An elite team of Aussie soldiers is sent to an island nation to retrieve a secret file that has gone astray.

Mistaken for Americans, they are captured by freedom fighters and produce a hostage video that goes viral. When the soldiers achieve celebrity status on social media, they realize that being caught might just be the best thing that could’ve happened to them.

“C*A*U*G*H*T” explores themes of identity, fame, and the absurdity of the viral age. “Why can’t we comedically deconstruct the intellectual ideas that humanity is facing right now?”says Kick Gurry who directs, produces and stars in the six-part series.

Additional cast includes Penn, Sarandon, Brown, Nicholas Hammond (“The Sound of Music”), Silvia Colloca (“The Twelve”), Matthew Fox (“Lost”), Ben O’Toole (“Detroit”), Lincoln Younes (“Last King of the Cross”), Alexander England (Stan Original series “Black Snow”), Mel Jarnson (“Mortal Kombat”), Fayssal Bazzi (“Stateless”) and Dorian Nkono (“The Twelve”).

The show is set up as an original production by Australian streamer Stan that will upload all episodes on Sept. 28. International distribution is handled by Fremantle, which has already secured the U.K.’s new streaming service ITVX for an October release.
