C*A*U*G*H*T season one preview

Four dim-witted soldiers trade their freedom for fame in this outrageous comedy. Featuring a laugh-out-loud ensemble of Australian talent and Hollywood stars like Sean Penn, C*A*U*G*H*T is a bold, bawdy satire you won’t want to miss. As we explain below, you can watch C*A*U*G*H*T season one online for free now.

Created by Kick Gurry (Edge of Tomorrow), the show's inspirations included the absurdist humor of Monty Python as well as 1970s war comedy series M*A*S*H. 

“The television and films that I grew up loving,” Gurry says, “you didn't know where the story was going to go.” 

C*A*U*G*H*T brings together an incredible, explosive cast. Ben O’Toole, Gurry, Alex England and Lincoln Younes, all friend and co-stars of ABC’s Barons, play the Australian military men – among them disgraced actor Rowdy and the embarrassingly well-endowed Albhanis – who find the adrenaline rush of fame impossible to resist after making “the greatest hostage video ever.”

Meanwhile, Sean Penn plays, well, himself basically: a famous actor and humanitarian hellbent on bringing the boys home – whether they want to be rescued or not. He’ll be reunited with his former Dead Man Walking co-star, actress Susan Sarandon, who’ll feature here as the US Secretary of State.

Ready for a taboo-busting satire? Then read on, as we explain below how to watch C*A*U*G*H*T season one online from anywhere in the world now.
