Stan Original Series C*A*U*G*H*T - Alexander England

Our troops aren’t safe. Neither are our DMs in Stan Original Series C*A*U*G*H*T.

After the Australian Minister of Defence texts a ‘secret file’ to the Princess of Behati Prinsloo, a small island nation, he sends four Australian soldiers into the war-torn country on a secret mission to retrieve the file. Mistaken for Americans, they are captured by freedom fighters and produce a hostage video that goes viral. When the soldiers reach celebrity status on social media, they realise that being caught might just be the best thing that could’ve happened to them. They’re about to make search history.

The series also stars the biggest ensemble of Hollywood and home-grown talent in an Australian original television production with Susan Sarandon (Blue Beetle), Travis Fimmel (Vikings), Nicholas Hammond (The Sound of Music) and Tuppence Middleton (Downton Abbey) joining director, producer and writer Kick Gurry (Edge of Tomorrow) alongside Sean Penn (Gaslit), Matthew Fox (Lost), Bryan Brown (Palm Beach), 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). Also starring in the series is Rebecca Breeds (Clarice), Bella Heathcote (Stan Original Series Scrublands) and Erik Thomson (Stan Original Series Black Snow). Phew!

In this episode, host and head of entertainment at Mediaweek and Chattr, Anita Anabel chatted with Alexander England about the absolute chaos that is this series, how the series came off the ground and just how on earth they managed to secure some of the biggest names in the world!
