Caught (also known as Caught Series, or Caught the Series) is a musical-comedy web series created by DeStorm Power. Beginning in 2017, the first season of the series consists of 20 1-minute videos, telling the story of the aftermath of a man's girlfriend unexpectedly arriving home while his sidechick is in their bed. Released weekly through Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, the series quickly went viral, amassing millions of views per episode.
The songs from the first season were released as an album, and an 8-episode second season was released in 2018 through the Zeus Network.[1] A 6-episode third season, called Caught Series: Secrets, began in 2023, being released on social media.
Production[edit]
DeStorm Power created Caught as a way of making "something fresh and original for my fanbase." Power was influenced by R. Kelly's Trapped in the Closet series, particularly how the series kept fans' attention for each installment.[2]
