Showtime has set the premiere date for the military drama The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial.
Written and directed by the late Academy Award®-celebrated filmmaker William Friedkin (The French Connection), and based on The Caine Mutiny, Herman Wouk’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial follows a U.S. naval first officer who is standing trial for orchestrating a mutiny after his captain shows signs of becoming unhinged and jeopardizes the lives of his crew.
Following the film’s premiere at the 80th Venice International Film Festival, The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial premieres in the US exclusively on the Paramount+ with Showtime plan on Friday, October 6, before making its linear debut on Sunday, October 8, at 9pm ET/PT on Showtime.
The film is set to premiere on Paramount+ in all international markets where the streaming service is currently live, including the UK, Canada, Latin America, the Caribbean, Australia, France, Italy, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and South Korea.

At the start of a naval court-martial, Barney Greenwald (Clarke), a skeptical naval lawyer, reluctantly agrees to defend Lt. Steve Maryk (Lacy), a first officer of the U.S. Navy who took control of the U.S.S. Caine from its domineering captain, Lt. Philip Francis Queeg (Sutherland), during a violent sea storm in unfriendly waters. As the trial progresses, Greenwald becomes increasingly concerned and questions if the events aboard the Caine were a true mutiny or simply the courageous acts of a group of sailors who did not trust their unstable leader.
A production of Republic Pictures feature, The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial is produced by Annabelle Dunne (Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold, Everything Is Copy and Fake Famous) and Matt Parker (Beasts of the Southern Wild), with Michael Salven (Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves) and Mike Upton (John Wick) serving as executive producers. The film is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
