The Catch 22 miniseries sees Kyle Chandler taking over a role initially meant for George Clooney, who opts for a less demanding part due to his producing and directing responsibilities. The series, based on Joseph Heller's novel, follows Yossarian, a World War II bombardier frustrated by the increasing missions imposed by his own army. The story highlights the absurdity of bureaucratic rules, particularly the infamous Catch 22. The production aims for authenticity by shooting on location and using surviving WWII planes.
