Red Alert will premiere on October 7, 2025, on Paramount+. The streaming service set that date to coincide with the second anniversary of the October 7, 2023, attacks. The announcement names the project as a limited series and confirms it will be available on the Paramount+ platform for viewers in territories where the service holds rights.

The series is described in public notices as a scripted drama that portrays the October 7 attacks and the immediate aftermath. The public information emphasizes the connection between the premiere date and the real-world event, and it specifies a compact episode run rather than a multi-season plan.
