Peter has been depicted on screen a number of times, almost always in films concerning his wife Catherine. He was portrayed by [[Rudolf Klein-Rogge]] in the 1927 film ''[[The Loves of Casanova]]'', [[Douglas Fairbanks Jr.]] in the 1934 film ''[[The Rise of Catherine the Great]]'' and by [[Sam Jaffe]] in ''[[The Scarlet Empress]]'' the same year. In 1991 [[Reece Dinsdale]] portrayed him in the television series ''[[Young Catherine]]''. ''La Tempesta'' (1958) depicts Yemelyan Pugachev's effort to force his recognition as Peter III and offers a critical view of Catherine the Great, with [[Van Heflin]] in the role of Pugachev and [[Viveca Lindfors]] as Catherine. He was also depicted as a cowardly, drunken wife-beater in the Japanese [[anime]] ''[[Le Chevalier D'Eon]]''. He also appears in the [[Ekaterina (TV series)|2014 TV series]] played by [[Aleksandr Yatsenko]]. A historically inaccurate version of him was played by [[Nicholas Hoult]] in the 2020–2023 [[Hulu]] dramedy series ''[[The Great (2020 TV series)|The Great]]'', also starring [[Elle Fanning]] as Catherine.
