Among Us News

Creation and Release Date
Among Us News is a cartoon that released on Nickelodeon in October 2020 as the popularity of Among Us was booming at the time. The series was originally pitched in September with the old pilot (lost media) but was rejected because the idea was not interesting until the boom of popularity it had. The first 3 episodes were released at the same time on the network and the audience ratings were very good. So the series got more episodes and seasons and until March 2022 when it was canceled.

Plot
Among Us News features two news reporters, Crewmate 9 and 4, as they create their news network that reports major events. Every episode these crazy events end up going out of control, so they are the ones to go save their spaceship. However, an imposter watches them from a distance, planning a devious attack.

Trivia
The show was originally pitched to Cartoon Network, but was rejected because the executives didn’t like the idea.

Season 6 has a different rating than the rest of the show because of its intensity (TV-Y7 to TV-PG)

Innersloth was a big contributor to the series as they made animation for some episode and wrote scripts for “Rise of Riot” and “Cyborg’d”
