“Scream” Promo Introduces “Likable Characters”
In my review of MTV’s “Scream,” I poke fun at a character who gives a hilarious monologue about movies creating “likable characters” (so the viewer feels emotional when they die) in a series with no likable characters.
MTV has released a new promo that actually shares this moment, although you won’t be able to see what I’m talking about until the “Scream” premiere on June 30th.
In “Scream,” “What starts as a YouTube video going viral, soon leads to problems for the teenagers of Lakewood and serves as the catalyst for a murder that opens up a window to the town’s troubled past.“
The cast of “Scream” includes Willa Fitzgerald, Taylor-Klaus, Bobby Campo, Connor Weil and Joel Gretsch.
Calling all Crewmates! Paramount+ announced today the surprise premiere of its new original animated series Among Us, which was unveiled live at Summer Game Fest.
Created by Owen Dennis and produced by CBS Studios and Innersloth, all ten episodes of Among Us are now available to stream exclusively on Paramount+.
The series follows “a group of eccentric, monochromatic Crewmates of a ship transporting junk across the galaxy who must root out an Impostor in their midst before they fall victim to its villainous designs.”
It’s based on the globally popular multiplayer social deception game of the same name, which has been brought to life in the brand new trailer below.
Among Us boasts a star-studded voice cast, too:
- Yvette Nicole Brown as “Orange”
- Kimiko Glenn as “Cyan”
- Liv Hewson as “Black”
- Ashley Johnson as “Purple”
- Wayne Knight as “Lime”
- Phil LaMarr as “Brown”
- Randall Park as “Red”
- Dan Stevens as “Blue”
- Debra Wilson as “Yellow” and “Computer”
- Elijah Wood as “Green”
- Patton Oswalt as “White”
Animation studio Titmouse is behind the series.
Among Us became a global sensation in 2020, generating more than 4 billion views on YouTube and over 1.22 billion viewing sessions on Twitch. In October 2020 alone, it ranked #1 on Google Play in 66 countries and #1 on iOS in 55 countries, with Top 100 placements in nearly every market worldwide. The game is available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series.
The paranoid phenomenon now heads to Paramount+ in animated series form. Watch the new trailer below as all episodes launch on streaming today.
