The show follows a spaceship crew aboard the Skeld that must identify an alien shapeshifter intent on causing chaos and sabotage. The premise mirrors the viral social deduction game it’s based on, with episodes featuring familiar scenarios like emergency meetings and sabotage tasks.
After being announced in June 2023, the series faced a long wait to distribution. Creator Owen Dennis revealed in October 2024 that production had finished, but the show remained without a home. Innersloth, the game’s developer, clarified in early 2026 that the series was “not dead,” keeping fans hopeful for a release.
