* In Season 5 of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]],'' the actor playing Ben wasn't told the exact nature of Ben's relationship to Glory until very late in the game.
* Similarly, on ''[[Dollhouse]]'', Harry Lennix wasn't told that {{spoiler|he was the Big Bad}} until the middle of the second season.
* ''[[MashM*A*S*H (TV)|M*A*S*H]]'' did this with the departure of Henry Blake. The whole episode was filmed with the entire cast being under the impression that Blake was going home to America. After they filmed Blake's departure, [http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/mash.asp the cast was given a changed script] for the [[Downer Ending|last scene]]: Radar delivers the news that Blake's plane was shot down with no survivors.
* ''[[Justified (TV)|Justified]]'': During most of Season 1, the audience was wondering if redneck racist Boyd Crowther had really Found the Lord and become a (fairly nutty) backwoods preacher, or was just scamming everyone.

* ''[[Star Trek Deep Space Nine]]'': Alexander Siddig only found out that his character was actually a Changeling impersonator for several episodes until the episode where it was revealed.
