Premise

Among Us follows a premise similar to that of the video game. A crew team aboard the spaceship Skeld[1] discovers there is an alien shapeshifter who plans to cause chaos, sabotage the ship, and kill each member. Thus, the crew must find out which of them is the imposter.[2]

Cast

Production

The show was announced in June of 2023, with CBS Eye Animation Productions and Titmouse, Inc. producing.[6] Owen Dennis, creator of the series Infinity Train, was also confirmed to be involved as director.[7] The series' first teaser was revealed at Summer Game Fest in 2024 following the announcement of Outersloth.[8] That October, Dennis stated that the series was "all finished and wrapped in a bow".[9]

Casting

In March 2024, it was announced that Randall Park, Ashley Johnson, Yvette Nicole Brown, Elijah Wood, Dan Stevens, Liv Hewson and Kimiko Glenn would provide their voices for the series.[1][3] In April, Patton Oswalt, Debra Wilson, Phil LaMarr and Wayne Knight joined the cast.[4][5]

Release

Among Us was initially slated for release on Paramount+.[10] However, Dennis stated in 2024 that the series did not yet have a distributor.[9][11] Little updates on the series were given afterwards, leading to Among Us game developer Innersloth clarifying on their 2026 roadmap that the series is "not dead".[2]
