Emergency meeting! The animated “Among Us” TV show has suddenly dropped on Paramount+, with all 10 episodes now available to stream in full.
Series stars Yvette Nicole Brown and Liv Hewson made the surprise announcement Friday afternoon at the Summer Game Fest in Los Angeles. The announcement comes as a, well, surprise because there had been practically no updates on the project since 2024, when production on the video game adaptation wrapped.
Fans at the Summer Game Fest and watching the livestream were treated to the trailer for the show, in which the cute, monochromatic crewmates aboard an intergalactic ship must root out a “suspicious” impostor.
The series, from creator Owen Dennis, features a voice cast that includes Brown as “Orange,” Kimiko Glenn as “Cyan,” 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” and Patton Oswalt as “White.”
Dennis executive produces alongside Forest Willard and Marcus Bromander, as well as Carl Neisser for Innersloth. Titmouse is the animation studio, with executive producers Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio and Ben Kalina.
“Among Us” is based on the popular internet game that became a global phenomenon during the pandemic, reaching nearly 500 million monthly active users at its peak toward the end of 2020. The game generated more than 4 billion views on YouTube and was ranked No 1. on the App Store in 55 countries and on Google Play in 66 countries.
