Among Us Animated Series Surprise Drops on Paramount+ With Star-Studded Voice Cast

Emergency Meeting: Among Us Just Surprise-Dropped on Paramount+

If you've been wondering what to binge this weekend, Innersloth's hit game Among Us just got a whole lot more interesting. The animated series has completely out of nowhere dropped all 10 episodes on Paramount+, and honestly, the voice cast alone is worth your subscription.

Series creator Owen Dennis (known for Infinity Train) assembled a genuinely stacked lineup. Yvette Nicole Brown (Community, Drake & Josh) voices Orange, while Liv Hewson (Yellowjackets, Sabrina) voices Black. And that's just the beginning — Elijah Wood, Patton Oswalt, Dan Stevens, Kimiko Glenn, Wayne Knight, Randall Park, Ashley Johnson, and Debra Wilson round out the crew.

From Game to Screen: How It Happened

The surprise reveal happened at Summer Game Fest in Los Angeles, where Brown and Hewson announced the drop to a stunned crowd. There had been basically zero updates since production wrapped in 2024, so this was genuinely unexpected. The trailer dropped at the event, showing the colorful crewmates aboard their intergalactic ship trying to root out a suspicious impostor.

Animation studio Titmouse (responsible for Big Mouth and The Legend of Vox Machina) handled the production, with Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, and Ben Kalina serving as executive producers. Innersloth co-founders Forest Willard and Marcus Bromander are also on board as executive producers.

Why This Matters for Game Adaptations

Among Us was an absolute cultural phenomenon during the pandemic, hitting nearly 500 million monthly active users and racking up over 4 billion views on YouTube. It topped the App Store in 55 countries and Google Play in 66. Translating that social deception gameplay into a serialized animated format is a genuinely interesting creative challenge — and Paramount+ clearly believes it can work.

With 10 episodes available right now, this isn't the slow-roll strategy most streaming platforms go for. You can binge the whole thing today. Whether it captures the paranoia and hilarity of the actual game remains to be seen, but with this cast and creative team, there's real reason to be optimistic.

The bottom line: If you're a Paramount+ subscriber, you've got 10 episodes of Among Us to devour. If you're not — well, maybe it's time to reconsider. Emergency meeting adjourned. (≧◡≦)
