Among Us released in 2018, but the online multiplayer social deduction game really took off in 2020. The game from Innersloth revolves around identifying Imposters and who is the most ‘sus’ of the group. We learned in June 2023 that an Among Us animated series was in the works from Innersloth and CBS Studios. And now, in news we first saw at Variety, the Among Us animated series has a star-studded voice cast. The show will feature stars from The Lord of the Rings, The Last of Us, Community, and WandaVision.
The Among Us animated series voice cast will include the following—at least for Round 1:
Ashley Johnson as Purple, Chief of Security
Safety, suspicion, sarcasm
Task: wet blanket
Fun Fact: trust issues
Elijah Wood as Green, Unpaid Intern
Happy to be there
Task: whatever they’re told
Fun Fact: gets paid in pizza
Randall Park as Red, Captain of The Skeld
People-pleaser, blowhard
Task: leadership, confidence
Fun Fact: failed upwards
Yvette Nicole Brown as Orange, HR
Spineless corporate shill
Task: eliminate redundancy, redundantly
Fun Fact: fires you over email
We can’t wait to see the kind of shenanigans this crew will get into.
The Among Us animated series’ story follows that of the game. The official logline says:
Members of your crew have been replaced by an alien shapeshifter intent on causing confusion, sabotaging the ship, and killing everyone. Root out the Impostor or fall victim to its murderous designs.
No word on a release window yet, but stay tuned for more Among Us animated series details.
