Paramount+ today (June 5) revealed the surprise premiere of its new original animated series Among Us, announced live at Summer Game Fest in Los Angeles. Created by Owen Dennis and produced by CBS Studios and Innersloth, all ten episodes are now available to stream exclusively on Paramount+.
The announcement was made on stage by series stars Yvette Nicole Brown and Liv Hewson during the global livestream event. Fans in attendance and those watching worldwide were also treated to a first look at the official trailer. 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.
Among Us follows a group of eccentric, monochromatic Crewmates of a ship transporting junk across the galaxy who must root out an Impostor in their midst before they fall victim to its villainous designs.
The Paramount+ series is based on the globally popular multiplayer social deception game of the same name.
The voice cast includes Yvette Nicole Brown (Drake & Josh, Community, The Odd Couple) as “Orange,” Kimiko Glenn (Baby Shark's Big Show, Orange is the New Black) as “Cyan,” Liv Hewson (Yellowjackets, Bombshell) as “Black,” Ashley Johnson (The Last of Us, Blindspot) as “Purple,” Wayne Knight (Catscratch, Seinfeld, Hot in Cleveland) as “Lime,” Phil LaMarr (The Loud House, Futurama) as “Brown,” Randall Park (Always Be My Maybe, Fresh Off the Boat) as “Red,” Dan Stevens (Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Cuckoo) as “Blue,” Debra Wilson (Baby Shark's Big Show, MADtv) as “Yellow” and “Computer,” Elijah Wood (The Lords of the Rings trilogy, Wilford) as “Green,” and Patton Oswalt (Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, The Goldbergs, The King of Queens) as “White.”
Among Us is created by Owen Dennis, who also serves as executive producer alongside Forest Willard and Marcus Bromander, and Carl Neisser for Innersloth. Titmouse serves as the animation studio, with executive producers Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio and Ben Kalina.
"Emergency Meeting #42," Innersloth announced on their official dev blog. "IT’S FINALLY HERE CREWMATES!! At LOOOOOOOOOONG last, we can finally say the words so many of you have waited to hear: THE AMONG US ANIMATED SHOW IS OUT NOW! The entire show is available on Paramount+, with the first episode free now on their YouTube page. We’ve been so amazed by the work of CBS, Owen Dennis, and Titmouse. We couldn’t have gotten here without our producers Carl Neisser, and of course, Fortebass and Puffballs. We hope you love the show as much as we do!"
The Among Us game became a global phenomenon, reaching nearly 500 million monthly active users at its peak in Q4 2020. The game generated more than 4 billion views on YouTube and over 1.22 billion viewing sessions on Twitch.
In October 2020 alone, it ranked #1 on Google Play in 66 countries and #1 on iOS in 55 countries, with Top 100 placements in nearly every market worldwide.
Once fans have watched the show enough to memorize all the lines, they are invited to pop into Among Us game and continue all the mischief. The new Showbiz Cosmicube is available right now via the in-game store for 4,000 Beans. Themed after the show, they’ll be able to rock the fits of their favorite character(s).

Among Us has also released a brand new space themed Cosmic Cosmicube for 70 Stars. "Let your Crewmate take a trip in a little rocket ship, or chill with an Alien Space Cat. Just like space, this Cosmicube will go on forever!," said Innersloth.
Innersloth has also announced Among Us Story: On Guard, a upcoming narrative-driven adventure based in the Among Us universe. Fans will be able to get hands on with the game with a demo releasing on Among Us’s 8th birthday, Monday, June 15th, 2026!
