Paramount+ Surprise-Releases 'Among Us' Animated Series

The Owen Dennis–created, 10-episode show uses Titmouse animation and a star voice cast to turn the game's faceless crewmates into a PG-13 comedy‑murder‑mystery with a workplace critique.

Overview

  • Paramount+ quietly published all 10 episodes on Friday, June 5, announcing the drop live at Summer Game Fest so viewers can binge the short 12–15 minute installments immediately.
  • The series was created by Owen Dennis and produced by CBS Studios and Innersloth, with Titmouse handling animation and executive producers including Chris Prynoski and company leaders from Innersloth.
  • A large ensemble cast voices the crewmates, with performers such as Yvette Nicole Brown, Randall Park, Kimiko Glenn, Elijah Wood, Patton Oswalt and Dan Stevens giving each color a distinct personality.
  • Early responses vary, with some critics and reviewers praising the show's inventive visual choices and dark comedy while others call the plotting predictable and the character arcs thin.
  • The show adapts the game's social‑deduction core by inventing visual and vocal language for mouthless characters and by foregrounding a recurring critique of corporate labor practices, continuing the industry trend of game-to-TV adaptations and surprise streamer drops.
