A new animated show based on the iconic video game, Among Us, has been released on Paramount+. The announcement has come as a surprise to video game fans since there haven’t been many updates about the project since 2024.
All ten episodes of the series are currently available to stream on the platform. The show stars big names like Yvette Nicole Brown, Liv Hewson, Patton Oswalt, Elijah Wood, Kimiko Glenn, Ashley Johnson, Wayne Knight, Phil LaMarr, Randall Park, Dan Stevens, and Debra Wilson.
The show is based on the video game, which came out in 2018 but exploded in popularity during the pandemic since friends were able to play with each other from afar. According to Variety, the game reached “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.”
Like the game, the show is about a spaceship staffed with human-like creatures in different colored spacesuits—but one of them is an imposter. It is essentially a murder mystery that will appeal to fans of The Thing from John Carpenter, since viewers are never sure who to trust.

Although the show is rated TV-PG, it isn’t aimed toward young children. According to Game Informer, “There's mild swearing, copious cartoon gore, and a pretty bleak tone in the later episodes as the body count begins to stack up.”
However, they gave the series high marks overall, saying, “While it's not necessarily groundbreaking storytelling, I enjoyed its various twists, animation style, and balance of respect for the source material and the medium of television. Most of all, it nails a distinct tone of drama, comedy, and light horror that defines the experience when playing the game. Among Us takes its source material seriously and succeeds because of it.”
The original game can be played on most major platforms, including mobile devices, the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PCs.
