CBS Studios has revealed the first members of the voice cast for its upcoming animated series adaptation of the hit game Among Us. As reported by Variety, Randall Park (Always Be My Maybe and Fresh Off the Boat), Yvette Nicole Brown (Community), and Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) will lend their voices to the project. Ashley Johnson, from The Last of Us video games and Blindspot, rounds out the cast.
The animated series, first announced as in development in June 2023, is a collaboration between CBS Eye Animation Productions and Innersloth, the studio behind the game. Owen Dennis, known for his work on the Cartoon Network/Max series Infinity Train, will serve as the creator and executive producer of the project.
The series will mirror the game’s premise, as crew members conspire to identify the imposter lurking in their midst while ensuring their spaceship operates smoothly. Animation will be managed by Titmouse, known for Big Mouth and Star Trek: Lower Decks.
While the network or streaming platform for the series is yet to be finalized, discussions are reportedly ongoing. In addition to Dennis, Forest Willard, Marcus Bromander, and Carl Neisser of Innersloth will serve as executive producers. Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, and Ben Kalina of Titmouse are also attached to the project.
In January, CBS also dropped a first-look teaser image for the upcoming animated series.
