Emergency meeting! No, this isn’t a gathering to sniff out the impostor in our midst. It’s an announcement that the Among Us animated TV series is now streaming in its entirety on Paramount+. Series stars Yvette Nicole Brown and Liv Hewson revealed the surprise drop at Summer Game Fest in Los Angeles.
Released in 2018 by Innersloth, social deduction video game Among Us became a smash hit in 2020. Streamers flocked to it during the COVID-19 pandemic, with even U.S. Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar getting in on the impostor-seeking fun.
In 2023, CBS Studios announced that it was developing an animated series based on the game, with Infinity Train creator Owen Dennis heading up the adaptation. In 2024, the show revealed its stacked voice cast: Randall Park, Yvette Nicole Brown, Elijah Wood, Ashley Johnson, Dan Stevens, Liv Hewson, Kimiko Glenn, Debra Wilson, Patton Oswalt, Phil LaMarr, and Wayne Knight.

In October 2024, Dennis told Deadline that the show was “all finished and wrapped in a bow.” However, updates on the series slowed in the following years as the show sought distribution.
Now, Among Us has found distribution on Paramount+. And while Among Us is six years past its cultural prime, the series is still a charming ride, and far sharper and funnier than you’d expect an Among Us show to be.
Just like the game, Among Us follows a crew of colorful aliens on a mission through space. There’s just one huge problem: An alien impostor lurks among them, looking to kill them all and sabotage the mission. Who could it be? Is it unpaid intern Green (voiced by Wood)? Incompetent Captain Red (voiced by Park)? Enthusiastic HR rep Orange (voiced by Brown)? To figure out who’s truly the sussest of them all, you’ll just have to watch the show.
All 10 episodes of Among Us are now streaming on Paramount+.
