Among Us Animated Series Announces Star-Studded Voice Cast

In an exciting development for fans of the popular video game Among Us, CBS Studios has unveiled the voice cast for the upcoming animated series based on the game. The cast features some of the entertainment industry’s most beloved actors, including Randall Park of Fresh Off the Boat, Yvette Nicole Brown from Community, Elijah Wood from The Lord of the Rings saga, and Ashley Johnson, known for her role in Critical Role. The series promises to bring the thrilling and deceitful world of Among Us to life, with each actor voicing a member of The Skeld, a spaceship crew navigating through sabotage and betrayal.

Developed by CBS Studios and animated by Titmouse, the studio behind Star Trek: Lower Decks and The Legend of Vox Machina, the Among Us animated series has not yet announced a streaming platform or network. Owen Dennis, known for Infinity Train, leads the creative charge as the creator of the series. He is joined by executive producers Forest Willard, Marcus Bromander, and Carl Neisser of Innersloth (the creators of the Among Us game) along with Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, and Ben Kalina from Titmouse.

The Among Us game, first released in 2018, saw a massive surge in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic. It revolves around crewmates trying to complete tasks on a spaceship while imposters sabotage their efforts and eliminate them. Players must deduce who the imposters are and vote them off the ship to survive. Despite plans for a sequel, the game’s developers chose to expand the original game with new features and maps instead.

CBS Studios provided character descriptions, giving fans a sneak peek into the personalities they can expect:

• Randall Park voices ‘Red’, the people-pleasing, yet somewhat inept Captain of The Skeld.
• Ashley Johnson brings ‘Purple’, the Chief of Security with a knack for safety, suspicion, and sarcasm, to life.
• Yvette Nicole Brown voices ‘Orange’, the HR department’s spineless corporate shill.
• Elijah Wood portrays ‘Green’, the ever-optimistic and unpaid intern.

This star-studded cast and the creative minds behind the series promise an engaging and faithful adaptation of the game’s dynamic world. Fans eagerly await further details, including the release date and platform for the Among Us animated series.
