Exciting news for fans of the popular mobile game ‘Among Us’! The animated series adaptation, which has been in development since June 2023, has announced its first voice cast members. The series, a collaboration between CBS Eye Animation Productions and Innersloth, has roped in some big names for the voice roles.
The cast includes Randall Park, known for his roles in ‘Always Be My Maybe’ and ‘Fresh Off the Boat’, Yvette Nicole Brown from ‘Community’ and ‘The Odd Couple’, Elijah Wood of ‘The Lords of the Rings’ trilogy and ‘Wilford’, and Ashley Johnson, recognized for her work in ‘The Last of Us’ and ‘Blindspot’.
The official logline of the series states that it is based on the premise of the game, where crew members are replaced by an alien shapeshifter aiming to create chaos, sabotage the ship, and eliminate everyone. The task is to identify the ‘Impostor’ before falling victim to its deadly intentions.
The animation studio for the series will be Titmouse, known for its work on ‘Big Mouth’ and ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’. The project will be helmed by Owen Dennis, who will also serve as the creator and executive producer under his overall deal with CBS Studios. Other executive producers include Forest Willard, Marcus Bromander, and Carl Neisser of Innersloth, along with Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, and Ben Kalina of Titmouse.
While the series is currently without a network or streamer, discussions for its distribution are reportedly underway. CBS Eye Animation Productions produces the series in association with Innersloth, and the anticipation for the ‘Among Us’ animated series continues to build with the announcement of this star-studded voice cast.
Character descriptions for the cast members have also been revealed:
Randall Park as ‘Red’ – Captain of The Skeld, known for being a people-pleaser and a blowhard, with the task of leadership and confidence.
Ashley Johnson as ‘Purple’ – Chief of Security, characterized by safety, suspicion, and sarcasm, with the task of being a wet blanket.
