Summary
- The Among Us adaptation features a surprisingly large and talented voice cast.
- The show follows the Skeld spaceship crew battling an alien Impostor.
- Voice actors expressed excitement about the murder mystery animated series.
Paramount+'s upcoming adaptation of the popular video game Among Us is set to feature an unprecedented ensemble of voice talent, reflecting a broader trend in streaming entertainment. This sci-fi mystery comedy, developed by Infinity Train showrunner Owen Dennis, adapts the game's premise of a spaceship crew on the Skeld attempting to identify a shape-shifting alien Impostor.
The series promises a blend of murder mystery and character comedy, drawing parallels to Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" but with a lighter, more playful tone, reminiscent of classic sci-fi horror films like "The Thing" and "Alien." The project has been in development for two years, with its stacked voice cast seen as a justification for the extended production period.
The impressive cast includes Ashley Johnson as Purple, Randall Park as Red, Yvette Nicole Brown as Orange, Wayne Knight as Lime, Phil LaMarr as Brown, Dan Stevens as Blue, and Elijah Wood as Green. Actors like Wood and Park have voiced their excitement, noting the appeal of a "murder mystery animated series" and the thorough adaptation of the game's characters. Kimiko Glenn also expressed enthusiasm for the show's novel storyline.
