Hold onto your spacesuits, gamers, because Among Us is about to invade your screens in a whole new way!
CBS Studios has sent shockwaves through the gaming community by announcing the development of an animated series based on the wildly popular game Among Us. Brace yourselves for an adrenaline-pumping adventure as the exciting hidden-role game comes to life on a new platform.
Variety was the first to break the news about the Among Us cartoon series, and developer Innersloth has confirmed the exciting collaboration.
'Infinity Train' Creator Owen Dennis as 'Among Us' Cartoon Series Co-Producer and Creator
But that's not all-prepare to have your expectations skyrocket as the mastermind behind the Cartoon Network and HBO Max hit, "Infinity Train", Owen Dennis, takes the helm as the show's creator.
With Dennis's unparalleled storytelling prowess, you'll surely be immersed in a gripping narrative where an alien imposter infiltrates a spaceship, orchestrating chaos, sabotage, and spine-chilling crewmate eliminations.
Among Us burst onto the scene in 2018 but achieved stratospheric fame in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic forced people to stay indoors. Seeking virtual avenues for connection and entertainment, players flocked to Among Us, transforming space stations into social hubs where friendships and alliances were forged.
The game's simplicity, combined with its ability to create an atmosphere thick with suspicion and paranoia, became the perfect formula for pandemic-weary individuals craving social interaction.
One might wonder: how will a game with no fixed storyline or characters translate into an animated series? Well, Owen Dennis has that uncanny knack for turning abstract concepts into extraordinary tales. His work on "Infinity Train" demonstrated his remarkable ability to weave captivating narratives within imaginative worlds.
The distinct areas and engaging tasks present in each Among Us map provide fertile ground for Dennis to breathe life into the crewmates, their relationships, and the constant lurking menace of the imposter.
Paramount+ Could Be the Streaming Platform for 'Among Us' Animated Series; Nothing is Final Yet
Partnering with Dennis to animate this thrilling series is none other than Titmouse, the acclaimed animation studio renowned for their work on "Big Mouth" and "The Legend of Vox Machina". With their knack for pushing creative boundaries and delivering visually striking content, Titmouse promises to inject the Among Us universe with vibrant colors, fluid motion, and meticulous attention to detail.
While details regarding the streaming platform or network are still under wraps, the involvement of CBS Studios suggests that Paramount+ may become the sought-after home for the Among Us animated series.
Paramount+ has been making waves in the streaming world, and with CBS Studios backing this exciting venture, the odds of the series finding its place on the platform seem favorable.
However, fans can't help but harbor concerns about Paramount+'s history of swift show cancellations and deletions. Let's just hope they give Among Us the opportunity to shine!
One burning question remains: who will lend their voices to these iconic characters? The series has yet to unveil its voice cast, leaving fans eagerly speculating about which talented professionals will bring the crewmates and imposter to life.
As of press time, there is no release date for the Among Us animated series just yet. However, rest assured that work on the show will progress smoothly as it falls under the jurisdiction of The Animation Guild, eliminating any potential disruptions from labor disputes.
Prepare yourselves, fellow space travelers, as Among Us prepares to infiltrate the small screen. With CBS Studios and Innersloth joining forces, the creative brilliance of Owen Dennis, and the animation wizardry of Titmouse, we can only imagine the thrills, shocks, and betrayals that await us in the animated Among Us universe.
Stay vigilant, and remember, trust no one!
