Paramount+ today announced the surprise premiere of its new original animated series Among Us based on the globally popular social deception game.
Series stars Yvette Nicole Brown and Liv Hewson announced all ten episodes are now available, exclusively on Paramount+, at Summer Game Fest Friday in Los Angeles.
Created by Owen Dennis (Infinity Train) and produced by CBS Studios and Innersloth, Among Us follows a group of eccentric, monochromatic Crewmates of a ship transporting junk across the galaxy who must root out an Impostor in their midst before they fall victim to its villainous designs.

The Among Us game became a global phenomenon, reaching nearly 500 million monthly active users at its peak in Q4 2020. The game generated more than 4 billion views on YouTube and over 1.22 billion viewing sessions on Twitch. In October 2020 alone, it ranked #1 on Google Play in 66 countries and #1 on iOS in 55 countries, with Top 100 placements in nearly every market worldwide.
