The game's developers will be co-producing the Among Us animated showCBS Eye Animation Productions has partnered with Innersloth, the studio behind Among Us, to create an animated TV Series based on everyone's favorite pandemic-era pastime.
According to a report by Variety (https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/among-us-animated-series-cbs-studios-owen-dennis-1235655516/), Among Us will put Owen Dennis of Infinity Train fame in the creator's seat. He'll also serve as co-executive producer alongside Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, and Antonio Canobbio of Innersloth. The series won't stray from the game's basic premise.
?Members of your crew have been replaced by an alien shapeshifter intent on causing confusion, sabotaging the ship, and killing everyone," reads the show's official logline. "Root out the ?Impostor? or fall victim to its murderous designs.?

Titmouse, the studio behind Big Mouth and, more appropriately, Star Trek: Lower Decks, will be in charge of animation. Ben Kalina from Titmouse will also have a role as co-executive producer.
We're yet to hear about networks or streaming platforms interested in the project, but we doubt that'll take long. This is a big property, and the show has The Animation Guild behind it, not the WGA. Its production likely won't slow down due to the WGA strike (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Writers_Guild_of_America_strike).
Anyone who wants to know more about what the Among Us show might have in store should check out Infinity Train. It's a marvelously heartwarming animated show that tells the story of a bunch of great characters until the moment they all die via the scythe of unfair cancellation. Just kidding. Though the cancellation did happen and was absolutely unfair, none of Infinity Train's stories ended on cliffhangers. You should totally check it out.
Video game adaptations have finally begun to get things right with Arcane and The Last of Us. Here's hoping CBS continues the trend with its take on Among Us.
