The forthcoming animated series “Among Us” at CBS Studios has enlisted its inaugural voice cast members, as per the insights gathered by the news.
Randall Park, known for his roles in “Always Be My Maybe” and “Fresh Off the Boat,” along with Yvette Nicole Brown, recognized for her performances in “Community” and “The Odd Couple,” Elijah Wood, famed for his appearance in “The Lords of the Rings” trilogy and “Wilford,” and Ashley Johnson, notable for her roles in “The Last of Us” and “Blindspot,” will all contribute their voices to the animated rendition of the widely popular mobile game.
Variety previously disclosed the development of the series exclusively in June 2023. It is being crafted by CBS Eye Animation Productions in collaboration with Innersloth, the autonomous game studio behind “Among Us.”
Owen Dennis is set to assume the roles of creator and executive producer for the project under his comprehensive agreement with CBS Studios. As per the official outline, the series is grounded on the fundamental concept of the game, specifically, “Members of your crew have been replaced by an alien shapeshifter intent on causing confusion, sabotaging the ship, and killing everyone. Root out the ‘Impostor’ or fall victim to its murderous designs.”
Titmouse, recognized for its work on “Big Mouth” and “Star Trek: Lower Decks,” will be the animation studio behind the series. Alongside Dennis, Forest Willard, Marcus Bromander, and Carl Neisser from Innersloth will also serve as executive producers, joined by Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, and Ben Kalina from Titmouse. Although no specific network or streaming platform has been finalized yet, discussions in this regard are reportedly ongoing. CBS Eye Animation Productions will produce in partnership with Innersloth.
CBS Studios and Innersloth jointly declared today the casting of Randall Park (Fresh Off The Boat), Ashley Johnson (The Last of Us), Yvette Nicole Brown (Community), and Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings film trilogy) to voice characters in AMONG US, the series production based on the wildly popular social deception game.
