Among Us creator says Paramount shadow-dropped show to surprise viewers

A new animated TV adaptation of Among Us shadow-dropped on Paramount Plus after being announced live at Summer Game Fest, where voice stars Yvette Nicole Brown and Liv Hewson revealed the news and treated fans to the first official trailer. Creator Owen Dennis defended the surprise release, saying, "People like surprises.

The whole show is full of surprises. That's what we did. Make the show full of surprises, and then surprise people to get into the show in the first place. Make everything a surprise. Let's go!" The series follows the game's setup: crewmates on a spacecraft must complete tasks while shapeshifting imposters sabotage the ship and pick off crew members before being spotted.

Like the game, the show keeps both the crewmates and viewers guessing who the alien imposter could be.
