Among Us
Watch if you love the game Among Us or are looking for a short, dynamic animated series with detective elements. It's not "Rick and Morty" with its philosophy, but the humor, tension, and recognizable characters make it great background content. Perfect for those who want to relax and watch astronauts suspect each other of betrayal.
The premiere on Paramount+ took place on June 5, 2026 — a quiet release before the official announcement. "Among Us" is an American animated series based on the 2020 game of the same name. The action takes place on the spaceship The Skeld. Some crew members have been replaced by alien impostors who intend to sabotage and eliminate the remaining crew. The humans must survive and identify the false specialists.
The tone is humorous, tense, with elements of science fiction and detective. The series maintains the spirit of the game: each episode is a new round where the viewer knows more than the characters and watches as suspicions destroy trust. Randall Park voices Captain Red, Ashley Johnson voices Security Chief Purple, and Dan Stevens voices Doctor Blue.
Format — 10 episodes of ~13 minutes each. Production — CBS Studios and CBS Eye Animation Productions. Creator — Owen Dennis ("Infinity Train"). The animation retains the recognizable visual style of the game but adds characterization and story arcs.
If you enjoyed "Rick and Morty" or "Phineas and Ferb," "Among Us" is closer to the former in tone but with a simplified structure. Fans of the game will enjoy the Easter eggs and references, while those looking for a short humorous animated series will find this one of the most unexpected animated projects of 2026.
