The hit game of suspicion and sabotage is heading to television, as the creator of Infinity Train takes on an animated Among Us series that promises murder, mayhem, and plenty of mistrust among crewmates.
The hidden-role game debuted in 2018 but rose to popularity in 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Indoors-bound, many took to virtual spaces – the space stations of Among Us included – to socialize with friends.
Beyond the vague premise, there is no clear storyline to Among Us. There are also no set characters, since everyone basically plays their own crewmate (which can be customized with color and accessories). But if there is one thing Dennis did brilliantly in Infinity Train, it was make the setting a vivid and integral part of the story. And the distinct areas with their specific tasks in each Among Us map are definitely ripe with potential.
When will the Among Us animated series premiere
No official premiere date has been announced for the Among Us animated series as of January 2026.
Current Status
