Theย Among Usย animated series is rounding out its cast with a whole host of new names! Not long after the show released a cast list last month, a new announcement has addedย Debra Wilson, Patton Oswalt, Phil LaMarr, and Wayne Knight to the lineup. They have a great deal of experience in voice acting and live-action acting between them, and if the reports are to be believed, they’re all going to be playing 100% trustworthy crewmates. But, as anyone familiar withย Among Usย can tell you, an impostor can be anyone. So, the question remains: is one of these new faces the impostor?
Patton Oswalt and Debra Wilson Join ‘Among Us’ As Brightly Colored Crewmates
For anyone who’s somehow unfamiliar,ย Among Usย is aย social deception gameย where someone among your brightly-colored, vaguely bean-shaped friends is really an alien impostor who’s tasked with killing everyone else on the spaceship, base, or airship. The popularity of the game skyrocketed at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it has since reached peak meme status. Theย Among Usย animated series entered development in the summer of 2023 with Owen Dennis, creator ofย Infinity Train, at the helm.
Titmouse, the studio behindย The Legend of Vox Machinaย andย Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse, will be handling theย animationย forย Among Us, and from what we’ve seen so far, the show looks charmingly similar to the animation in the game. Last month, they announced that Dan Stevens, Kimiko Glenn, Liv Hewson, Ashley Johnson, Randall Park, Elijah Wood, and Yvette Nicole Brown will be starring as the voices for the blue, cyan, black, purple, red, green, and orange characters, respectively. In an effort to preserve the suspense, they were all labeled as crewmates, and the same is true for the show’s newest additions.
A new announcement has added four new names to the cast. Debra Wilson, the voice of Cere in theย Star Wars Jediย games, will star as the Yellow Crewmate. Patton Oswalt, who starred as Dr. Hubert Wartzki inย Ghostbusters: Frozen Empireย and the voice of Remy inย Ratatouille,ย will star as the White Crewmate. Phil LaMarr, who appeared as Marvin inย Pulp Fictionย and in variousย Futuramaย roles, will be the Brown Crewmate. Wayne Knight, who was Nedry inย Jurassic Park, and Marcel inย Infinity Train,ย will be the Lime Crewmate.
Are any of them secretly the impostor, or are they victims-to-be? The only way to find out will be to keep a close eye on the Among Us series – and its cast – as it continues development.
