The adaptation of the mobile game Among Us has added some additional voices to its roster. We found out earlier this month that Elijah Wood, Randall Park, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Ashley Johnson were voicing various guys on a starship where a shapeshifting alien has taken root. And today, we’ve got three more names to add to the list playing characters identified by a color of the rainbow who may or may not be an evil alien in disguise.
According to Deadline, Dan Stevens, Liv Hewson, and Kimiko Glenn are lending their voices to the animated production. Stevens’ previous credits are varied, and include the lead in FX’s Legion (pictured above), starring as a Hawaiian-shirt-wearing dude in Godzilla x Kong, and taking over the voice of Korvo on Solar Opposites. Hewson broke out in Yellowjackets, where they play the teenaged version of Van, and Glenn starred on Orange is the New Black as Brook Soso.
The goal of the Among Us game (and presumably, the show), is to uncover who on the spaceship has been replaced/taken over by a nefarious alien who, à la Mystique from the X-Men comics, can shift to look like whomever they want.
Here are the descriptions of each of the newly cast characters, per Deadline:
Stevens will voice ‘Blue’ — Doctor
Knowledgeable, charming, so hot
Task: physical and emotional care
Fun Fact: also has a doctorate in poetry
Hewson will voice ‘Black’ — Geologist
Stoic, coarse, rock-like
Task: supervising the ore shipments
Fun Fact: prefers rocks to people
Glenn will voice ‘Cyan’ – Gemologist
Healing through crystals
Task: supervising the vibes
Fun Fact: the vibes are bad
I’m into it! The show comes from Owen Dennis and is in production under CBS Studios’ Eye Animation Productions. No news yet on what streamer, however, the series will eventually end up.
