Among Us

TV show · 2026

This 10-episode animated comedy-horror follows a spaceship crew trying to root out a murderous alien shapeshifter among them, faithfully adapting the beloved social-deception game. The tone is comedic and fast-paced, but the show leans hard into graphic cartoon gore, frequent jump scares, a genuinely dark atmosphere in later episodes, and mild swearing that put it firmly in older-viewer territory.

Best suited for tweens and teens who are already fans of the game and comfortable with comedic but graphic cartoon violence, roughly 10 and up.
