New animated horror series 'Among Us Show' sends a full-body chills warning from Netflix
- The 'Among Us Show' is a brand new, spine-tingling animated series based on the hit multiplayer game, coming exclusively to Netflix, promising a canon-bending story that explores the game’s deepest, darkest lore.
- While the game had simple tasks and deceptions, the show will follow a crewmate named Red who discovers a sinister, cosmic entity that ‘infects’ the Impostors and has already taken over the ship’s AI, making every kill a premeditated act of cosmic horror.
- Production confirms the show will feature a complex, serialized mystery that expands the “Among Us” universe, with each episode peeling back layers of a conspiracy that links the new characters to an ancient, sleep-inducing threat.
- Unlike the game’s silent, cartoonish violence, the series will employ a full-body chills visual style, using sound design and psychological dread to make each emergency meeting feel like a life-or-death interrogation.
- The first trailer, released today, shows a chilling transformation: a normal crewmate's face melting into the “sussy” smile as lights flicker, confirming the show is targeting the horror genre with a mature, story-driven twist.
