Okay, I'll admit it: I was one click away from making a "Disney XD is about to become the most sus channel on television" joke in my group chat. When I saw that an Among Us TV show was supposedly airing on Disney XD, my little crewmate heart did a double take. I mean, after spending hundreds of hours accusing my friends of venting, the idea of watching animated beans run around a spaceship on actual television felt like the universe finally validating my life choices. Then reality hit me like an emergency meeting buzzer, and yes, the rumor was as fake as a crewmate claiming "I was in Electrical the whole time."
Let's be real: Among Us was released back in 2018, but it didn't become a cultural phenomenon until 2020, when everyone stuck indoors decided that the best way to bond was to scream at each other about suspicious tasks. Streamers turned it into must-watch content, and millions of players spent their days trying to figure out who was the impostor while also forgetting how to scan in MedBay. The game got so popular that Innersloth, the developer, initially considered a sequel. Hold your horses though, because they later dropped that plan and focused on making the original game better. That decision gave us the glorious Airship map, various updates, and enough hats to make any crewmate look like a tiny fashion icon.
So when a tweet from "DXDisneyXD" started going around claiming that an Among Us TV show would air on Disney XD in October, I understood why people lost their minds. The tweet had been retweeted over 10,000 times, and honestly, that number alone made it look legit. The account name even had "Disney" in it. My brain, eager for content, ignored the alarm bells. I could already imagine the dramatic reality-style confessionals: "I saw Red enter Reactor. Red is sus." And honestly, I would watch twelve seasons of that.
But here's where the impostor got ejected. That tweet was not from Disney XD. It came from a parody account, and it had zero connection to the actual channel. The official Twitter handle is @DisneyXD, not @DXDisneyXD. A fake account with a slightly tweaked name is basically the social media equivalent of a crewmate wearing a paper plate and claiming to be the host. It worked on me for a second, and it worked on a lot of other people too.
Why does this rumor keep coming back? Well, Among Us is a perfect fit for an animated series in theory. You have colorful characters, built-in suspense, betrayals, and enough "who done it" energy to fuel a kid-friendly mystery show. Disney XD, or any network for that matter, would probably have a field day with the concept. But "perfect in theory" is not the same as "officially announced," and that gap is where parody accounts like to hide.
Let's do a quick emergency meeting about red flags:
-
🚩 The handle looked off. Always check the spelling, friends. A missing letter or an extra letter is basically a sabotage.
-
🚩 No official press release from Innersloth or Disney. If a big show were coming, we'd hear it from more than one random tweet.
-
🚩 The timing was too convenient. A surprise October premiere with no trailer, casting, or marketing? That is a phantom task if I've ever seen one.
-
🚩 The source was a parody account. The internet is full of them, and they are not your friends.
That last point deserves a moment. Parody accounts can be funny, but when they present fake news as real announcements, they become the actual impostors. I don't mind a good joke about crewmates getting a cartoon show, but let's not let a fake tweet send the entire fanbase into a frenzy. If Disney XD or anyone else ever does make an Among Us TV show, you can bet I will be first in line with popcorn and a "vote Red" sign. But until then, keep your expectations in the dropship.
As of 2026, there is still no official Among Us TV show from Disney XD. The game itself remains a beloved party staple, and Innersloth continues to support it with updates and weird little hats that I absolutely do not need but will absolutely buy. The Airship map is no longer the new kid on the block, but it still gives me that "which way is this task again?" panic every single time.
So what did we learn today? Don't believe every tweet you see, even if it has a blue checkmark? Actually, that one didn't have a checkmark. It just had confidence. And confidence can make anything look real. If you see an Among Us TV show announcement floating around, do what any good crewmate would do: check the source, verify the handle, and don't press the emergency button until you have actual evidence. Otherwise, you'll end up like me, explaining to your group chat that you got tricked by a fake Disney XD account while your friends type "self-report" over and over.
At the end of the day, I'm still holding out hope. A real Among Us TV show would be chaotic, hilarious, and probably more dramatic than any reality show on the air. But it has to come from the real deal. So for now, I'll keep playing the game, keep accusing my friends with zero proof, and keep my eyes peeled for any official announcement. And if a tweet from "DisneyXD_Official_TotallyReal" shows up, I will know better. Probably. Let's not test that.
