With the cancellation of Sonic Boom, Sonic the Hedgehog was prime for a quick return after the success of the Sonic movies and Netflix has answered the call. Sonic Prime is the latest series and is co-produced by Sega, Netflix Animation, WildBrain, and Man of Action Entertainment.
In Sonic Prime, we see the blue blur and crew needing to travel across the multiverse. Fans might remember a mystery tweet that was accidentally posted at the end of 2020, teasing the announcement, but soon deleted. Netflix released the first teaser, which you can see below.
Planned for release in Fall 2022, with 24 episodes in its first season, Sonic Prime brings fan favorites like Big the Cat as well as Sonic clone Shadow the Hedgehog to the series.
