News culture Sonic is no longer the star of his own saga. The Knuckles series will soon be released on this Netflix competitor

Knuckles, star of the Sonic Cinematic Universe

The Sonic film universe is about to return. After two successful films, Sega reaffirms and continues the development of this universe by offering viewers Knuckles, a miniseries based around the character of the same name. Sonic is still around, but it’s his friend’s story that interests us here.

First announced in February 2022, the six-episode miniseries is intended to tie in between the second and third Sonic The Hedgehog films, which are scheduled to hit theaters at the end of the year. Idris Elba reprises the role of Knuckles. The same goes for Ben Schwartz and Colleen O’Shaughnessey, who play Sonic and Tails respectively and return here as guest stars.

Available in April

In this series, Knuckles is the star of the show and has to face a new villain who wants to get their hands on his powers. The Red Echidna will also be ready to train a clumsy deputy, turning him into a real warrior. The first trailer – available in the player at the top of the article – presents all the ingredients that made the previous two Sonic films successful. So we find a good portion of humor, action and convincing special effects for a mix of real footage and computer-generated images. Finally, the good news is that the series is coming out very quickly and will be available immediately in France when it is released on Paramount+ on April 27th.
