Stop the presses, that’s Big the Cat
A newteaser trailerwent live today forSonic Prime. The Netflix series follows Sonic and pals in some new adventures, though it looks like they’ll be dealing with some old villains in the process.
We’ve seen afew quick teasersof the upcoming series, but today’s teaser trailer shows a pretty hefty amount ofSonic Prime.
Notably, you can spot a few familiar faces in the teaser. Shadow the Hedgehog, Big the Cat, and of course, Eggman.
It seems like there’s some kind of multi-verse, shattering of reality situation going on here. Whatever plans Eggman and other characters like Shadow are up to, Sonic will have to handle them.
The series is set to premiere this holiday season, and a landing page is liveover on Netflix right nowif you want to set up a reminder.
Year of the blue blur
It’s been quite the year for Sonic, all things considered. The movie franchise side ofSonic the Hedgehoghasdone quite well, and looks to be expanding further. Another movie is planned, which isn’t too surprising given the second film’s stinger, and aKnucklesseries ison the way too.
On the video game side,Sonicfans already got a classic collection inSonic Origins. And there’sSonic Frontierson the way as well, taking the high-speed action into the big open world.
It’s been a big year for fans of the blue hedgehog. And for Netflix,Sonic Primecould set a good tone for video game adaptations moving forward. The company’s had some great success withCastlevania,Arcane, and nowCyberpunk: Edgerunners. At least in terms of animation, the adaptations have been largely solid. WhileSonic Primeis a bit more kid-friendly than those series, it’d be nice to see Sonic getting a solid series among all the adaptations coming out of Netflix.
