"Speed is Sonic the Hedgehog’s greatest strength, and it’s also a critical key to success in the entertainment industry. So following the surprising success of 2020’s "Sonic the Hedgehog" film, Sega is keeping the momentum going with the announcement of a brand-new CG Sonic animated series.
Titled "Sonic Prime," it’ll be hosted on Netflix, which is co-producing the series. Handling animation will be Vancouver’s WildBrain Studios, whose previous 3DCG works include "Ninjago," "Mega Man: Fully Charged" and "Blaze and the Monster Machines." Also involved is U.S.-based writer collective Man of Action Entertainment, serving as showrunners and executive producers, and who were also creative partners on "Mega Man: Fully Charged" as well as the "Bakugan: Battle Planet and Big Hero 6" TV series.
