The 24-episode animated adventure for kids, families, and long-time fans draws upon the keystones of the brand and features the Blue Blur of video game fame in a high-octane adventure where the fate of a strange new multiverse rests in his gloved hands.

Sonic Prime. The series is in development at Netflix, Sega of America, WildBrain, and Man of Action Entertainment to land in 2022 and will consist of 24 episodes. The series will target “kids, families, and long-time fans,” and the only nugget pertaining to the story is that Sonic is going on a “journey of self-discovery and redemption,” in addition to being in a “race to save the universe.” So, it sounds like Sonic is going to screw up and then un-screw up in
