Sonic the Hedgehog has had numerous shows in addition to all his video games, and it seems he's due another. Netflix originally mentioned a new cartoon series starring SEGA's mascot in December before quickly brushing it under the carpet. Now, though, it seems the streaming service is ready to officially unveil the show. Its name is Sonic Prime.
As mentioned in the tweet, this new show will debut sometime next year. According to Game Informer, Sonic Prime will be at least 24 episodes long, and is being aimed at "kids, families, and long-time fans". The show will reportedly span a multi-verse that Sonic will inevitably rescue, but apparently, the character will tackle "self-discovery and redemption". One other wrinkle to this is that Sonic's long-time voice actor Roger Craig Smith just recently left the role, meaning the hedgehog will have a new voice in Prime.
Alrighty then. We've got quite a wait before we find out whether this is any good, but what are your thoughts on Sonic Prime so far? Are you ready to binge the new show in 2022? Grab those rings in the comments section below.

Bring back Jaleel White!
Sonic Prime....and it's on Netflix? Someone needs a rethink on the name.
@sanderson72 And the second season will be called Sonic Prime 2: Corruption to add more confusion.
Meanwhile, Amazon Prime are proud to announce their new show "Mario Netflix"
@Ralizah
Yo, that would be a way to make me watch the whole series (even if it was garbage). Really loved his sonic growing up. Sonic Underground is underrated IMO.
Part of me still wants Netflix to make a horror film based on that Sonic with human teeth and fingers
@batwing47 As a Sat AM Sonic fan in childhood, White's voice will always be synonymous with the character for me.
And, anyway, he still sounded good in that 2013 fan film of Sonic the Hedgehog, so hopefully he'd still be up to the job.
They should have called it Amazon Prime
Sonic adventure designs return, Max Mittleman as Sonic, the current voice cast returning and Sonic and his friends.
Sounding like an action show. Haven't had that since Sonic X. Cool.
WE WILL DEFINITELY BE WATCHING THIS 👌
This is great news, looking forward to watching in 2022!
@ShowUp2ShutDown @Orpheus79V Sounds like a spiritual successor to Sonic X, definitely hyped!
