Sonic Prime, Netflix’s Sonic the Hedgehog show, gets a first look

The first glimpse of Netflix’s animated Sonic the Hedgehog series is now available. And yup, that sure is the blue hedgehog we know and love! Netflix released a sizzle reel featuring some upcoming animated shows and towards the end, you can see Sonic racing to victory. There are also two images of Sonic and an iconic golden ring don’t reveal much, but it’s just enough to make the excitement of Sonic Prime real.

Netflix officially announced Sonic Prime last February, and previously leaked concept art revealed an epic multiverse battle for the beloved blue hedgehog. The multiverse is in the zeitgeist now, with movies from this week’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness to A24’s Everything Everywhere All At Once taking on the possibility of infinite dimensions. Sonic will meet alternate versions of his enemies and allies in the multiverse, which is known as the “Shatterverse”.

Sonic Prime will be available on Netflix in the latter part of this year. The Sonic the Hedgehog sequel can still be seen in theatres.
