Netflix and SEGA working on a Sonic series coming next year

Matthew Wilson February 1, 2021 Software & Gaming

It has been rumoured for quite some time now that Netflix will be working with SEGA on a new TV adaptation for Sonic the Hedgehog. Now, those plans are official, with Netflix announcing Sonic Prime, a new series coming in 2022. 

Sonic Prime will be coming to Netflix in 2022. Unlike the recent film, this will be an animated take on Sonic, rather than live-action.

So far, 24 episodes have been ordered, with WildBrain Vancouver handling production and the team at Man of Action Entertainment taking on the role of showrunner.

There is no word on story details at this point in time, but we do know that Sonic Prime is unlikely to feature Roger Craig Smith. Smith announced this week that he will no longer be the voice actor for Sonic moving forward.

KitGuru Says: There have been plenty of Sonic cartoons over the years, so it'll be interesting to see what this one does differently.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
