The project has a premiere date, almost two years after Netflix tweeted (and then removed) about an animated Sonic the Hedgehog series coming to the streaming site. Sonic Prime Season One will be available on the platform on December 15th. The first season will consist of 24 episodes.
In addition to the premiere date, Netflix released character posters for Sonic, Amy Rose, Shadow, Knuckles, Rouge, Big the Cat, and, of course, Eggman. The program will be featured again on the weekly Geeked: Toon-In show, which will air today at 8 p.m. ET on the company’s Twitch channel. The latest teaser will most likely be released shortly on Netflix’s YouTube channel and elsewhere.
The Sonic series has seen a comeback in recent years, owing to two well-received and lucrative films. Sega offered a good remastered collection of four classic Sonic games back in June. Sonic Frontiers, an open-world 3D platformer that will be released on November 8th, is on the way.
