Later this year, Sonic The Hedgehog will return to theaters in his third movie, but before then, Knuckles the Echidna is branching off into his own career with a Paramount+ TV show. All six episodes became available today on the service.
When we first saw the movie version of Knuckles, he had a character arc similar to his introduction in Sonic 3: manipulated by Robotnik into believing Sonic was after his Master Emerald, Knuckles and the ‘hog traded blows a few times until they realized it was actually Eggman who was trying to steal the jewel. They patched things up just in time to stop Eggy’s giant robot from trashing the planet.
After all that was finished, you’d think Knuckles could take it easy, but a new threat has emerged, and it’s specifically targeting him. One of Robotnik’s assistants has hired two people, turned them into cyborgs and sent them after Knuckles to get his power. Meanwhile Wade Whipple is tired of being a joke and wants to train with Knuckles to become a formidable fighter. No better training than against the real thing, right?
Most of the movie’s cast is back for this series. Idris Elba voices Knuckles again, alongside Ben Schwarz as the voice of Sonic, and and Colleen O’Shaughnessey as the voice of Tails. On the human side of things, James Marsden and Tika Sumpter have returned as Tom and Maddie, and Adam Pally is Wade again, alongside Stockard Channing (The West Wing), Edi Patterson (The Righteous Gemstones), Scott Mescudi (Don’t Look Up), Ellie Taylor (Ted Lasso), Julian Barratt (Mindhorn), Rory McCann (Game of Thrones), Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride), Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), Paul Scheer (Black Monday) and Rob Huebel (Childrens Hospital).
You can check out Knuckles on Paramount+ starting today.
