Sonic Prime (2022)

Announced by Netflix, but they've since removed the tweet, likely way too early.

By the creators involved with both Ben 10 and the recent Mega Man cartoon.

So quality is basically a coin toss at this point.

Man of Action lost it after the original Ben 10.

(Seems like Netflix might've posted that news a little too soon.)

SatAM Season 3 finally?

No?

Goodbye.

To be fair, the people who make Sonic adaptations shouldn't feel obligated to continue SatAM.

Exactly, they should instead feel obliged to continue Sonic Boom.

Not sure if that was a joke or not but man, I’d honestly rather have Sonic Boom back. Criminally under appreciated show hit by a rushed and badly planned video game.

Half joking suggesting, half an actual hope. Boom was firing on all cylinders when it ended, and managed to be both funny and with some enjoyable characterizations for much of the cast.

Netflix, SEGA of America, Inc. (“SEGA”), and WildBrain announce a new animated Sonic the Hedgehog series, Sonic Prime, set to premiere worldwide in 2022.

The 24-episode animated adventure for kids, families, and long-time fans draws upon the keystones of the brand and features the “Blue Blur” of video game fame in a high-octane adventure where the fate of a strange new multiverse rests in his gloved hands. Sonic’s adventure is about more than a race to save the universe, it’s a journey of self-discovery and redemption.
The series will be animated at WildBrain’s Vancouver studio, and SEGA and WildBrain will jointly participate across production, distribution and licensing. Man of Action Entertainment, creators of Ben 10 and the characters and team in the Academy Award-winning feature Big Hero 6, have been brought on as showrunners and Executive Producers for the series.

Dominique Bazay, Director of Original Animation, Netflix: “Sonic is a beloved character and holds a special place in everyone’s heart including my own. I spent many hours with the blue blur as a kid and it’s a privilege to be able to bring this character everyone knows and loves on a brand new adventure with Netflix — one that a generation of loyal fans and brand new fans around the world can enjoy.”

Ivo Gerscovich, Chief Brand Officer at SEGA: “Sonic the Hedgehog is a global entertainment icon that has captivated audiences since its video game debut in 1991. With over 1.14 billion game units sold and downloaded to date, an exciting feature film, a robust licensing program and more, SEGA’s iconic hedgehog continues to surprise and delight audiences worldwide. We’re thrilled to partner with WildBrain, Man of Action Entertainment and Netflix to speed into this new, animated chapter in the Sonic franchise.”

Josh Scherba, President, WildBrain: “With generations of devoted fans around the world, Sonic the Hedgehog is more popular today than ever before, and we’re thrilled to be partnering with Netflix, SEGA and Man of Action to deliver all new Sonic adventures for audiences worldwide. This premium franchise is ideally suited to WildBrain’s capabilities and it’s already inspiring great things from our talented creative teams. We’ve witnessed first-hand the enduring popularity of this brand from the strong and steady global demand for our library of legacy Sonic series. We look forward now to bringing fresh and exciting Sonic content to fans both new and old.”

Building on the momentum generated for Sonic in 2020 – and as the brand celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2021 – Sonic Prime aims to captivate the imaginations of audiences ages six to 11, as well as legacy Sonic fans of all ages, and will match the scale and scope of the epic adventures synonymous with the Sonic franchise. In 2020, the theatrical feature Sonic the Hedgehog, took the number one spot worldwide on opening weekend and remained on top globally for weeks while breaking domestic box office records. Producers SEGA Sammy and Paramount Pictures have announced a sequel to the feature is in development.

So if the show deals with the multiverse, what's the over and under on something being done with "Adventures", "Satam" and "Underground"?

That description of “redemption” makes it sound like we may get something with more dramatic weight than Boom or Adventures, at least (as much as I enjoy both). Not that they can’t do silly stuff, but I am kinda looking forward to more epic Sonic plots.

Can this be Sonic traveling the SEGA Multiverse? Just have him pop into Streets of Rage, Ristar, Yakuza or Anarchy Reigns.

Fanart like this suggests there could be potential money in a SonicVerse-type story, if ever legally feasible.
