SEGA and Paramount, it’s obviously a rolling business! While we await the release of Sonic 2 in cinemas on April 6 in France, a third episode has already been announced. It was Paramount who split a thread on Twitter to reveal the good news, indicating at the same time that a series centered on the character of Kuckles is also on the way and which will land on Paramount +. For the time being, the SVOD platform is not available in France, but it will be available soon through Canal+, which is negotiating contracts hard so as not to disappear from the landscape. If the Knuckles series is not expected before 2023, we remind you that it will highlight the vocal performances of actor Idris Elba, since it is he who lends his voice to Knuckles in English. On the strength of this partnership, the CEO of SEGA, Haruki Satomi, also split a message relayed on the social networks of the Japanese firm, undoubtedly delighted that the first Sonic film brought in more than 300 million dollars in box office, just before the COVID pandemic came to hit the whole world.
