The Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie isn’t even out yet, but Paramount Pictures are obviously very happy with the performance of the first Sonic movie because they’ve just revealed that a 3rd Sonic movie is now in development alongside a Knuckles spin-off TV series that will air in 2023 on Paramount Plus. Idris Elba is also set to return to voice our favourite echidna in this upcoming TV series.
The first Sonic the Hedgehog movie was a huge success for Paramount, grossing $319.7 million against a budget of $90 million. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 releases on April 8th 2022 and sees the return of Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, Ben Schwartz as Sonic the Hedgehog and introduces Idris Elba as Knuckles the Echidna and Colleen O’Shaughnessey as Miles “Tails” Prower. Jeff Fowler returns to direct.
