Sonic Prime returns to Netflix with new episodes on July 13th 2023. Co-producers Wildbrain previously announced that the show will run for 24 episodes and currently only 8 have aired, debuting back in December 2022. Netflix have not revealed how many episodes will drop on July 13th, but I think it’s safe to assume it will be another 8.
