‘Sonic Prime’ Netflix Series: Everything We Know So Far

Gotta go fast! The iconic blue Sonic the Hedgehog is making its way to Netflix in 2022, with the release of season 1 of Sonic Prime reportedly heading to the service in mid-December 2022. Here’s everything we know about Sonic Prime on Netflix.

Sonic Prime is an upcoming Netflix Original animated series written by Justin Peniston, Duncan Rouleau, and Omar Spahi.

Wildbrain is the main studio behind the show, with WildBrain’s Vancouver studio primarily behind the project. SEGA and Man Of Action Entertainment are also working on the series.

When is the Sonic Prime Netflix date?

Netflix has yet to confirm an official release date for Sonic Prime beyond a general “winter 2022” release window.

Sega America simply lists the series release by saying, “Sonic Prime is coming to Netflix Holiday 2022!”.

According to multiple reports, the series is eying a December 2022 release. One report from the Sonic fansite, The Tails Channel, suggests that documents point to a mid-December 2022 release date.

Their report states: “Two documents obtained by Tails’ Channel in early September described an upcoming promotion from SEGA to advertise Prime for a release window around the middle of December 2022.”

What is the plot of Sonic Prime?

The fate of the multiverse rests in the gloved hands of Sonic the Hedgehog.

The official logline for Sonic Prime is as follows: “It’s the Sonic you know and love until an incredible twist thrusts Sonic into a new adventure featuring a reinvented cast and Sonic like you’ve never seen him before, where the fate of the multiverse rests in his gloved hands. Sonic’s adventure is about more than a race to save the universe from the evil machinations of his longtime nemesis Dr. Eggman and his army of badnik robots, it’s a race to save his friends, friends that he took for granted.”

WildBrain has also provided an updated synopsis: “Sonic the Hedgehog goes into overdrive when a run-in with Dr. Eggman results in a literal universe-shattering event. Desperate to piece his prime reality back together and save his old friends, Sonic races through the Shatterverse, discovering strange worlds and enlisting new friends in an epic adventure of a lifetime!”

Who are the cast members of Sonic Prime?

Taking on the role of the spiky-haired blue hedgehog is Deven Christian Mack, who has many voice roles under his resume such as King Vangelis in LEGO: Ninjago, Chuck in Angry Birds: Summer Madness, and Wynton Styles in Bakugan: Battle Planet.

The remaining cast members have been revealed, but it’s unclear which roles they will be portraying.

Brian Drummond previously provided the voice of Knuckles in Sonic Underground, so the actor is likely returning to reprise the role.

Below is the cast list of Sonic Prime:

  • Deven Christian Mack as Sonic
  • Brian Drummond as Knuckles (TBA)
  • Shannon Chan-Kent as TBA
  • Ashleigh Bell as TBA
  • Vincent Tong as TBA
  • Kazumi Evans as TBA
  • Ian Hanlin as TBA
  • Adam Nurada as TBA

What is the episode count?

It was been confirmed that there will be a total of 24 episodes. The runtime of each episode is approximately 30 minutes. It’s unlikely that Netflix will release all episodes at once and spread them into several volumes, parts or seasons.

The show has a TV-Y7 rating.

Finally, WildBrain announced they’d release a selection of Sonic Prime merchandise products in early 2023, teaming up with PMI as the product partner.

List Of Canceled Netflix Original Series In 2023

List of all the shows Netflix has canceled in 2023.

Published

on

2023 has kicked off with a couple of big cancelations, which signals a potentially rough year coming up, which many other players throughout Hollywood will share. Here’s a look at the 2023 cancelations!

1899

The big-budget series from the creators of DARK had big expectations and big shoes to fill.

The mystery sci-fi show was one of Netflix’s most ambitious shows in years, using state-of-the-art technology and featuring an impressive ensemble cast.

Why was 1899 canceled?

Data provided to What’s on Netflix from European SVOD analytics company Digital i suggests that the completion rate was ultimately too low and likely wasn’t growing substantially. Their data suggests only around a third of people who started the show went onto finish the title.

Inside Job

The animated series Inside Job had been initially given a season 2 renewal order back in June 2022. Still, in January 2023, the creator confirmed rumors that Netflix had reversed the decision to renew.

In a statement on Twitter, the show’s creator Shion Takeuchi said:

I’m heartbroken to confirm that Netflix has decided to cancel season 2 of Inside Job. Over the years, these characters have become real people to me, and I am devastated not to be able to watch them grow up. Reagan and Brett deserved to get their ending and finally find happiness. And I would have loved to been able to share what was in store with you all.

He added, “To everyone who watched, thank you for coming along on the ride. Even though I’m sad, it helps to know that there’s people out there who cared just as much about these characters as me.”

Netflix Movie Lou Cast: Who Stars in the Netflix Thriller?

Allison Janney and Jurnee Smollett are the main attraction of the Netflix movie Lou as the two leading ladies. Janney plays a John Wick-esque character (complete with a beloved dog, but don’t worry, Jax makes it out alive!) while Smollett plays her neighbor, Hannah.

Lou is a hardened recluse living on the fringes of their secluded island, while Hannah is a single mother struggling to make ends meet to take care of her daughter, Vee.

A horrible storm hits the island, and someone kidnaps Hannah’s daughter in the midst of it, forcing her to turn to Lou for help. While searching for Vee, the two women are forced to confront some of the dark secrets from their past.

Even though Smollett and Janney are the stars, Lou has a great cast of actors that also includes Logan Marshall-Green and Greyston Holt (remember him as one of the hot werewolves from Bitten?).

Netflix movie Lou cast list

For those unfamiliar with Allison Janney, the powerhouse actress is a Hollywood staple. Throughout her many decades in the business, Janney has won countless accolades, including seven Primetime Emmy Awards, an Academy Award, and a Golden Globe Award. She has also secured two Tony nominations.

Janney first rose to prominence playing C.J. Cregg on The West Wing. More recently, she starred as Bonnie Plunkett for nine seasons in the CBS sitcom Mom. Janney won her Oscar for I, Tonya, and has also appeared in projects like Masters of Sex, The Help, Juno, and many others. Next, she’ll star in the comedy miniseries Mrs. American Pie, the comedy film The People We Hate at the Wedding, and the sci-fi drama True Love.

Jurnee Smollett has been acting since she was a kid, with recurring roles in shows like Full House and On Our Own. But most people probably know her as Jess Merriweather in Friday Night Lights. The last few years have really helped cement Smollet’s status as a superstar. She played Dinah Lance/Black Canary in Birds of Prey and is reportedly going to reprise her role in a spinoff standalone movie at HBO Max.

Smollett also delivered an incredible performance in the short-lived but acclaimed HBO series Lovecraft Country and she recently starred opposite Miles Teller and Chris Hemsworth in the Netflix thriller Spiderhead. Next, she’ll star in the courtroom drama film The Burial with Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones.

Completing the cast trifecta is Logan Marshall-Green, who plays the film’s primary antagonist, Philip. You might recall Marshall-Green playing Trey Atwood in The O.C. He also recently completed a stint on the ABC series Big Sky.

Here’s the complete cast list for the Netflix movie:

  • Allison Janney as Lou
  • Jurnee Smollett as Hannah
  • Logan Marshall-Green as Philip
  • Ridley Asha Bateman as Vee
  • Matt Craven as Sheriff Rankin
  • Greyston Holt as Chris
  • Daniel Bernhardt as Tony
  • RJ Fetherstonhaugh as Gerry
  • Andres Collantes as Deputy Torres
  • Marci T. House as Agent Lee
  • Toby Levins as Agent Hampton

Netflix movie Lou starts streaming on Friday, September 23.
