Paramount Plus has dropped the first full-length trailer for the upcoming Knuckles TV series, a spin-off of the highly-successful recent Sonic the Hedgehog live action films and set between the events of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and this December’s Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
The series officially kicked off production in London early last year with a cast that includes Idris Elba reprising his role as Knuckles, Adam Pally as Wade Whipple, Tika Sumpter as Maddie Wachowski alongside some new cast including Edi Patterson (The Righteous Gemstones), Julian Barratt (Mindhorn), Ellie Taylor (Ted Lasso), Rory McCann (Game of Thrones), Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride, Saw), Stockard Channing (Grease, Practical Magic), Paul Scheer (The League, Big Mouth) Rob Huebel (The Goldbergs, Big Mouth), Kid Cudi and Christopher Lloyd himself.
The show will see Knuckles train Wade as his protégé and teach him the ways of the Echidna warrior, and from the looks of the trailer it’ll have the same blend of light comedy and high-octane action as the feature films.
Paramount Plus has also brought a lot of the key creative team from the films over to the series, and has also announced some of the addition episode directors set to contribute including Carol Banker, Brandon Trost and The Lonely Island’s Jorma Taccone.
Knuckles is streaming on Paramount+ starting April 27th, and you can check out the new trailer below:
