Netflix announced on Monday (1) an animated series derived from the famous Sonic the Hedgehog game franchise called Sonic Prime.
Previously, at the end of last year, streaming published, on its Twitter account, a post that revealed the arrival of the novelty on the platform. However, the tweet was quickly deleted.
However, the month of February begins with the confirmation of this news by the company, which will produce the series in partnership with SEGA, the Japanese developer responsible for the Sonic Team, as well as for the Sonic games.
The production will be an animated adventure of 24 episodes for children and family, and has the famous blue hedgehog as the protagonist. According to the Netflix announcement, the series is “more than a race to save the universe, but a journey of self-discovery and redemption”.
