This week we went on an epic quest to become the ultimate Echidna warrior. Equipped with grapes, doritos and a can-do attitude, we embarked on quest for ultimate power. To celebrate the upcoming release of KNUCKLES, which will be arriving on Paramount+ on April 27th in the UK, we had the absolute pleasure of talking to Wade Whipple himself, Adam Pally. The eccentric police officer has been part of the Sonic franchise since the very first move, but he is now the star of his very own show. We sat down with Adam and talked about his journey as Wade and his surprising partnership with Knuckles The Echidna.
The new live-action event series follows Knuckles (Idris Elba) on a hilarious and action-packed journey of self-discovery as he agrees to train Wade (Adam Pally) as his protégé and teach him the ways of the Echidna warrior. The series takes place between the films SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 and SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3.
Check out the full interview below:
The series stars Idris Elba, Adam Pally, Stockard Channing (The West Wing), Edi Patterson (The Righteous Gemstones), Scott Mescudi (Don’t Look Up), Ellie Taylor (Ted Lasso), Julian Barratt (Mindhorn), Rory McCann (Game of Thrones), Cary Elwes (Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning), Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), Paul Scheer (Black Monday), and Rob Huebel (Childrens Hospital).
All six episodes of Knuckles will be available to stream on Saturday, April 27th, exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.K. and Ireland
