The Sonic The Hedgehog franchise has expanded. Paramount+’s highly anticipated TV series Knuckles has been unleashed in its entirety, and it enjoyed quite the debut after the series was viewed for more than 4 million hours in its first few days. To help celebrate the unstoppable force that is Knuckles and Wade Whipple, Paramount have shared some exclusive stills from the very first episode “The Warrior“.
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.
