The recently released Sonic Prime series was warmly received by both fans and critics. The fandom is counting on new episodes, and there are rumors that it could happen later this year.
Blue Sonic the Hedgehog fans got some good news from Netflix this week. The well-known streaming platform recently confirmed the information that the Sonic Prime series will see new content later this year. This is no doubt good news for fans, but it’s worth noting that Netflix wasn’t strictly referring to the show’s second season, so it’s not entirely clear what ‘more’ Sonic Prime means .
The information was provided in a tweet from the official Sonic the Hedgehog profile . This account is not affiliated with Netflix in any way other than the Sonic Prime promotion . The photo shared shows Sonic and Shadow, and above them is a brief teaser of what’s to come in the coming months.
The most likely ‘new’, of course, seems to be season 2. On the other hand, Netflix has not mentioned anything about new episodes. However, the content of the tweet below indicates that everything that was planned for Sonic Prime will come later this year. Given that the series only debuted in December 2022, the premiere of the second season would come surprisingly quickly. This raises some doubts whether such a high production rate of the series is even possible.
The vast majority of Sonic Prime reviews were positive , and almost all fans share the same opinion, with everyone definitely counting on the second season. Critics also looked favorably on Prime , where the series received a 60% score on Rotten Tomatoes . As usual, the public score is much, much higher at 88%.
Whatever Netflix has planned for Sonic Prime , it’s likely just a snippet of what’s in store for the Sonic the Hedgehog brand this year. Sonic Frontiers producer Takashi Iizuka mentioned a few months ago that Sega and the Sonic team will have something new for gamers in 2023 .
