Sonic the Hedgehog’s new Netflix series Sonic Prime premieres Dec. 15

A new Sonic the Hedgehog animated series is heading to Netflix — and to a multiverse of new worlds called the Shatterverse — this December. Sonic Prime delivers “the Sonic you know and love,” Netflix says, but with a multi-dimensional twist. Due to the evil meddling of Dr. Eggman Tails and Knuckles are here. Shadow, Shadow, Rouge, the Bat, Big the Cat, Shadow, Amy Rose, Shadow and Big the Cat all have their own characters. Sonic Prime is taking Sega’s sassy hedgehog to some dark places — including one universe where longtime gal pal Amy is more machine than hedgehog and cheery sidekick Tails skulks around like a mechanized spider.

This premise is the result of a “universe-shattering event” brought on by Eggman, naturally, which tosses Sonic into an alternate dimension. The fate of the universes and those of his friends are in Sonic’s hands, and he teams up with a group of “rebels” to take the powerful Eggman down, as seen in the series’ second teaser trailer.
