Sonic spinoff show is coming later this month, and the pressure is building

Knuckles, Paramount Plus' episodic spinoff of the Sonic movies, slips under the radar. Between Fallout commanding all videogames-can-actually-make-for-good-TV discourse and the news that Keanu Reeves will be voicing Shadow in the third Sonic movie coming out in December, it would be easy for even the most dedicated Sega buff to forget that an entire six-episode series starring the Master Emerald Guardian is being released next week.

One person who hasn't forgotten: Knuckles, who may be feeling the pressure if his vibe on the echidna-red premiere carpet is any indication.

Knuckles arrived at the Knuckles premiere in London with the glow of a newly minted star. While he was the breakout hit of 2022's Sonic the Hedgehog 2, the spinoff puts his name right in the title and solidifies him as a key player in all future iterations of the franchise. Everyone wanted a piece of Knuckles at the Tuesday night premiere.
