The first season of Sonic Prime on Netflix was widely praised by critics and audiences alike as being a great adaptation of the speedy blue hedgehog’s story. Now, the show is back for more.

Netflix has been investing a lot into various video game adaptations lately, with shows planned for Assassin’s Creed and The Witcher.

Sonic Prime season 2 trailers and posters

The first trailer for Sonic Prime has arrived, and in it we see Sonic and Shadow teaming up, Rusty Rose seemingly fighting for the good guys again, and plenty more Shatterverse action:

If you want more, then you can watch the entire first episode on YouTube below. This catches us up on what Shadow has been up to whilst Sonic has been hopping across universes:

Sonic Prime cast and crew – who is returning?

We expect that all the cast from first season will return. That means Deven Mack voicing the lead hedgehog, Sonic, and Ashleigh Ball returning to play his trusty sidekick Tails. Amy is once again played by Shannon Chan-Kent, and Knuckles is voiced by Adam Narada.

Also in the cast is Brian Drummond as Eggman, Vincent Tong as Shadow and Kazumi Evans as Rouge.

None of the actors from the games or movies are appearing in Sonic Prime. Allegedly, this is due to it being a Canadian production, and as such the voice actors hired have been those who live in this country. 

Sonic Prime season 2 plot

Spoilers for season 1 of Sonic Prime ahead

After breaking the boundaries between the Shatterverse, Sonic went travelling across numerous worlds to try and save his friends and return everything to normal by collecting the shards he broke in the first place.

During this time, he went to New Yoke City, a cyberpunk world where Eggman reigned supreme, a jungle world (Boscage Maze) where nature was out of control, and a pirate world.

In this land, Sonic came to a showdown with Rusty Rose – the Cyborg counterpart of the cheery hammer-wielding hedgehog, Amy Rose. Rusty was under the command of the Chaos Council – AKA, multiple versions of Eggman.

Along with his pirate multiverse friends, Sonic managed to subdue Rusty. However, he was absorbed into one of the shards, where he encountered Shadow from the original world. The series ended with Sonic stuck in limbo in the Shatterverse, fighting Shadow.

The first episode (now available on YouTube) confirms that Shadow does not trust Sonic with repairing the universe and would prefer to take matters into his own hands.

We expect that Sonic will return to New Yoke City to face the Chaos Council, and try to turn Rusty Rose over to the good side – though this may be tricky, considering she completely roboticized. We may also learn more about Sonic’s relationships with his friends, as he starts to discover more about himself and the mistakes he’s made that led him into this mess.

Executive producer Logan McPherson told What’s on Netflix the following: “The story continues to build and stretches Sonic to his limits both physically and emotionally, so you can expect a wild ride and a lot of fun to come!!”
