Renewed Or Cancelled?
Sonic Prime is the latest animated adventure to feature our blue hedgehog, who zooms his way through another 8 episodes of multiversal action. After finishing the entire season, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here’s what we know:
What is Sonic Prime about?
The story itself is serviceable enough, with a longer opening episode that works to set the scene for the following 20 minute chapters to ease into. Essentially, Dr Robotnik has uncovered the Paradox Prism, which sends Sonic through to a parallels world where Robotnik has taken over, turning Green Hill into a concrete nightmare.
Desperate to save the universe and right the wrongs caused in his own world, Sonic enlists the help of several resistance fighters in New Yoke City (the parallel world), and unwittingly finds himself flung into several other worlds as a consequence.
Has Sonic Prime been renewed for season 3?
Netflix did renew Sonic Prime for a third season. You can read our review here.
Originally, the creators confirmed this season would have 24 episodes in total, each split into 8 episode seasons. At the time, Netflix gave no indication as to whether this would be the case, but the release of the second season has almost guaranteed that we’ll get seasons 3 and 4 to round things out.
Generally Netflix, like other streaming platforms, gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate. With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly (ala. Squid Game, Bridgerton etc.) Other times, it can take months before Netflix make a decision over a show’s future.
Sonic Prime has had a really good reaction from audiences and critics alike, with the series easy to watch and also armed with a simple but effective hook. It’s certainly far from perfect but it does have some stand-out moments, and fans of Sonic should be absolutely in their element here!
What we know about season 3 so far:
The season is supposed to run for a total of 24 episodes. We could well see more episodes in a few months’ time, but of course all of this is dependent on how the viewing figures are for Netflix. If they’re good, we could see more episodes before the end of the year!
