What is Sonic Prime Season 1 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. We have extensive coverage of Sonic Prime across the site, including a full season review. You can find that HERE!
Has Sonic Prime been renewed for season 2?
At the time of writing, Sonic Prime has not been renewed for a second season. Given the nature of the show’s content, that will almost certainly change if it does good numbers for Netflix. Generally Netflix 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 & Irregulars) Other times, it can take months before Netflix make a decision over a show’s future. So far, Sonic Prime has had a pretty good reaction from audiences and critics alike, with most commenting on the great tone and the lovable characters. Sonic Prime is supposedly due to have 24 episodes but only 8 of them are actually on Netflix. The end of episode 8 literally ends right in the middle of a conflict, and there’s no mention on Netflix’s UI that this is part 1. If a recent interview with the guys over at Whats-On-Netflix is anything to go by, we could see more episodes on the way sooner rather than later. The whole interview can be found here. Given the nature of the ending, and that revealing interview above, we’re going out on a limb and predicting that this will be renewed for a second season. We’ll be sure to update this section with accurate details over the coming weeks and months when we know more!
What we know about season 2 so far:
Barely anything is known about season 2 at this point, other than the fact more episodes are on the way and the season is supposed to run for a total of 24 episodes. We could well see more episodes in a few months’ time, potentially around February/March time. Of course, all of this is dependent on how the viewing figures are for Netflix, so we may have to wait and see. As mentioned above, we predict that this will be renewed but we could be completely wrong! We’ll be sure to update this page in the future when more information is known though!
