A third Sonic the Hedgehog theatrical film and a live-action Sonic the Hedgehog series for Paramount+ are currently in development, SEGA and Paramount announced.

"We are delighted to announce that the third Sonic theatrical film and the first live-action Sonic series for Paramount+ are being actively developed," SEGA Corporation CEO Haruki Satomi said in a statement. "We've got a remarkable partnership with Paramount, and we are excited to continue expanding the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise with them."

Haruki continued, "2022 is shaping up to be a significant year for the franchise with the second film being released this April, as well as Sonic Frontiers, the highly anticipated video game title, coming this holiday. Sonic has been beloved by fans across the world for over 30 years and we look forward to continuing to bring memorable moments and experiences to them for many years to come."

The live-action series will feature Knuckles, who is set to make his debut in the April 8-due film Sonic the Hedgehog 2, with Idris Elba reprising the role. It will premiere in 2023.

I can't wait for them to get to the more embarrassing characters in the series.

There's also that Sonic multiverse show they're working on that can't reference any of the other continuities, so it's all going to be dumb pop-culture crap.

How long before the furry-play VR game?

In which one does he start kissing human girls?

The 2006th one.

At least the music will be kickass, though.

The first movie was surprisingly decent and was a good intro to the character for non gamers. I'm actually looking forward to the sequel and the introduction of Knuckles, but damn. A third movie greenlighted and a live action series? Aren't they jumping the gun a bit on Sonic's bankability? This could end up like the games with each new entry sucking even more and more until Sonic becomes a joke.
