The Sonic the Hedgehog series 'Knuckles' made its debut on Paramount Plus earlier this year and it was generally well-received. If you haven't already watched it or would just like a physical copy, you're in luck. As previously confirmed, a Blu-ray and DVD is on the way and we've now got a bit more information about the release.
It will apparently be arriving later this year in September 2024 according to some updated online listings. Along with all six episodes, we now also know it will come packed with a bunch of special features including: "gag reel, cast featurette, working with Knuckles, This or that? Knuckles impressions".
You can learn more about the Knuckles series in our previous coverage here on Nintendo Life. In brief though, the character goes on a "hilarious journey of self-discovery" after he agrees to teach Wade the ways of the Echidna warrior.
This series will be followed by the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Movie later this year featuring...spoiler... Shadow the Hedgehog. It was also Sonic's 33rd birthday last week and while Sega isn't doing anything major for his celebrations this month, it did host a livestream with some smaller announcements tied to merchandise and more.
On the video game front, Sega also previously announced Sonic X Shadow Generations would be released this October.

This show was ass. Knuckles, the title character, wasn't the actual main character.
Wow this is actually kinda cool 😎, I might have to pick this up if I can cause I thought the show was pretty good 👍.....
Are there Chuckles?
So I despised this show for a variety of reasons, but to the people who liked it: Did you like it because it wasn't following much if any of Sonic lore or themes? Or something else? The positive reception to this series blew my mind as a Sonic fan.
Also, not bashing if you liked it. That's great, enjoying things is better than hating. I am just unable to "get it".
@Elbow I'm pretty sure most people like it as a comedy on it's own, but they do accept that it was a bad "Sonic" show.
But hey, I didn't watch it. And maybe it's best that I didn't since I wanna see Sonic be shonen/seinen, not be a throw away kids show.
Starts out decent, has some genuine great moments like the musical, but quickly detoriates in the 2nd half to some of the worst **** I've seen in a long time.
I could feel my IQ dropping during the whole bowling part. It was THAT dumb! >.<
I enjoyed it, though it wasn't what it was portrayed to be. It was a Knuckles TV show that had very little to do with Knuckles. The bad guys had naff all character development, the show also just ended without really any closure, there were many faults. That being said, it was rather humorous in places and it gave Wade a bit more of a personality. I'd give it a 6.5 out of 10. Fun, but flawed. I'd grab a hard copy just to add to the Sonic blu rays on the shelf
I wonder if it's coming also here in Italy although I wouldn't get it anytime soon regardless since the Sonic movies have priority for me also considering the third one is coming soon and unfortunately because of its mixed quality based on what I've heard in this very comment section and elsewhere.
I know it's horses for courses but I've never understood the love for any Sonic games...well apart from Sonic Adventure which I had for my Japanese Dreamcast import machine.
@hypnotoad I'm the opposite to be honest. As a gamer from the 90's I don't understand the love for Sonic Adventure. Compared to Mario's first 3D outing, SA plays absolutely dreadful. For me personally, the only Sonic games that matter are Sonic 1 (MD/Genesis) through to Sonic 3K (but absolutely not Sonic CD). These I can play over and over, time and time again. They are the classics for a reason. I even find Sonic Mania overrated.
@Tipehtfomottob I'm a gamer from the '70's and I agree Sonic 3D was nothing compared to SM 64 but saying that, IMHO, Sonic 1, 2, 3 and whatever were nothing compared to SMW that still stand up to this day.
@Elbow I loved the show for one simple reason. I have a rather stupid sense of humor. I love movies like spiderman 3 and revenge of the sith for the same reason. Things that have really dumb comedy work for me. Also, flames of disaster was the most wonderful TV episode I've ever seen. And I'm a pretty big sonic fan, but here's the thing with the Lack of source material accuracy. I prefer when adaptations do their own thing, instead of just copying what it's based on. So yeah, there you go. I mainly like it cause I'm stupid lol.
The best thing to come out of this series was Lonely Island teaming up with Michael Bolton again for something equally ridiculous to singing about Captain Jack Sparrow.
This show is honestly iconic, just not in the ways I thought it’d be.
Cool that Ellie Taylor’s in it but man, I refuse to watch anything that uses AI.
@nessisonett Ellie Taylor the comedian? So that's what she's been up to — Haven't seen her on TV for a while...
@Andee Yeah, it’s such a strange role for her to take but I’m glad if she gets more exposure. And I’ve been enjoying her as host of Bake Off the Professionals!
Terrible.
Take a lap.
