This April, the "Sonic the Hedgehog" universe is going to blow up in a really big way, with SEGA of America & Paramount+'s six-episode Idris Elba-starring Knuckles set to hit screens. Set between the second and third "Sonic" films, the new live-action event series follows Knuckles (Elba) on a hilarious and action-packed journey of self-discovery as he agrees to train Wade (Adam Pally) as his protégé and teach him the ways of the Echidna warrior. Along with today's release of the official trailer and preview images, fans can look forward to a special spot during this weekend's NFL Super Bowl LVIII pregame broadcast on CBS (as well as in Nickelodeon's special kids & family broadcast of the big game, where Knuckles and some friends will make a surprise appearance).
