Sonic Prime: Check Out Season 1 Ep. 1 "Shattered" on YouTube For Free

As you read this, Sonic the Hedgehog is in the run of his life. What's at stake? The very fate of the universe as we know it. That's how things stand with Netflix & Sega's animated series Sonic Prime, currently streaming. When a run-in with Dr. Eggman results in a literal universe-shattering event, Sonic finds himself desperate to piece his prime reality back together and save his old friends. To that end, Sonic races through the Shatterverse, discovering strange worlds and enlisting new friends in an epic adventure of a lifetime. Now, personally? We think that alone is more than enough reason to check it out, but if you need more convincing? Well, the fine folks over at the streamer & video game company were kind enough to release the series-opener "Shattered" for free on YouTube (waiting for you below).

Here's a look at S01E01 "Shattered," followed by a look back at previous previews for Netflix's Sonic Prime:

What We Know About Netflix's Sonic Prime

With Man of Action, Erik Wiese, WildBrain (Josh Scherba Anne Loi, Stephanie Betts, and Logan McPherson), & SEGA (Haruki Satomi Yukio Sugino, Shuji Utsumi, and Toru Nakahara) executive producing, the voice cast for Sonic Prime includes Deven Mack, Ashleigh Ball, Shannon Chan-Kent, Brian Drummond, Vincent Tong, Ian Hanlin, Kazumi Evans, and Adam Nurada. Here's a look back at the official trailer that was released:

But that's not all because we also have a look back at the first two official teasers, followed by a preview of Big the Cat and Froggy. And if you're really good, there might just be another preview for the 8-episode series waiting for you after that (okay, there is):

It's the Sonic you know & love… until an incredible twist thrusts Sonic into a new adventure featuring a reinvented cast and Sonic like you've never seen him before, where the fate of the multiverse rests in his gloved hands. Sonic's adventure is about more than a race to save the universe from the evil machinations of his longtime nemesis Dr. Eggman and his army of "badnik" robots. It's a race to save his friends, friends that he took for granted.

In a previously-released preview, viewers had a chance to meet Shadow the Hedgehog, the "Ultimate Lifeform" who wields some seriously mysterious powers. And with Shadow comes the age-old question. Is he a friend or foe?

Just to make sure that viewers appreciated just how epic this series was going to be, three additional previews were posted just before the series dropped. In the first, Sonic and Thorn's search for a Prism Shard leads them deep into the jungle… where the lure of a Prism Shard proves too much of a temptation for one of them. Following that, Sonic and Eggman find themselves facing off once again… except this time? Well, let's just say Eggman is suddenly looking good for his age. And then, we get that moment when Sonic realizes that this Tails isn't his Tails:
