澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sonic the Hedgehog is going up a gear. According to one of the franchise's executive producers, the movies are heading toward "Avengers-l🐼evel events," while TV shows, like the upcoming Knuckles, will be used as "char๊acter studies".

"We got really excited about the idea 🐼of expanding our characters in our world into television, specifically, because it gives us a platform to really do character studies," executive producer Toby Ascher told . 

"We kn🌼ew that, with Shadow coming into Sonic 3 and some of the bigger things that we want to do, the Sonic franchise on the movie side is going to be these Avengers-level events. They’re going to be these big, exciting stories that have a lot of different characters. And so what television did for us is it gave us time to go into some of the more supporting characters in depth and really build them out in cool ways."

Knuckles, which sees Idris Elba return to voice the titular echidna, will consist of six episodes and is coming to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Paramount Plus on April 26. The show will take place between the second and𝄹 third Sonic movies as Knuckles𒁃 trains Deputy Sheriff Wade Whipple (Adam Pally) in the ways of the echidna warrior.
