Ahead of the Super Bowl on Sunday, Paramount Pictures debuted the first trailer for the upcoming “Knuckles” series, which expands the universe of the “Sonic the Hedgehog” films. Hailing from the same filmmaking team as the movies, “Knuckles” is a six-episode series that follows Knuckles (Idris 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.
Timeline-wise, the Paramount+ show takes place between the events of 2022’s “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” and the upcoming “Sonic the Hedgehog 3,” so it serves as a bridge to the new film.
