Netflix’s relentless onslaught of video game adaptions continues with the announcement – apparently somewhat premature, given it’s later deletion – that it’s working on a new 3D animated adaptation of Sega’s beloved Sonic the Hedgehog.
That news originally surfaced in an announcement posted to the official NXOnNetflix Twitter account. While accompanying details were scarce, Netflix did note the new Sonic series will be a collaboration between Sega, media and production company WildBrain (which makes the Carmen Sandiego series for Netflix), and Man of Action Entertainment – the “creative studio and writers collective” behind the likes of Ben 10 and The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
Hopefully we’ll get more news on Netflix’s Sonic project – which is due to arrive in 2022 – some time in the not-too-distant future. A certain Video Game Award show, scheduled for tonight, might, for instance, be an excellent place to hold an proper, official reveal.
