\"\"<\/p>\n

To say that Sonic the Hedgehog 2 <\/em>was successful would be an understatement. The highest-grossing video game film in U.S. history<\/a> already had a confirmed threequel in the works, but today we found out exactly when we’ll see Sonic and friends return to the big screen, and it\u2019ll be chillier than usual.<\/p>\n

The official movie Twitter account announced<\/a> the unofficially titled Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will premiere in theaters on December 20, 2024. This marks a big seasonal shift for the franchise as Sonic 1 and 2 arrived during the first halves of their respective years, with the first movie premiering on Valentine’s Day and the second arriving in April. <\/p>\n

The tweet doesn\u2019t reveal anything else about the film, but if you\u2019ve seen the post-credits scene for Sonic 2<\/em>, you already have a good inkling of where the series is headed. <\/p>\n

December 2024 is a long way off, but Paramount plans to fill the gap with a live-action series starring Idris Elba\u2019s Knuckles<\/a> hitting Paramount+ next year. There\u2019s also Sonic Prime<\/a><\/em>, Netflix\u2019s animated series that, while disconnected from the film universe, provides another avenue to enjoy the Blue Blur on the small screen. With the next big video game, Sonic Frontiers<\/a>, slated to launch this fall, the next few years look pretty bright for Sega’s mascot. <\/p>\n
