The first trailer for the Sonic spinoff series focusing on Knuckles<\/a> that no one asked for is here, and it actually looks kind of cute and badass.<\/p>\n

What if Knuckles (voiced by the mighty Idris Elba<\/a>) was Sonic’s housemate? What if Knuckles also had a dumb human friend he wanted to train as an Echidna warrior? If those questions sound enticing to you, you’re in luck. The Knuckles series looks exactly as silly and outdated-ish as the two (very successful<\/a>) Sonic the Hedgehog flicks that Paramount has put out so far, but maybe that’s what we need right now.<\/p>\n

The first-ever trailer<\/a> for the Paramount+<\/a> series is actually quite generous, and introduces us to Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles’ post-Sonic 2 day-to-day, meaning this spinoff show will most likely tie directly into the third movie, which comes out this Christmas and will break the Internet with live-action Shadow<\/a> and probably<\/em> also the child who gets shot<\/a> and sends Shadow on a warpath.<\/p>\n
