Sonic the Hedgehog returns to the TV screen — SONIC PRIME is coming to Nickelodeon!
“Beginning on Oct. 4, Nickelodeon will begin airing ‘new’ episodes of the Netflix animated series SONIC PRIME, which originally ran from 2022 to 2024,” ComicBookResources reported. “As noted, while these episodes themselves aren’t brand-new, this is the first time that they’ll air on Nickelodeon.”
NickALive reported that these episodes come to Nickelodeon as part of a “partnership between Paramount and WildBrain [one of SONIC PRIME’s producers] to bring the hit series to the top kids’ entertainment channel.”
SONIC PRIME puts the titular blue hedgehog “in a high-octane adventure where the fate of a strange new multiverse rests in his gloved hands,” per an IMDb description.

Season 2 of SONIC PRIME is also “family-friendly,” with “biblical morality [that] extolls the virtues of friendship and self-sacrifice and characters learn from each other to overcome pride, forgive and work together to oppose evil,” per the Movieguide® review.
“The Sonic the Hedgehog universe has captivated the hearts of millions around the globe,” Layla Lewis, Senior Vice President of Global Acquisitions and Content Partnerships at Nickelodeon, said in a statement. “We are thrilled to partner with WildBrain to bring the series to life on Nickelodeon channels, delivering an action-packed experience that will enthrall audiences around the world.”
Katie Wilson, VP of Global Sales and Acquisitions at WildBrain, added, “SEGA’s Sonic the Hedgehog is one of today’s most popular entertainment brands. SONIC PRIME is a huge hit with fans and a terrific example of how, at WildBrain, we are able to partner with IP owners to drive engagement for brands.”
“With their strong track record of Sonic content across highly popular live-action feature films and their KNUCKLES series, Paramount is the ideal partner to extend SONIC PRIME’s popularity with new audiences around the world on Nickelodeon.”
Ivo Gerscovich, Senior Vice President and Chief Business and Brand Officer of Sonic, Head of SEGA Brands, said, “SONIC PRIME captivated the Sonic community and audiences worldwide when it was released. Making our content as accessible as possible to our dedicated fanbase is something we always strive for and being able to bring SONIC PRIME to more viewers worldwide is the perfect way to make that come to fruition.”
