Premise

In the series, the fate of a multiverse "rests in Sonic's gloved hands". The show will have themes of self-discovery and redemption, and is aimed at children ages six to eleven years, as well as longtime fans of the series.[2][4][6] It is stated to meet the "scale and scope" of other stories in the franchise.[5]

Production

It was officially announced on February 1, 2021,[7] though the development of the series was initially revealed in a deleted tweet in December 2020.[6] Colleen O'Shaughnessey, known for portraying Miles "Tails" Prower since 2014, responded to a tweet on Twitter that she won't be reprising the role in the Netflix series,[8] whereas in late January 2021, Sega confirmed that Roger Craig Smith will no longer be voicing the titular character, a role he held since 2010.[9] Amy Rose will also no longer be voiced by Cindy Robinson, a role she has also held since 2010.[10]

One of the writers, Duncan Rouleau, stated that the series will be set in "the video game universe created by Sonic Team" and that "possible Sega crossovers are not ruled out."[11]
