Sonic the Hedgehog may not be a stranger to video games or cartoon shows – he’s appeared in five since his debut in the 90’s – but Cartoon Network is bringing him back in a big way anyway.
Sega has announced that they had made a deal with the cartoon channel to air a new “character-driven comedy” called Sonic Boom. The series will be aimed at children age 6 to 11, and feature a unique animation style that fits Sonic almost to a tee.
“Sonic Boom is a character-driven comedy that leaves a trail of robot wreckage in its smoldering wake,” said the announcement. “The series centers on Sonic, his best friend and sidekick, Tails, their never-ending search for adventure, and their battles with Sonic’s arch-nemesis, Dr. Eggman. Rounding out the ensemble are fan favorites Knuckles and Amy Rose, plus a rogue’s gallery of enemies – some familiar to Sonic fans and some brand-new.”
The series will make its debut mid-next year. In the meantime, fans can check out Sonic: Lost World when it releases for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS on October 29.
