Beginning October 4th, Nickelodeon will begin airing episodes of the Netflix animated series sonic Prime, which originally ran from 2022 to 2024. While these episodes aren’t brand new, this marks their debut on Nickelodeon. The broadcast will begin with the show’s second season.
Previously, the first season of Sonic Prime was rolled out on various international Nickelodeon channels starting in December 2024, coinciding with the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, produced by Nickelodeon’s parent company, Paramount. This strategic cross-promotion was highlighted by WildBrain employees and Layla Lewis, Senior vice President, Global Acquisitions and Content Partnerships at Nickelodeon.
The Sonic the Hedgehog universe has captivated the hearts of millions around the globe. 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.
These episodes will air on Saturdays at 9 a.m.(ET/PT), and are expected to continue thru the series before looping back to the first episode at the same time. Sonic Prime is an original series based on Sega’s Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, but isn’t directly adapted from a specific game. The series follows Sonic and his friends as they attempt to restore reality after a mishap caused by Dr. Eggman.
The news arrives during a period of renewed popularity for the Sonic franchise. This resurgence began with the retro-inspired Sonic Mania and continued with Sonic Frontiers, the accomplished live-action Sonic movies, and the upcoming racing game, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. 2025 also marks the 20th anniversary of the conclusion of the Sonic X anime, which maintains a dedicated fanbase.
