There’s no trailer for Sonic Prime Season 2 yet. However, there’s a still of Sonic and Shadow, indicating that the pair will battle again:
Sonic Prime cast and crew – who’s returning?
We expect all the cast from the first season to return. That means Deven Mack voices the lead hedgehog, Sonic and Ashleigh Ball return to play his trusty sidekick Tails. Amy is again played by Shannon Chan-Kent and Knuckles is voiced by Adam Narada.
Also in the cast is Brian Drummond as Eggman, Vincent Tong as Shadow, and Kazumi Evans as Rouge.
None of the actors from the games or movies appear in Sonic Prime. This is reportedly due to the fact that it is a Canadian production, and as such, the voice actors hired are those who live in this country.
sonic prime season 2 plot
Spoilers for Season 1 of Sonic Prime are coming
After breaking the boundaries between the Shatterverse, Sonic traveled through countless worlds to try and save his friends and return everything to normal by collecting the shards he broke in the first place.
During this time, he went to New Yoke City, a cyberpunk world where Eggman reigned supreme, a jungle world (Boscage Maze) where nature was out of control, and a pirate world.
In this land, Sonic came face-to-face with Rusty Rose – the Cyborg counterpart of the fun-loving hammer-wielding hedgehog Amy Rose. Rusty was under the command of the Chaos Council – AKA, multiple versions of Eggman.
Together with his pirate multiverse friends, Sonic managed to subdue Rusty. However, he was absorbed in one of the shards, where he encountered Shadow from the original world. The series ended with Sonic trapped in limbo in the Shatterverse battling Shadow.
Stills from season 2 confirm that Sonic will manage to travel back to the pirate world, though it seems Shadow also has his own agenda, which is still unclear. He also possessed a Chaos Emerald, which could be dangerous if a member of the Chaos Council got his hands on it.
We’re expecting Sonic to return to New Yoke City to take on the Chaos Council and try to get Rusty Rose on the good side – although this could prove tricky given that she’s fully robotized. We can also learn more about Sonic’s relationships with his friends as he begins to discover more about himself and the mistakes he made that led him into this mess.
Executive producer Logan McPherson told What’s on Netflix, “The story continues to grow and push Sonic to the limit, both physically and emotionally, so you can expect a wild ride and lots of fun!!”
We should learn more when the first trailer for the series drops later this year.
