After making his debut in Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Idris Elba returns as Knuckles in his own spin-off series.
Created by John Whittington and Toby Ascher, Knuckles serves as a sequel to the 2022 film, as he trains deputy sheriff Wade Whipple (Adam Pally) in the ways of the echidna warrior.
The series also features guest appearances from Tails (Colleen O’Shaughnessey) and Sonic (Ben Schwartz), with other cast members including Julian Barratt, Rory McCann and Christopher Lloyd as the voice of Pachacamac.
