Knuckles Steelbook Edition - Paramount's Sonic The Hedgehog Spin-Off Is Already Up For Preorder

Preorders are now open for the Knuckles animated series, though we're still waiting on an official release date.

Comments

Paramount just launched its six-part Knuckles TV series last week on Paramount+, but fans interested in adding the Sonic the Hedgehog spin-off to their physical collection can already preorder the Blu-ray version of the animated cartoon. Three different editions of Knuckles are available to preorder now, including one that comes with a collectible steelbook case. Unfortunately, Knuckles preorders are limited to Blu-ray and DVD at this time. It's unclear if Knuckles will be released on 4K Blu-ray at some point.

A release date is yet to be announced, but preorders are officially open at Amazon for $26.

Knuckles Special Features

Unfortunately, no special features have been revealed for the upcoming release. Of course, that's to be expected, as it still doesn't have a firm release date. We wouldn't be surprised to see behind-the-scenes content or new shorts--but keep your eyes peeled in the coming weeks for more details.

Idris Elba, who played Knuckles in the Sonic 2 film, reprised his role for the Knuckles TV show. The six-part live-action series follows the echidna as he trains his protégé, Wade, and teaches him how to fight and fend for himself on the battlefield. The show is earning mixed reviews from critics, with our Knuckles review saying it "works pretty well" as a family-friendly budget comedy.

If you want to bide your time while waiting for the Knuckles Blu-ray to launch, you can check out the Sonic the Hedgehog 2-Movie Collection (Steelbook Edition), which is currently discounted to just $29 (down from $48). The collection includes the first and second movie in the series, along with a steelbook, a new animated short, bloopers, deleted scenes, and more.

While Knuckles is the first live-action Sonic series, it's not the first time the Blue Blur and friends have starred in TV shows. If you're interested in revisiting Sonic's animated TV origins, the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog Complete Series is available on Blu-ray at Amazon. You can also pick up Sonic Boom's complete series with a fancy steelbook case at a big discount. Anime fans should check out the complete Sonic X series on Blu-ray. It contains all 78 episodes and is dubbed in English.

All six episodes of Knuckles are available to stream on Paramount+ now.
