SEGA unveiled their next Sonic project with the announcement of Sonic Boom, two new games coming exclusively to the Nintendo Wii U and 3DS systems. But the announcement was more than just that with the revelation that the company is co-producing a new television series as well.
Sonic the Hedgehog has spawned more than 70 video game titles and four animated series since launching way back in June 1991. This year, SEGA is introducing a new branch of the Sonic universe, entitled Sonic Boom, that will debut a new look for Sonic and friends. The worlds of the TV series and videogame will share a common narrative and a number of location and stylistic similarities reflecting full collaboration between videogame, TV series partners and SEGA from the outset.
The Sonic Boom television series, co-produced by SEGA of America Inc. and OuiDO! Productions, will debut on Cartoon Network in the U.S. The series is an ensemble comedy consisting of 52 x 11-minute standalone episodes. Every episode starts from a small character-driven story and explodes into an epic tale of saving the world, robot battles and more.
