Ahead of the launch of the live-action Knuckles television series next month on Paramount's streaming service, the show's episode runtime has reportedly been revealed.
As highlighted by a Sonic fan and Tumblr user (via Sonic City) each episode is expected to go for one hour each. It's a six-episode run, so all up that's six whole hours of Knuckles action!
'Zedson' on Tumblr: "Reminder that the EIDR (a officially registered site by Paramount Pictures) revealed that all 6 episodes of the Knuckles series will be about 1 hour long. With six episodes, we get 6 hours of content, baby!"
In this new series, Idris Elba returns as Knuckles. Other returning characters include Wade (Adam Pally) and Maddie Wachowski (Tika Sumpter). The movie director Jeff Fowler has also helped out with the first episode to make sure it gets off to a good start, and he's still busy working on the third Sonic movie, due out this December.
Will you be watching this new series when it arrives on Paramount next month? Tell us in the comments.

6 hours, wow! Do you think that at any moment he's going to chuckle?
5 bags of popcorn
@neufel
Only five bags of popcorn? There are six episodes, so you'll need at least six. And they are an hour long, so... better make it twelve. Twenty, to be on the safe side! 😆
I'm glad he's making money, but can we get Idris Elba a role that actually uses his talent?
@Pat_trick In this series, Knuckles may chuckle, but he may also ruckle a piece of fabric, or he could get and a car and buckle, or roll on truckles, or find a shoe that's muckle, and perhaps he could show some emotion but subtle, or maybe in a car he can take the shuttle, or use some energy to hustle, but at the end of the day, he is Knuckles
I wonder what the workload is like for the Sonic movie crew. One movie every two years seems like a huge undertaking.
Missed opportunity for '...and knuckles' tagline.
Nice, happy for those who are going to watch this when it comes out (eventually I definitely wouldn't mind watching it myself, but first I have to catch up on the Sonic movies)!
One hour! Six hours of sonic content let’s go!
Seeing all this success for the series is insanely cool. It’s wild to think that none of this probably would have happened if they hadn’t listened and redesigned Sonic in the first place after that initial trailer. This is the kind of success you get when you listen and put out something the fans actually want; not just one movie but a franchise of movies and a spin-off of that franchise. I’m not the Sonic games’s biggest fan or anything, but I still think this is great to see.
A little disappointed it's only 6 not 8 or even 10 but hour long episodes makes up for it as opposed to the usual 42-45 minutes you see.
@neufel
im giving it... SIX boxes of popcorn, and two sonic the hedgehog pez dispensers because I just think Edris Elba is so talented.
@DiamondCore He'll hit the badguys so hard they'll be seeing doubles
@neufel 7 bags of popcorn, 6 cans of your choice of soda, and a sonic pez dispenser for a little something extra
@Gamergirl4 @-wc- Thanks for your reviews but keep in mind this is still a 5 bags system
Not having played a lot of Sonic, I have a question for the community here before I try understanding the show… ahem How much wood would a wood knuckle knuck if a wood knuckle could knuck wood?
Guys today its my birthday
@ThatZeldaNerd
happy birthday, Nerd! 🤓🎉
Awesome. Seems like the series will be longer than Knuckles's four headed--
@Old-Red they kinda did something very subtle and clever. This show was announced along with the third movie.
Means they announced Sonic 3... and Knuckles.
@-wc- Aw thank you!!
But will his adversaries get shelved?
HERE I COME
ROUGHER THAN KNUCKLES
THE BEST OF THEM
TOUGHER THAN KNUCKLES
THEY CALL ME KNUCKLES
UNLIKE KNUCKLES I DON'T CHUCKLE
I'D RATHER CHUCKLE MY KNUCKLES
I'M HARD AS KNUCKLES
IT AIN'T HARD TO CHUCKLE
I BREAK 'EM DOWN
WHETHER THEY KNUCKLES OR KNUCKLES
FIRST KNUCKLES
THEN THE KNUCKLES
THEN THE KNUCKLES CHUCKLE
@N0SEGaming
OMG theme song leak???? 👀
@Gamergirl4 🤯
Knuckles getting the love he deserves heals my inner child, lol. He was always my favourite in Sonic 3 & Knuckles. My mom was the queen of Sonic 2 & Knuckles. She knew where every single ring was in every map.
