Can't access PARAMOUNT PLUS No worries, Knuckles is getting physical release

Apr 28, 2024 1:40 PM

Fans of the ever-popular Sonic the Hedgehog franchise will be excited to know that the Knuckles series, first launched on Paramount Plus, is set to receive a physical release. The series has been described as a perplexing experience, with wild creative choices reminiscent of the cult-classic Super Mario Bros. film from 1993. Despite any Paramount Plus subscription restrictions, viewers will soon be able to own Knuckles on DVD and Blu-ray, with pre-orders already available on Amazon and Walmart. Details such as the official release date are still under wraps, with neither Sega nor Paramount having made an announcement. Notably, the series nods to Sonic Adventure 2, and Keanu Reeves has been teased as taking on the iconic role of Shadow the Hedgehog.

Is the Knuckles series available for streaming on platforms other than Paramount Plus?

No, currently the Knuckles series is exclusive to the Paramount Plus streaming platform, but it is slated for a future physical release on DVD and Blu-ray.

The Knuckles character comes from the Sonic the Hedgehog video game franchise, first introduced in "Sonic the Hedgehog 3" as an antagonist before becoming one of the main characters in later games. With a unique design featuring spiked hands that enable him to climb walls and a stubborn but earnest personality, Knuckles quickly became a fan-favorite, eventually earning his own spin-off games and appearances in various media including comics, cartoons, and now the live-action Paramount Plus series. Knuckles is known for being the guardian of the Master Emerald, a powerful gemstone that controls the series' iconic Chaos Emeralds.
