It's been a little over 6 months since "Sonic Prime" originally aired on Netflix, back in December, 2022.

The first season was mostly well received, and with the season ending in a cliffhanger, Sonic fans were left but wondering what could be next in this new series featuring the blue hedgehog, and it wasn't until the recent announcement of the 2nd season coming back to Netflix on July13th that fans will be able to continue this story.

To celebrate the upcoming occasion, Netflix has shared the very 1st episode of the second season for free on YouTube, through their "Netflix After School" YouTube channel. The episode has a running length of around 21 minutes, and it focuses entirely on Shadow and Sonic, seeing the two battle it out (with what seems to be some thematic audio cues from Sonic Adventure 2), until they eventually find themselves having to rely on one another to solve the riddle of the shattered dimensions.

For those interested in following the latest series, "Sonic Prime" Season 2 is but just a week away, airing on July 13.

When Netflix writers make better Sonic-related character writing than SEGA themselves.

I'm still sour at the awful writing they gave to Shadow on that Boom series. Damn.

Everybody got the short end of the stick there. It was a kid's comedy cartoon first and a Sonic cartoon second. They could've written it a lot better (look at shows like Adventure Time). I hope Sonic Prime picks up a bit, cause seeing his friends reimagined in different worlds got old quickly for me. I feel like Sonic X is one of the best animated Sonic shows and even that was pretty bad outside the brief arcs based on the Adventure games (which I think were only a dozen or so episodes combined).

They didn't want to do Roblox again?

And yet in my coutry Netflix doesn't even show the episode yet and they blacklisted my VPN's servers. Netflix been working hard in making a great case for piracy.

So when is the Sonic Prime game where you play as Sonic and nobody else?

As someone who didn't watch the first season, that episode was super confusing and weird

Sonic Boom was actually a hilarious show. It gives the impression of being made by some genuinely talented people who are also fans of Sonic, rather than being a Sega cash-grab or taking advantage of how easy it is to make money with shitty children’s programming. It honestly feels quite original and refreshing. I think it must have been a serious pitch by the show’s creators to request permission to use Sonic for a show and a tie-in game, which is why the Sonic Boom show/game/character designs are completely separate from the rest of the Sonic franchise; and it’s also why I forgive Boom for being a bad game, because it’s not really a Sonic game but rather just a show tie-in game; and those are basically always supposed to be bad.

The episode with the universal translation robot is just fantastic lmao. I think it’s season 1 episode 2, and I’d actually recommend it to anybody.

Never heard of this Prime show though, just felt like talking about Boom.

Sonic Prime season 1 needs to be leaked on YouTube or elsewhere; I have no Netflix subscription now, and don't plan on getting it back.

Don't get me wrong, I did like Boom to some extend, but the way they handled Shadow was just atrocious to say the least.

I actually haven't seen a Shadow episode yet. I'll have to watch one sometime, you've got me curious.

Honestly you're not missing much. The short version is something happens that shatters the timeline and every couple episodes Sonic visits a new world that reimagines what his friends are like and he doesn't exist in these worlds.
