Nickelodeon International will premiere
Sonic Prime, the hit CG-animated adventure series based on the iconic
Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, across its Nicktoons Central & Eastern Europe and Nicktoons Global pan-regional feeds on Monday 21st July 2025! New episodes will air daily, with encores at the weekends.
In Sonic Prime, the action-packed adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog go into overdrive when a run-in with Dr. Eggman results in a literal universe-shattering event. Desperate to piece his prime reality back together and save his old friends, Sonic races through the Shatterverse, discovering strange worlds and enlisting new friends in an epic adventure of a lifetime.
In the series premiere episode, "Shattered," Sonic fights Dr. Eggman and loses. He wakes up in New Yoke City-a nightmare world ruled by Dr. Eggman and where his "best friend", Tails, is a loner called Nine. Just as Sonic earns Nine's trust-they're captured by the Chaos Council! (#101-60)
NickToons Central and Eastern Europe is available in Hungary, Romania, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Poland, and more, whilst Nicktoons Global, which is available in Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Russia, Adria countries (Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia), Turkey, Arabia, and across Asia.
