Set in the cinematic universe of "Sonic the Hedgehog," the "Knuckles" series follows an action-packed journey of self-discovery. While struggling to adjust to life on Earth, Knuckles the Echidna takes on Wade Whipple as his apprentice, training him in the ways of the Echidna to help him prepare for a bowling tournament in Reno, Nev., where his estranged father is competing. During their journey, Wade reunites with his mother and sister, while Knuckles is pursued by a former agent of Dr. Robotnik, who now seeks to take his power for himself.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Pairing Idris Elba's terse echidna with a befuddled Adam Pally, Knuckles could use some extra punch to appeal more broadly beyond youngsters but hits just fine as light family entertainment.

Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) This is fan service that doubles as enjoyable family viewing, with Elba thankfully in on the joke. May 16, 2024 Full Review Nicola Austin Empire Magazine This is more ‘Wade’s World’ than ‘Sonic 2.5’. Still, Knuckles’ solo side-quest proves fun filler fluff as fans await the arrival of Shadow in the threequel. Rated: 3/5 Apr 30, 2024 Full Review Leila Latif Guardian Ludicrous, hilarious and actually rather moving Rated: 4/5 Apr 30, 2024 Full Review Cameron Frew Dexerto Sonic the Hedgehog’s best frenemy takes the spotlight in Knuckles, a lighthearted small-screen amuse-bouche that’s breezy, childish, and ultimately forgettable. Rated: 3/5 May 20, 2024 Full Review Diego Peralta Geeks of Color Knuckles is an adventure that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, with scripts that never underestimate the younger members of the audience’s ability to follow what happens on the screen. Rated: 7/10 May 17, 2024 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …feels like a Knuckles movie in six parts...decent enough for Sonic hungry kids...

Kyle M The knuckles series is better than I expected. Its got good humour, the action scenes are great and the easter eggs to the games make this series a must watch for any fan of the sonic franchise Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review Kyle M The knuckles series is better than I expected. Its got good humour, the action scenes are great and the easter eggs to the games make this series a must watch for any fan of the sonic franchise. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review Emma M I went into this not expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised. Knuckles was hilarious in places and me and my husband laughed out loud a few times. Cary Else's repeating dear boy grated on me after a while and the Wade sister character was annoying but overall I really enjoyed it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review Cristian s Una buena expansión de las películas con el mismo aura y estilo de humor divertido para toda la familia. Si bien me pareció una gran serie tiene tres problemas fundamentales. El primero es que parecen ser todos capítulos individuales con alguna mínima conexión con el siguiente lo que hizo que, si bien me gusto, nunca me genere expectativa ni me enganche del todo. El segundo es que, si bien sigue la onda de las películas nunca logra un lineamiento en la historia y, francamente, hasta me pareció innecesaria. Divertida, pero innecesaria. Y por ultimo el tema de que el propio Knuckles es un personaje secundario en su propio show. Como ampliación es buenísima, por si misma no funciona. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review David J I agree with what others have said - Knuckles feels a little like a side character in his own series but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Adam Pally is a very entertaining lead/co-lead alongside Idris Elba (and many of the other actors/characters were great fun too) and it's just a fun, light-hearted series. And this is coming from a 36 year old man! I imagine that kids would enjoy it even more! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Collin C Peak beautiful, amazing and funny. And I don't see what everybody's complaining about, it's still a really good show Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/26/25 Full Review Read all reviews
