Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is finally making its way to streaming, with Paramount+ confirming a release date of February 18 for viewers in the United States and Canada. Just a couple of months after its theatrical premiere, fans can now experience Sonic’s latest high-speed adventure from the comfort of their homes. Details regarding its availability in other territories are expected to follow soon.
The third installment in the Sonic the Hedgehog film series introduces Keanu Reeves as Shadow the Hedgehog, a long-awaited addition to the cinematic universe. As Sonic, voiced by Ben Schwartz, faces off against this powerful new rival, the film also marks the return of Jim Carrey’s Dr. Robotnik, who delivers yet another over-the-top performance. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 further expands the lore by introducing Professor Gerald Robotnik, adding another layer to the villainous family’s history.
Directed by Jeff Fowler, who has helmed the entire trilogy, the film continues to build upon the world established in the previous entries. Fowler’s influence on the franchise extends beyond the big screen, as he was also involved in the development of Knuckles, the spin-off series starring Idris Elba as the powerhouse echidna. With the Sonic the Hedgehog films ranking among Paramount’s most successful franchises, the studio shows no signs of slowing down.
The next chapter is already confirmed, with Sonic the Hedgehog 4 slated for a theatrical release on March 19, 2027. While plot details remain under wraps, the post-credits scenes of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 strongly hint at the introduction of Amy Rose and Metal Sonic. Shadow’s storyline also leaves plenty of room for further development, making Sonic 4 one of the most highly anticipated video game adaptations on the horizon. With no direct competition announced for its release date, Sonic’s next big-screen outing is well-positioned to dominate the box office once again.
For now, fans can relive the action when Sonic the Hedgehog 3 premieres on Paramount+ tomorrow. Both previous films in the series are already available on the platform, making this the perfect time for a marathon leading up to Sonic’s future cinematic adventures.
