Paste magazine has published an informative interview with Knuckles TV series executive producer, Toby Ascher, who talks a little about expanding the Sonic cinematic universe. Talking about the inclusion of other characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise appearing in the upcoming Sonic 3 he said that it has led to “Avengers-level events.” When it comes to the Knuckles TV show, Ascher concluded by saying that “everything is wide open.”
“We got really excited about the idea of expanding our characters in our world into television, specifically, because it gives us a platform to really do character studies. We knew that, with Shadow coming into Sonic 3 and some of the bigger things that we want to do, the Sonic franchise on the movie side is going to be these Avengers-level events.”
“First and foremost, the goal going into the series was: how do we replicate the movie quality in a much more condensed timeline? We knew that if, all of a sudden, this looked like a rip-off series or something that was really shoddily put together, not only will fans reject it, but it’ll damage what we’ve made.”
“If something is working really successfully, and we have a really great story to tell, we’re definitely going to expand on it. I don’t think there’s any closed doors on future television, future seasons of Knuckles, so everything is wide open. I think it’s important to us that we’re not just making stuff to make stuff.”
