Netflix – New Sonic The Hedgehog Series not based on IDW comic

Netflix accidentally revealed they were working on a new Sonic The Hedgehog animated series in a removed Twitter post.

No official updates have been made by Netflix or SEGA about the upcoming series, which is apparently scheduled to premier in 2022.

It seems though that the new Sonic series  will not be based on the popular IDW Sonic comic series.This information through via Ian Flynn, one of the writers on IDW’s Sonic series.

Original story

During a Bumblekast Q&A session, the topic of Sonic’s Netflix series was brought up, where Flynn commented that it was “not based on the IDW comics”

Although a fairly minor detail, it does imply that the new Sonic series may likely have an original story like most of the other adaptations that have come before it.
