## Production[edit]

The 3D animated series was first announced on October 2, 2013, revealing a teaser image featuring Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna and Amy Rose, in silhouette form. The series, which consists of 52 11-minute episodes, was developed by Evan Baily, Donna Friedman Meir and Sandrine Nguyen, with Baily and Bill Freiberger as showrunners, under the supervision of Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka.[41] On February 6, 2014, Sega revealed the first trailer for the series,[42] showcasing the new designs for the characters.[43][4]

The series features returning voice actors from the video game series, including Roger Craig Smith as Sonic, Travis Willingham as Knuckles, Cindy Robinson as Amy, Mike Pollock as Doctor Eggman, Kirk Thornton as both Orbot and Shadow and Wally Wingert as Cubot respectively, while voice actress Colleen Villard succeeds Kate Higgins in the role of Tails.[4][44] The series also introduces a new character named Sticks the Badger, a somewhat-delusional hunter who has been living alone in the wilderness for many years before meeting Sonic and his friends,[45] who is voiced by Nika Futterman. In an interview with Polygon, Iizuka stated the series came about as a desire to appeal more to Western territories, following the 2003 Japanese anime series, *Sonic X*, with Iizuka also stating that the franchise will run in parallel with the 'Modern' series of *Sonic* games.[46] Baily stated that the series would be a mixture of action and comedy, featuring an episodic structure.[47] On October 4, 2014, Sega announced the air date of the series in the United States to be November 8, 2014 on Cartoon Network.[48]

On February 19, 2015, Cartoon Network announced in a press statement that *Sonic Boom*, along with 10 other shows, will return for the 2015–2016 TV season.[49] This was subsequently confirmed by executive producer Bill Freiberger in a fan commentary to not be an indicator of a renewal or second season at this time.[50] However, on October 10, 2015, Lagardère Entertainment Rights announced a second season which premiered on October 29, 2016.[51][52] It was announced on November 10, 2016, that the remainder of season two will air on Boomerang while Cartoon Network airs reruns of the series.

In the UK in 2016, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment released 4 13 episode volumes of the series, all combining the first season. "The Sidekick" was released in the UK on February 8.[62] "Hedgehog Day" was released on May 30. "Mayor Knuckles" was released in the UK on July 25 and the last volume "No Robots Allowed" was released in the UK on October 10. The first two volumes were released in Brazil in 2017.
