Do you need to watch Sonic movies before Knuckles?
Watching Sonic the Hedgehog 2 beforehand gives helpful context, since Knuckles and Wade's relationship begins there.

Who voices Knuckles in the Paramount+ series?
Idris Elba reprises his role as the voice of Knuckles the Echidna, bringing the same gravelly intensity he debuted in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. His deadpan delivery is a major highlight of the series, playing brilliantly off Adam Pally's bumbling human co-lead, Wade Whipple.

Is the Knuckles show worth watching for families?
Rated TV-PG, Knuckles strikes a fun balance between kid-friendly adventure and humor that adults can enjoy. The odd-couple dynamic between Idris Elba's stoic warrior and Adam Pally's lovable goofball keeps things lively. It's a breezy, entertaining watch for families who enjoyed the Sonic film series.
