Fans are curious if the rumors of a new Sonic the Hedgehog spin-off project focusing on Shadow the Hedgehog are true. Here is everything that is known so far.
Is a Shadow the Hedgehog movie or TV show being made?
A Shadow the Hedgehog movie or TV show has not been officially confirmed as of publishing.
However, according to industry insider Daniel RPK, who has a semi-reliable track record regarding his scoops and reports, a Shadow the Hedgehog spin-off is being planned for development by Paramount Pictures. However, whether the project will be a television show or a movie is unknown. Also unknown are the creatives behind the project and the actor who could take on the role of Sonic’s rival, who was introduced in the post-credits scene of Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
Despite this exciting report, fans should take it with a grain of salt and wait for official confirmation from Paramount.
However, fans can no doubt expect Shadow the Hedgehog to make an appearance in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and play a pivotal role, presumably as either an ally or an enemy of Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, given his introduction in the post-credits scene of Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
Ultimately, despite the lack of confirmation on a solo Shadow the Hedgehog spin-off project, the rumored move from Paramount should not come as a surprise to fans. Josh Miller, writer for the first two Sonic the Hedgehog films, addressed Shadow being a pivotal figure in the franchise moving forward in an interview with ComicBookMovie:
“Shadow is clearly going to be in the franchise moving forward, I don’t think it’s revealing anything to say we’d love to incorporate elements from Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow the Hedgehog, his solo spinoff game.”
In entertainment elsewhere, here is an update on The Office spin-off. Also, Neve Campbell has not ruled out a Scream return.
