Press Release Published On Sonic Boom Season 2, Shadow To Return As Well As “More Characters From The Sonic Game Universe”
A press release from SEGA and a tweet by Bill Freiberger has unveiled more information about Sonic Boom season two. We’ve included the information below.
BURBANK, Calif., Nov. 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Team Sonic is speeding back to kick more bot! The eagerly-anticipated second season of the animated series Sonic Boom™, starring the iconic Sonic the Hedgehog™, will premiere on Boomerang Saturday, November 12th at 6 p.m. ET.
Sonic Boom season two (52 x 11-minute episodes) is high-powered and hilarious! Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Sticks take on bizarre cases of mistaken identity, androids from an outlandish land, real live urban legends, a haunted lair, familiar faces (Shadow and more characters from the Sonic game universe), plus epic conflicts with powerful, new foes! Potent crystals, mercurial mecha, slick scuba gear, stylin’ space suits, sharp snow supplies, custom cars, total team spirit, and of course, constant clashes with the offensive Dr. Eggman and his compelling creations fill the coffers of Sonic Boom season two.
Renewal of the hit CG animated TV series continues the momentum of Sonic the Hedgehog’s 25th anniversary year. SEGA recently released Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice exclusively for the 3DS Nintendo family of systems. This title stars the Sonic Boom TV series cast, and like the show, Fire & Ice delivers Sonic’s best attributes — speed and humor — to fans in a collaborative, single-player experience. Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice features bonus content that unlocks concept art from season two. Rated ‘E for Everyone,’ Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice is available for purchase online and at retail stores.
“Sonic was created as a larger than life, speedy hedgehog bursting with attitude,” said Ivo Gerscovich, SEGA’s Chief Brand Officer and Head of Sonic Pillar. “While he’s predominantly a video game character, we felt he would transition well into the world of TV animation and film. We’ve been proud of the success of the first season of the show and look forward to a second season of laughs and exciting new adventures.”
The announcement for Sonic Boom season two was one of several highlights from the Sonic 25th Anniversary Party in San Diego on July 22nd at the House of Blues. Season one premiered on Cartoon Network and currently airs on Boomerang. Viewers also are able to stream season one on Hulu. With the second season launch on Boomerang, fans will have even more opportunities to watch their favorite, show-stopping Blue Blur.
Sandrine Nguyen, Executive Producer for Technicolor Animation Productions added, “We are thrilled with the success of Sonic Boom. We’ve now sold in over 100 countries around the world. With the start of season two, fans can expect more adventure, more humor, and we can’t wait to see the fan reaction.”
The Boomerang premieres will replay on Cartoon Network starting Nov. 19. Check your local listings for specific air times.

I love the profile picture. Sonic Battle forever!

Blaze is my favorite character but when I see what they did to Boom Shadow… no, just no.
I prefer by far to not see her in Boom instead of taking the risk to see another character being deeply rapped…
Despite him bring in Season 1, I’m sure the Super Special Metal Sonic Must Be In Everything Squad will be out in full force until Metal Sonic is in another episode, thanks to this announcement.
So does this mean new episodes will be on Boomerang, then reran on CN, or vice versa?
No I believe they mean that Season 1 is currently airing on Boomerang while Season 2 will continue to air on CN proper…once the hiatus is over anyway. Boomerang is pretty much CN’s rerun channel, though it used to be more exclusively for classic cartoons. Now it’s pretty much a glorified CN 2.
Oh, nevermind. It appears it IS airing on Boomerang after all. That literally makes NO sense whatsoever.
Wow, sounds like there’s going to be a lot more variety this time around. I can’t wait to see all the wacky hijinks and awesome action, especially with more game universe characters! I’m putting my hopes on Silver and Blaze, their actors really need some more Sonic exposure. Hopefully Kirk’s worked on his Shadow a bit too, he sounds better when he’s going for more of a Saix voice. And of course, Metal Sonic is awesome, so can’t wait to see more stuff happen with all of those characters.
I still think the first season was crap but maybe I will give season 2 another chance, especially with the promise of bigger, multi-episode arcs, as well as the “epic conflicts with powerful, new foes!” and especially the appearance of more characters from the games, here is hoping for Blaze, Rouge and the Chaotix! I just hope they’re well written and not one-dimensional or stereotypical, especially the former.
Well Ian Flynn and Evan Stanley apparently wrote some scripts for the season, so I’d say there’s a pretty good chance that this season will be a lot more entertaining.
Agreed, I like the Archie comics quite a lot and love their humor, I have always preferred humor coming from character than situational, hope that’s the reason these writers came along this season.
And possibly the Archieverse?
No Archie characters as it says here. https://twitter.com/BillFreiberger/status/796780789736214528
Could change his mind for Season 3
Let’s hope so.
Great. (Sarcasm). I wonder how absurd the redesigns will be.
I hope one of the game characters appearing in season 2 is Professor Gerald Robotnik.
I’m hoping for Rouge, and possibly the Black Arms from ShTH to show up.
I’m personally hoping Rouge will return, and maybe the Black Arms from Shadow the Hedgehog. :3
I have 3 simple words…..
BIG THE CAT!!!!!
Lol, watch, they’ll make him buff too. X)”
You know what? It’d be ridiculous, but I’d watch it day 1.
If Blaze, then please, pleeaasseee don’t do what they did with Shadow and have him literally pop out of nowhere with no real explaination of his reasoning or purpose aside from “I MUST BATTLE SONIC AND FRIENDS”.
Tbh, I see Silver or the Chaotix fitting much better instead. Blaze just feels really hard to fit in here since Emeralds aren’t a thing (yet we had those “Chaos Ring Whatever things” in RoL) I mean she can probably still be of royal blood from a far away land or something. A “Sol Kingdom” maybe.
Tbh, as long as they don’t have her be push-over and get KOed in an instant at the start of a fight and have the story not focus on her at all like Archie has done three times in a row already. (Pirate Plunder Panic sucked sooooo baaaaddd)
I could see Chaotix showing up, especially since they’re more or less comic relief characters.
Personally, I’d love to see the addition of Rouge. Where’s that great comedic romantic tension between her and Knux we’ve been missing for so long? And this is coming from someone who’s favorite is Blaze. Rouge needs some love too damnit!
I’m hoping for Silver, Blaze and the Chaotix.
I’m not trying to offend/disappoint anyone, but I don’t feel like this will be a good thing.
I don’t know why, though.

You must know why you feel that way, that comment has to come from somewhere.
Speak up your mind son, don’t be afraid of what anyone could tell you.
Episodes premiering on Boomerang is not a good sign especially if that’s how they view it’s ratings rather than when they finally air on Cartoon Network
*quietly cheers for E-123 Omega in the corner*
Fingers crossed for team chaotix!
I can work with the re-runs on CN. I can’t wait to watch the rest of the season! As for other characters… I’d be hyped for anyone as long as they are done properly!! (Probably Chaotix though)
will the old Sonic Characters ever return I really want to know also will there be new sonic games for PS4 and Xbox One
