Sonic Boom Season 2 Confirmed At Trade Show
And so it is official.
Every October an annual trade show held in Cannes, France takes place. Marché Internationale de Programmes Communications, or MIPCOM, is attended by representatives of television studios and broadcasters, It’s used as a marketplace to buy and sell new programs and formats for international distribution.
The event also features keynote presentations and panels featuring representatives of the industry too. Among those is the company, LER, who distributes Sonic Boom throughout the world excluding the USA and Asia (the latter of which excluding Japan). There they have made the following announcements via a keynote presentation.
-
- Season two of Sonic Boom has entered production with SEGA and OuiDO! Productions.
- The broadcasting rights for the show have been purchased by Discovery Kids (Italy) and MEGAMAX / Minimax (Hungary, Romania, Moldova, Czech Republic, Slovakia).
- Discussions are underway for TV contracts in Russia, English Canada, Turkey, and Benelux.
- Discussions have also begun for a multi-territory deal video. This suggests a DVD and/or Blu-Ray release in the works.
Season one of the show is confirmed to be airing in almost 100 territories. These include the following regions:
Cartoon Network: United States, Britain, Australia / New Zealand, Asia, Japan, Greece, Latin America, Middle East and English-speaking Africa
DSTV Kids: Lusophone Africa
NOGA Israel
Pixel: Ukraine
Radio Canada: Canada French
RTBF Belgium
RTS: Switzerland
RTVE: Spain
SIC: Portugal
TELETOON +: Poland
We’ll keep you up to date on the latest.

I wonder if they’ll change the character designs to normal (whatever “normal” is with this franchise) this time around. Unlikely, considering that it’ll probably create brand confusion, but this’ll be interesting nonetheless.
The designs won’t change, exactly for the reason you stated
I am so happy that it’s finally confirmed! Fuck the Boom haters! This the Boom team’s chance to successfully bring a stronger season for the show!
Please don’t go starting a fire. I think this is great too, but don’t go cursing out the opposing team.
Yeah, let’s try not to step on anyone’s toes here.
I think the main reason there are Boom haters is because we haven’t really gotten much of regular Sonic in a long time. Let’s face it, Lost World was pretty much Boom Sonic without the scarf. It may as well have been a Sonic Boom game, despite Boom not having been a thing yet. I think once the 2016 game is revealed, and it actually resembles regular Sonic, you’ll see a lot less hate for Boom. At least that’s what I’m hoping for.
Lost World is pretty much Boom? Huh?
Sweet! Good to hear.
Hoping for more Metal Sonic and Shadow appearances, plus maybe more game characters.
I’m hoping for some of the Archie/SatAM cast to be included.
As cool as it would be, it won’t happen. Legal issues, mainly.
Sweet! I wonder what sort of direction the show will take for this upcoming season.
I hope it won’t be a downgrade.
My only request for the second season is that we get some kind of continuity. The stand alone episodes were good for a while, but I’d like a little more depth this time around.
*Upvote comment*
It would be good to see an over-arching story across the season; that concept tied together the second series of SatAM pretty nicely, and it can be made to work for Boom too.
Failing that, a few two-parters would be nice.
I’m not surprised, but glad to hear. The first season was great so far!
It’d be nice if in Season 2, we got a little more use out of Metal Sonic and Shadow, and maybe throw in a couple more of the game characters. It’s not like they’re being treated any respect in the main series right now…
The only thing I hope changes is the airing time for new episodes, one preferably not at 6/7 in the morning.
Yeah, good news. Here’s hoping for 2 parter episodes, more info about Shadow, and maybe a new villains and friends. Maybe we can see Dr Eggman’s father since he gets mentioned quite a lot.
Papa Robotnik?
Well, Mama Robotnik is a thing thanks to AoStH, so why not? 🙂
We don’t speak about…papa Robotnik…lying, cheating, selfish bastard… XP
Am I seeing things or does this article already have over 500 likes!?!? Man, Boom IS popular.
Not to the Boom haters, they seem so convinced that Boom is a complete failure.
I guess that just in the case of Fire & Ice, S2 was already ready to roll well before Sega even attempted to wait for it’s possible reception. Whatever.
Great news! I know the show is a comedy, but I’d like to see the show handle a serious 2-parter. Adventure Time is a comedy, but every now and then gets serious. Why not Sonic Boom? DO YOU HEAR ME, MR. FRIEBERGER?
I think it’s doing well because it’s not arc-based, but either way, I hope it stays good (and I would like to see more integration of game/TV characters).
I dunno if it’s our DVR not keeping up, but there are a lot of episodes I haven’t seen here. Where’s Shadow?
Last episode
Shadow will show up in the finale of Season 1. It hasn’t come out in the US yet, but if the synopsis is anything to go by, it’s gonna be epic!
Personally I’m hoping for more female characters, especially villains. I think they need to even out the gender balance a bit more in this entire series, Boom included
Alright, this is great to hear! The only things I would hope for in Season 2 would be that they improve the visuals and animation a little more, there’s a little bit more action thrown in, and that we see more of fan favorite characters. I mean that I would like to see Metal Sonic and Shadow appear just a little more often, but I would also like to see other characters make an appearance as well, like Silver and Blaze. It would be a good opportunity for their actors to get some more mileage because we haven’t really been that exposed to them lately. One thing I could go either way for is more of a continuity or centralized plot for the show to follow. I mean, it’s been doing pretty well without one, so it isn’t necessary for it to do so. But, I will admit that I did get a little more invested when things got a little more serious with that one Metal Sonic episode, and whenever they randomly mention lore that existed in the game continuity I was pleasantly surprised. So if they wanted to have a bit more of a linear series of events that leads up to some kind of climax, that would be nice to see. Is it necessary for the show to do well though? No, I don’t think so. In any case, they should just be given a little more free reign to do what they want and to go nuts with it, because the later episodes of Season 1 really seem to be emitting more of that creativity that the first episode teased at. Here’s hoping Season 2 will deliver the Boom even better than before!
ENOUGH WITH BOOM!!! Jeez! Most of the Sonic fanbase doesn’t even like Boom, and here they are not listening to their fans once more by making a second season of Sonic Doom. I better go ask Nintendo of America to make a sitcom of Mario next
Don’t you just love it when the haters speak with such false authority? Don’t you just love the way they genuinely believe they speak for a fanbase that would rather they just crawl away and die, lest they continue to poison the fanbase’s reputation?
And this article, after I went back and reviewed most of the articles in the last couple years, has received the most Facebook likes to date: 750 likes. By comparison, most articles get only a pultry 5 or so, or maybe a few dozen likes if it’s lucky. But hundreds of likes? This Sonic Boom hater just refined delusional on a whole other level.
Considering how I’ve heard nothing but an outpooring of positive support for the cartoon everywhere since the news came out I think it’s safe to say that the claim of “most of the fanbase hating Boom” is false.
30 comments, and not one negative?
Is this still TSSZ News?
I stand corrected
Hey guys, I don’t know if this has already been pointed out, but according to ElectricAngel on Sonic Stadium, Greece doesn’t have a Cartoon Network. Its CN closed down in 2013 because of the economy. If there were any channel that Boom would air on, it would be Star.
http://board.sonicstadium.org/topic/17843-sonic-boom-tv-series-discussion-untagged-spoilers/?do=findComment&comment=979213
Now, I don’t know if this just something Donny assumed from the distributors listed. After all, the distributor that handles Sonic Boom in Greece has also been tasked with handling Boom in the Middle East and Africa, two regions which do have CN. But if this is from the source, some fact checking is in order to make sure that there isn’t any other inaccuracies.
They specifically say it in the article I sourced, which came from LER’s keynote speech. In fact all the info the sourced article provides came from LER.
Ok, thanks for telling me! 😀
I just want to make sure that everything is accurate.
REALLY glad to here that there is a season 2 coming!!! 😀 This show is WAY too good to stop at one season! ^.^ BRING ON THE BOOM!!!!

Despite the adult haters, kids overwhelmingly love Boom Knux. (He’s not mentally slow heap of muscle. So there. 😉 ) 86% to be exact, according to kids poll at Carl’s Jr’s “Carl’s Cool Kids.” Props to Mad Convey at TSS for finding this:

Inb4 “you mad, bro”, because yes the hell I am.
……..so, you mad bro? X)
What happened to you? You used to be pretty balanced; now you’re just like every other hater out there, spewing bile and vitriol at everyone who dares think different to you.
And this is a prime example of the kind of hostilty I’ve warned repeatedly not to do. This isn’t me bitching either. This is me losing my patience with the insulting and opinion shoving after months of saying “don’t do that”.
As for everyone else don’t try to stir up anything. That’s asking for trouble.
Sorry, I guess I was getting a bit carried away there. I just really found his comment distasteful and insulting.
It’s fine. The instigating I can forgive considering it hasn’t happened before and this is the first time I’ve had to say anything.
Travesty != tragedy
http://hellogiggles.com/10-words-that-youve-probably-been-misusing/
This just in, apparently Sonic Boom was a Shakespearean tragedy drama this whole time. Who knew? X)”
He is technically correct in his usage, describing Sonic Boom as a poor rendition or adaptation of Sonic the Hedgehog. I was suspicious he was sure since many people still think of the two words synonymously which is why I called it into questioned. Nine times out of ten, the person I ask thinks it is a tragedy when it is not.
However, to clarify took for you, by definition, tragedy does not solely mean a form of drama or an unfortunate event. In actuality, the word tragedy can also be used in a figurative or symbolic sense to describe a substantial setback, be it in social, intellectual, educational, religious, political, and sundry spheres. For example, someone can consider the breaking of a close friendship, a moment of loss of faith in deity, and failure in an important class as all tragedies in this context.
Well then… 😛
…I still think using it to describe the show is a bit excessive, but whatever. Big words make your argument feel more valid I guess. Maybe that’s why I use them most of the time, lol. X)”
Yeah, big words are fun, but I chose the words I did because they really do mean what they say, not to sound smarter. I was simply explaining things the way they are. I am a big proponent of facts and those are the plain facts as I know them from studying linguistics in academic circles. Using big words without meaning behind them or to inflate your argument is just not my business. Just speak truth, and let people figure it out for themselves.

Another season of Sonic Boom?! Maybe now Cartoon Network will actually acknowledge it… hopefully. Kind of wondering what direction Boom will go.
Will they try to make another home console game but make it completely different from RoL? Will they add arcs and make it like the original Teen Titans by some silly episodes followed by serious one? Will they save the serious story to the games and have the TV show be silly? Will Sonamy ever be a thing? Will they explain Shadow? Will they just ignore everything that happened in RoL? So many questions, but question is will we see Shadow in a hawaiin shirt?
What I really find bizarre is that they have Sonic Boom airing episodes on Boomerang now (probably just for the sake of the pun, wouldn’t blame them for that), along with a line up of a few other contemporary shows. How can you have something that is CURRENTLY AIRING on Cartoon Network be on syndication on Boomerang? Kind of feels like cheating for views if you ask me. Like what if Nick had a nostalgia channel and started airing the older episodes of Spongebob and Fairly OddParents while newer episodes were still airing on regular Nick? Maybe they’ll do that with the new PowerPuff Girls show or something. Either way, if they had waited a few more weeks it would have made sense, then the season would be over, so then you’d have somewhere to syndicate it while the second season is being made and you can highlight the rest of your line up. But no, I guess they couldn’t wait to say Sonic BOOMerang.
Well, this was random. (By the way, sorry if I came across as a know-it-all back there. I was really sharing something I knew. I like learning new things and sharing them instead of having to keep it all locked up and on standby forever. Shake on it? *Extends hand of apology in Knuckles-shaped glove*):

Dude, don’t sweat it, at least you’re showing that you actually care about being accurate in what you say. That’s something that many people can say, but only a few can really back up.
And, oh my god, how the heck did that even happen? It’s like somebody out there is playing a game of Telephone with us or something… OoO””
Actually Nick really does air older episodes of SpongeBob and Fairly OddParents on Nicktoons while they get new episodes on the main channel.
Yep.
Oh….right…
…well, it’s no Boomerang tho. ^_^”
That’s a nice way to look at it. There’s some shows on Cartoon Network I will never like, but that doesn’t mean others shouldn’t get something out of them.
“Season one of the show is confirmed to be airing in almost 100 territories. These include the following regions:
(…) TELETOON +: Poland”
WOOOOW, Finally. Boom confirmed for Poland, and on a channel I actually have.
Cool! I actually have Polish ancestry. By the way, how do you say “Ready to roll champ, let’s go!” and “Let’s do it to it!” in Polish?
Place your bets now people:
Will Sonic Boom become the longest running Sonic show?
Based on episode count alone, it’s already third
Great! I can’t wait for Boom to take over the main series now that it’s seen as the new successful side of Sonic.
“Out with the old! In with the new!” right guys!?
They have said many many times that it’s not taking over the main series.
..I thought it would go away after this. Why do you hate me?
Starting now, my money only goes towards the sonic comics. If I ever see boom again it’ll be thanks to a video rip.
