Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is slated to release in theaters on April 8, 2022. The first Sonic the Hedgehog movie released back in February 2020 and reached over $319 million at the box office, notable for finding success despite the onset of the global pandemic that hampered box office returns as numerous theaters closed. Looking ahead, a third movie and a spin-off show featuring Knuckles are also in development, though there's no release window for either project right now.
