Start that leads to nowhere other than restarting.
Just like Street Fighter movies.







Even Tekken, Mortal Kombat, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, and House of the Dead movies got sequels/prequels.

To be fair though, Street Fighter has lots of good fan films.

I agree they're enjoyable but I can't watch them in theatre.

True. Heck I've seen Mortal Kombat fan films which I think are better than the new Mortal Kombat movie. (Though I like how they explained everyone's signature powers with arcana.)

Is this Prime TV series independant from the upcoming Yakuza film... or is this the Yakuza thing that was expected?

Ah I see. I guess no chance it be part of a Sega Cinematic Universe with Sonic if it's on Prime and not Paramount Plus.

Paramount is shuttering the studio behind Knuckles, Paramount Television Studios.



Quote
The studio is responsible for many of Paramount's streaming shows, including Reacher and The Spiderwick Chronicles.
This is part of an effort to cut $500m ahead of their Skydance merger.
Paramount's other TV studio, CBS Studios, will now be taking responsibilities for Paramount Television Studios's shows, including Knuckles. Seems likely any future Sonic shows will be handled by them.
CBS Studios makes shows like Star Trek.
