Great news for fans of Sonic the Hedgehog! Following the phenomenal box office success of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Paramount Pictures has officially confirmed that Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is on the way, with a theatrical release set for March 19, 2027.
This beloved series, which is rooted in the popular video game franchise, boasts an impressive cast including Jim Carrey, Ben Schwartz, Keanu Reeves, and Idris Elba. The films have not only delighted audiences but have also been commercially successful, with the first installment released in 2020 raking in $319 million globally and setting records as the highest-grossing video game adaptation in North America. The latest film, which introduced the fan-favorite Shadow the Hedgehog, has amassed an astounding $422 million at the box office, pushing the franchise’s total earnings to over $1 billion.
Given the mid-credits scene in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 that teased the arrival of a well-loved character, it was just a matter of time before the announcement for a fourth film came. While details about the storyline remain a secret for now, it’s expected that key voice actors like Ben Schwartz (Sonic), Colleen O’Shaughnessey (Tails), and Idris Elba (Knuckles) will reprise their roles. Jim Carrey, who portrays the iconic Dr. Robotnik, has also shown enthusiasm about returning if the script is engaging enough.
Currently, Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is the only film slated for release on that date, although the schedule could evolve over the next couple of years. Fans may have to exercise a bit of patience as they await Sonic’s next escapade, but the excitement is certainly building for what promises to be yet another exhilarating chapter in this cherished franchise.
