By Paramount+ released its “Knuckles” event series last week and the show has quickly scored the most-watched premiere weekend for an original series on the platform.
The “Sonic the Hedgehog” spin-off series was viewed for more than 4 million hours in its first few days of availability after dropping all six half-hour episodes on April 26th.
That’s also the most-watched kids & family title ever on Paramount+ after just a few days. In addition, other “Sonic the Hedgehog” titles on the service saw substantial lifts of around 278% over their daily average.
Jeff Grossman, executive vice president of programming at Paramount+ says: “The ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ fans came out in full-force. We’re so thrilled with the record-breaking performance of ‘Knuckles’ and the incredible lift the whole Sonic universe has experienced following ‘Knuckles’ premiere.”
Reviews for the series have been mixed, with a common complaint being about a lack of screen time for the Knuckles character himself due to obvious budget restrictions.
The full season is now available on Paramount+ everywhere.
