As reported by Variety, fans will be getting their first look at the show during the upcoming Super Bowl LVIII American football championship game. According to the report, a commercial for the Knuckles series will be broadcast during the event, along with promos for other Paramount+ projects.

Paramount will loom large over the Super Bowl because, beyond the studio’s cinematic offerings, it will use promotional space for Paramount+.

The Knuckles series will reportedly comprise of 6 episodes, taking place after the events of the second film. Knuckles (played once again by Idris Elba) will get roped into training deputy sheriff Wade Whipple in the ways of the Echidna warrior. Stay tuned for more updates as they come.
