Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s Paramount Plus release date is fast approaching.
The streaming service announced on Monday that the third film in the franchise will join its action-packed predecessors on the platform tomorrow. The latest entry is set after Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and the Knuckles Paramount Plus series and stars Keanu Reeves as the voice of the mysterious and powerful hedgehog Shadow, a new anthropomorphic adversary for Knuckles, Tails and Sonic.
The PG-rated action comedy sped into theaters in December and currently has a score of 85% on Rotten Tomatoes. A fourth Sonic the Hedgehog movie is scheduled to release in 2027. If you missed the third adventure on the big screen or want to rewatch, here’s when you can step through a portal to the film on Paramount Plus.
When to watch Sonic 3 on Paramount Plus
The video game movie will premiere overnight on Tuesday, Feb. 18, for folks in the US and Canada. Based somewhere else? Paramount Plus said Sonic 3’s “availability in additional international Paramount+ markets will be announced at a later date.”
Paramount Plus has two subscription options for newcomers: Essential and Paramount Plus with Showtime. Essential is ad-supported and costs $8 per month or $60 per year. You’ll need the latter plan, which costs $13 per month or $120 per year to watch Showtime programming like the currently airing Yellowjackets. Sonic 3 is also available to rent for $10 at Amazon and Fandango at Home.
While you can watch Sonic 3 with either version of Paramount Plus, opting for the Showtime plan removes commercials from your streaming experience (outside of live TV) and lets you download titles. Deal-seekers can try the service for free for a week, and college students can get a discount on Essential.
