According to previous mxdwn post, the official synopsis of the six-episode event will follow Knuckles, voiced by Idris Elba (The Dark Tower), as he acclimates to  life on Earth and goes on to train deputy Whipple Wade, played by Adam Pally (Dog Days), in the ways of his people. A former accomplice of Robotnik assigned two mercenaries played, by Kid Cupi (Trolls Band Together) and Ellie Tayler (Ted Lasso), to hunt down Knuckles.

The unlikely du will also be confronted by the Buyer, played by Rory McCann (Jumanji: The Next Level), with similar plans to Robotnik’s, in which he tends to harness Knuckle’s power

The mention of Robotnik’s name will place the events from the spin-off between the second and third film.
