'Knuckles' Punches Out One More Sneak Peek Before Premiere

Posted by on
  By the time you’re reading this, the 6-episode Knuckles series bridging the second and third Sonic the Hedgehog movies is most certainly out. But that didn’t stop Paramount+ from releasing its most action-packed sneak peek yet just two days before. As previously reported, estranged Robotnik associate The Buyer is in pursuit of Knuckles’s quills for their power. He's brought his mech as they meet for the first time right outside the bowling alley. The mech arms grab Knuckles utterly thrashing the echidna around, destroying the parked cars in the area. It is a very brief clip of about 45 seconds. The event series stars Idris Elba as Knuckles as he mentors Adam Pally’s Wade Whipple in the ways of the echidna warrior.

Showtime Abandons 'Uncoupled' Season 2 A Year After Rescue From Netflix

Posted by on


Some savior. Paramount+ with Showtime is reversing its pickup of Uncoupled, deciding not to go forward with season 2. They had picked it up in February 2023 about a month after Netflix canceled the series after a single eight-episode season.

Created by Beverly Hills, 90210, Melrose Place and Younger creator Darren Star, Uncoupled stars Neil Patrick Harris as Michael Lawson, a mid-40s gay man in his navigating New York City single life after being abruptly dumped by his partner of 17 years. Tisha Campbell, Brooks Ashmanskas, Emerson Brooks and Marcia Gay Harden starred with him as series regulars. It was produced by MTV Entertainment Studios.

Showtime’s creative team was putting the project into redevelopment to shape it into what its new home network was looking for. With the strikes delaying filming from its intended July start to this May, there was plenty of time for work on it, and after an unspecified span of months the decision to forego a second season came down. A significant majority of the ten episodes’ scripts had already been written. Star had been Star has been busy filming the fourth season of Emily In Paris, another MTV Entertainment Studios-produced comedy that has fared much better on Netflix than Uncoupled had which also had been delayed by the strike.

Uncoupled was supposed to fit into one the three main content lanes outlined by network president Chris McCarthy, being “Metro Cultures”, which covered “culturally diverse takes” like established hits The L Word and The Chi and recent acclaimed limited series Fellow Travelers. What specifically is going to replace it is unknown as the network replenishes its original programming slate under the still relatively new regime.
