“ Sonic the Hedgehog 4 ” is sprinting to theaters in the spring of 2027. The fourth installment in Paramount’s family-friendly franchise will be released on March 19, 2027. It’s currently the only title on that date, though that’s sure to change over the next two years.

Directed by Jeff Fowler, who has directed all three films in the series, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 stars Jim Carrey, Ben Schwartz, Krysten Ritter, Natasha Rothwell, Shemar Moore, with James Marsden with Tika Sumpter with Idris Elba and Keanu Reeves, who joins the all-star cast as Shadow the Hedgehog.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has set a new record ahead of its digital release, becoming the highest-grossing of the entire series. Set for digital release on January 21 in the US, the threequel, which sees Sonic, Tails and Knuckles form an alliance with Dr Robotnik to defeat Shadow the Hedgehog, has yet to confirm its release in the UK.

The fourth film in the Paramount Pictures franchise has grossed a series-best $422 million in theaters and generated more than $180 million in home entertainment rentals and purchases.

After previous reporting in December confirmed another Sonic sequel was in the works, Paramount has officially announced that Sonic the Hedgehog 4 will arrive in theaters in March 2027.
