The director of the first movie, Jeff Fowler, will be returning for the sequel. Pat Casey and Josh Miller have written the script for the sequel.
Even after receiving fan backlash that led to redesign of Sonic, the first movie turned out to be a major box office success. Sonic the Hedgehog made $100 million globally in its opening weekend. The movie had to quickly get a digital release as theaters shut down due to the pandemic.
