In addition to Elba starring as the titular character, Adam Pally reprises his role from the film franchise as Wade Whipple. The ensemble cast includes guest stars Stockard Channing (The West Wing), Edi Patterson (The Righteous Gemstones), Scott Mescudi (Don’t Look Up), Ellie Taylor (Ted Lasso, The Mash Report), Julian Barratt (Mindhorn), Rory McCann (Game of Thrones), Cary Elwes (Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning), Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), Paul Scheer (Black Monday), and Rob Huebel (Childrens Hospital). Special guest star Ben Schwartz will reprise his role as Sonic, as well as special guest star Tika Sumpter, reprising her role as Maddie. Colleen O’Shaughnessey will also return as a special guest star in her role as Tails.

All of the key creative team from the previous films have returned for the series, including the films’ director/executive producer Jeff Fowler, who directed the pilot episode and helped transition the film's signature cinematic animation style to television, as well as Neal H. Moritz, Toby Ascher, John Whittington and Toru Nakahara, who serve as executive producers along with Idris Elba. Additional directors for the series include Ged Wright, Brandon Trost, Jorma Taccone and Carol Banker.

The series was created for television by John Whittington and Toby Ascher, who is showrunning during production. Whittington, who wrote Sonic the Hedgehog 2, serves as head writer and wrote the pilot for the series. Additional series writers include Brian Schacter and James Madejski.

Knuckles originally debuted on Paramount+ on April 26, where it smashed numerous records over its premiere weekend, including setting a new global record as the most-watched Paramount+ original series of all time with more than 4M hours streamed over premiere weekend. In addition to its overall record, the series marks as one of Paramount+’s most-watched kids-and-family title ever.

Jorge R. Gutierrez Shares Development Art Once-Planned 'El Tigre' Movie

El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera was one of the major standout animated series releases with Nickelodeon back in the 2000s, and the creator behind it all revealed he would love to come back with a new revival project some day! El Tigre has been in the midst of a small comeback as the Nickelodeon animated series not only has finally been made available to stream with Paramount+ (which means that fans will be able to check out the series for the first time, if they never have seen it before), but its star character also made his fighting game debut, and the series is now the subject of a all-new art book.

With El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera's titular Manny Rivera now a playable character in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, and the series now streaming, with a new book coming out later this year, it seems like it's the perfect time for the franchise to come back as a whole. Series creator Jorge R. Gutierrez was recently asked about this and revealed that he would "absolutely love" to come back for a revival project with ideas for both a potential feature film and new series.

Will El Tigre Ever Come Back?

Speaking with The Cartoon Base, El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera creator Jorge R. Gutierrez said that not only was he interested in coming back for a revival but actually almost did a movie when he initially started working with Netflix before it fell through, "I would absolutely LOVE to do this. When I first came to Netflix we almost did a movie but the deal didn't work out at the time. I have a big idea for a feature and then a new series. Hopefully I get to do this one day."

El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera wrapped up its run several years ago, but it seems like the creator still has plenty of ideas of where to take Manny's adventures next. Set in the Mexican culture inspired Miracle City, the titular El Tigre is the name of the young hero, Manny Rivera, who fights crime. His father, the famous superhero White Pantera, and his grandfather, the famous villain Puma Loco, are both trying to influence the young Manny to use his powers for either good or evil. Together with his best friend Frida Suarez, Manny then takes on all sorts of powerful foes as he battles with his own ideals.

Jorge added in a follow up post: "the Tigre movie almost happened when I was exclusive to Netflix back in 2018. At the time Nickelodeon was all for it but Netflix Animation wanted me to focus on the Maya limited series and Space Punch (which was 2 movies at the time)".

It was a series that had a lot of firsts, so a revival would be a welcome one for sure. Do you want to see El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera return with a new series someday? Let me know all of your thoughts about it on X/Twitter, Bluesky and Threads!

The Art of El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera is available now. You order the book on Amazon.com.
