Where to Watch Sonic the Hedgehog 2 In The US and UK

Looking to stream Sonic the Hedgehog 2? Whether you’re in the US or the UK, you have several options. The movie is fairly new (2022), so it’s not on free ad-supported sites. Most viewers will need a subscription or pay-per-view. Here’s a friendly guide to the up-to-date places you can watch Sonic 2 in each country, and even how to use iProVPN if you’re trying to watch from abroad.

Watch Sonic 2 in the US

• Netflix (Subscription) – Good news for US fans: Sonic 2 is on Netflix USA (added in early 2025). If you have any Netflix plan (even the cheaper one with ads), you can stream it at no extra cost. Just log in and search “Sonic the Hedgehog 2.” Note that Netflix licenses change, so it might only be available for a limited time (it’s rumored to leave Netflix in summer 2025).
• Paramount+ (Subscription) – Paramount Pictures made the movie, so it’s also on Paramount+. If you already subscribe to Paramount+ (or to Paramount+ via another service like the Paramount channel on Amazon Prime or Roku), you can watch it there. Paramount+ is a paid service, but it’s a good option if you’re already subscribed or if you want one of their free trial deals.
• Amazon Prime Video (Channel & Rentals) – Sonic 2 isn’t included for free on regular Prime Video right now, but you can rent or buy it on Amazon’s site. If you go to Amazon Prime Video and search for Sonic 2, you’ll see options to rent or purchase (typically a one-time fee to rent for 30 days, then 48 hours to watch). Also, Amazon offers a Paramount+ Channel add-on for Prime subscribers – subscribing to that channel (in addition to your regular Prime membership) gets you Paramount+ content.
• Other Subscription Services – Besides Netflix and Paramount+, some cable or satellite providers include on-demand streaming. For example, if you have Spectrum cable, you might find Sonic 2 on Spectrum On-Demand (for a rental fee). Services like Plex also offer it for rent. In practice, though, most people will stick with Netflix or Paramount+ since they’re easy all-in-one subscriptions.
• Digital Purchase or Rent – If you don’t want a subscription, you can always pay for the movie directly. It’s available to buy or rent on most digital stores in the US. For example:
  • Apple iTunes / Apple TV: Pay to buy or rent on the Apple platform.
  • Google Play / YouTube: You can rent or buy it there as well.
  • Fandango at Home (Vudu): Digital purchase or rental.
  • Amazon Video: As mentioned, it’s on Prime Video’s store for rent or purchase.
    Usually, rental prices are around $3.99 to $5.99, and buying (owning digitally) is around $12-$15. You can choose SD or HD. Once rented, you have 30 days to start watching and 48 hours to finish.

Overall, in the US, the simplest routes are Netflix or Paramount+ if you want it “included.” If not, renting from Amazon, Apple, etc., works fine. Just remember: Netflix/Paramount+ need active subscriptions, while renting is a one-time fee.

Watch Sonic 2 in the UK

Watching Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in the UK is a bit different. It’s not on Netflix UK anymore (it was there earlier, but it left in late 2024), and it’s not included on Disney+ or free TV. Here’s where you can find it now:

• Sky Cinema / NOW TV (Subscription) – In the UK, Paramount movies often go to Sky’s platforms. If you have a Sky Cinema subscription on your TV package, you should be able to watch Sonic 2 on the Sky Cinema channel or on-demand at no extra cost. Even if you don’t have a Sky TV account, you can subscribe to NOW (formerly Now TV), which is Sky’s streaming service. With a NOW Cinema Pass (which you pay for monthly), Sonic 2 is available to stream as part of that pass. Basically, if you pay for Sky Cinema (either via cable or NOW), you can watch Sonic 2 for free as long as you keep that subscription.
• Paramount+ via Sky (Optional) – Paramount+ launched in the UK as part of Sky’s offerings in 2022, so technically Sonic 2 is also on Paramount+ UK (which you get by having a Sky Cinema subscription). In practice, it’s the same as above – you need the Sky/Now Cinema deal to access it.
• Digital Purchase or Rent – Just like in the US, you can pay to watch it on digital stores. In the UK, Sonic 2 is available to buy or rent on:
  • Amazon Prime Video (UK): You can rent or buy from Amazon.co.uk’s Prime Video store. It’s not free with Prime, so you’ll pay per rental.
  • Apple iTunes / Apple TV (UK): Buy or rent from the Apple store in your Apple TV app.
  • Rakuten TV: This service (sometimes called Rakuten Viki) is popular in the UK for rentals.
  • Sky Store: If you have a Sky account, you can rent/buy through Sky’s online store as well.
  • Google Play / YouTube: Rentals and purchases may also be available here under the UK store.
  • Microsoft Store: You can rent/buy on Xbox/Windows devices via Microsoft.
    Rental or purchase prices in the UK are similar to the US (rent ~£3-5, buy ~£10-15). You pick SD or HD as you like.

In summary for the UK: No free streaming unless you have a Sky Cinema subscription (via TV or NOW). Otherwise, you’ll need to pay for it individually. Sky’s options (Sky Cinema or NOW) are the closest to a “subscription” style. Everything else is paid per view.

Watching Sonic 2 Anywhere with iProVPN

If you are in a region where Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is not being streamed or you want extra privacy, you might want to utilize a VPN like iProVPN. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) lets you securely connect to the internet through a server in another country. This does two things: it makes you look like you’re surfing from the US (or UK), and it encrypts your connection so no one else on the same network can snoop on what you’re doing.

How to use iProVPN:

1. Get and install iProVPN. First, sign up for iProVPN if you haven’t (it’s not free). Download the iProVPN app or program on your computer (they have Windows, Mac, mobile, etc, available).
2. Go to a server. Open iProVPN and select a nation where Sonic 2 is accessible to stream. As an example, to watch Netflix US, select a USA server. If you want to access something specific in the UK, select a UK server.
3. Open your streaming app/site. With iProVPN appended, open Netflix, Paramount+, or whatever your preferred service is. Sign in as usual. The site will think you are in the country where the VPN server is located. For instance, Netflix will show the US library if you are connected to the US.
4. Browse and watch Sonic 2. Find Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and start watching. It will play just like normal – the VPN connection is in the background.

Benefits of using iProVPN:

• Access geo-locked media: If Sonic 2 is not available on Netflix or Paramount+ in your region, this hack can solve the issue. Say UK users can route through a US server to access Netflix US, which has the film. Or a US user might route through a UK server if there were UK-only media.
• Online anonymity: iProVPN protects your internet connection. That means, if you are watching something on public Wi-Fi (in a cafe, say, or an airport), no one else in the area can intercept what you’re watching. Your real IP address is not apparent.
• Avoid local blocks: Sometimes, if a service blocks VPNs, you might find that you need to try a number of servers. iProVPN has many countries to choose from, so you can pick an alternative if one is blocked.
• Recall: Using a VPN is legal, but it may violate the terms of service of certain streaming sites (which typically say not to use it to circumvent them). We are not promoting piracy – you should only stream Sonic 2 if you have a legitimate way of viewing it. That is, make sure you’re signed into Netflix, Paramount+, or some other service that you’ve paid for. The VPN is just a tool to help you watch through your own subscriptions.

Watching Sonic 2—Other Streaming Tips:

• Get logged into your streaming account in advance, prior to changing regions.
• After the iProVPN connection, you might need to reload the streaming app or browser.
• If a VPN location does not work (some services pick it up), attempt another country nearby where the film is available.

Conclusion

To sum up: in the US, you can stream Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on Netflix (with your subscription) or Paramount+. If not subscribed, you can rent or buy it on platforms like Amazon Video or Apple iTunes. In the UK, it’s not on Netflix, but you can watch it with Sky Cinema/Now TV if you have that subscription. Otherwise, rent/buy it on Amazon, Apple, Rakuten, Sky Store, etc.

And if you ever need to “virtually” be in another region, using iProVPN might help you access the movie as if you were there, plus it keeps your viewing secure.
