The Paramount Plus With Showtime plan does include your local live CBS station. Though the plan is mostly ad-free, live TV streams will still have commercials, and a few shows include brief promotional interruptions to keep you in the loop on new and upcoming Paramount+ programming.

Per the official synopsis, the movie picks up shortly after Knuckles' six-episode side quest and follows "Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails on their most epic adventure yet."

"The team reunites to face a new, formidable foe, Shadow, a mysterious hedgehog with powers unlike anything they've ever seen," the description continues. "Together, team Sonic must secure an unexpected alliance if they hope to stop Shadow and save the planet they now call home."
