Is this a fan thing?

It is, but they're in contact with SEGA about it. They're got the greenlight to make a full length pilot that they'll pitch.

Full theme available.

Here's a couple of things they left out of the trailer

The beloved Sonic the Hedgehog Saturday morning cartoon is getting a long-awaited unofficial third season created by a fan-funded nonprofit called TEAM SEA3ON that is not affiliated with SEGA. The original show, commonly referred to by fans as Sonic SatAM, ran for two seasons on ABC in 1993-94 before it was canceled prematurely on a cliffhanger.

Sonic SatAM was a much darker and mature version of the Blue Blur. Set on the planet Mobius, this version of Sonic centered on anthropomorphic animals that once prospered in the mighty Kingdom of Acorn before their ally Dr. Robotnik and his nephew Snively betrayed them and forced them to flee into the woods. As Robotnik converted the prosperous kingdom into the dystopian city of Robotropolis, Princess Sally Acorn formed the Freedom Fighters to stop Dr. Robotnik's quest for world domination as he roboticized the planet's inhabitants into his robotic slaves.

The series' new continuation will pick up where the last episode of Sonic SatAM left off, following a decisive battle against Dr. Robotnik. At the end of the second season, Sonic and Sally use their world's version of Chaos Emeralds known as the Power Stones to not only destroy Dr. Robotnik's aptly named Doomsday Machine, but Robotropolis and Robotnik himself. As the Freedom Fighters celebrate, Snively emerges from the rubble as the clear successor to his deceased uncle. But as he deviously proclaims, he isn't alone. He is accompanied by some mysterious creature peering out from the darkness with glaring, red eyes. TEAM SEA3ON is reviving all of these elements as shown in an incredible trailer. It begins with a voice that clearly belongs to Snively as he recounts his plan to catch the Freedom Fighters off-guard while an angry Princess Sally vents to a concerned-looking Sonic about how the war should have been over. And, of course, there are scenes showing the return of the menacing red eyes.

Sonic SatAM fans are rejoicing not only because the cult favorite series is continuing, but also due to how perfectly TEAM SEA3ON is emulating certain aspects of the show. Snively and Princess Sally Acorn sound just like Charlie Adler and Kath Soucie who voiced the original characters respectively. It's also quite appropriate that the majority of the trailer focuses on scenes with Princess Sally and the partially roboticized Bunnie Rabbot. Sally and Bunnie from the cartoon are two of the strongest female characters in Sonic the Hedgehog. Both are strong leaders and warriors who never allow Sonic to disrespect them, like he does in other iterations of the franchise. He never would anyway, however, since he deeply appreciates everything that they do.

Has this become a official project at all?

Has this become a official project at all?

It has 'signatory status' within SAG-AFTRA, which means it's a union project now. It'll only be 'official' if Sega approve of the pitched pilot, but that's still going to take some time to put together.

Has this become a official project at all?

I don't expect this to ever become official. Sega is pretty good when it comes to Sonic fan projects. As long as the creators don't try to profit it won't get a C&D

I don't expect this to ever become official

True, at best it'll give the animation team some cushy jobs in the industry if and when completed, Sega are good with fan creations, but they are also very cagey about profiling the freedom fighters, and the Archie debacle left a bleak mark. I don't see them wilfully reopening that wound no matter how good the pitch is.
