Get ready, nerds, because Netflix Geeked Week is returning in September – and, this time, the streaming giant will hold a live, in-person event that you can attend.
Announced in a press release,Netflixrevealed that Geeked Week 2024 will be take place between September 16 and 19. Alongside four days' worth of online reveals, the world’sbest streaming serviceconfirmed that it’ll gather as many fans together as possible in Anaheim, California on Thursday, September 19 for an in-person event celebrating all things Netflix-related. PerGeekedWeek.com, tickets go on sale for said live event on Tuesday, September 3.
Not content with unveiling those plans to its global audience, Netflix also released a 45-second-long teaser that, well, teases that some of its most popular shows, movies, and video games will take center stage during the four-day showcase.
Chief among the original series that’ll be part of Geeked Week 2024 areStranger Things,Arcane,Wednesday, andThe Sandman– just four of the most successful Netflix TV Originals that, in my view, everyone should watch.
It makes sense that this quartet would be among the shows highlighted ahead of Geeked Week 2024, too. Each one has a new season coming out at some point –Arcaneseason 2arrives in November, whileStranger Thingsseason 5,Wednesdayseason 2, andThe Sandmanseason 2are all still in production ahead of likely 2025 and/or 2026 launches. So, fans should expect some news, no matter how big or small, to be revealed about the aforementioned series in mid-September.
They won’t be the only ones that will, mind you. Other notable names in ourbest Netflix showsguide, includingOne PieceandAvatar: The Last Airbender, are also briefly shown in the Geeked Week 2024 trailer. That duo also have second seasons on the way, so you and I should learn more about their development at the event.
And what aboutSquid Gameseason 2, whichjust received a festive Netflix release datetoday (August 1) amid news that its third season – which will debut sometime in 2025 – will be its last? We’re bound to hear and see more about Netflix’s most successful series ever at this year’s edition of Geeked Week, too. Would it be too much to ask for a proper trailer, Netflix?

There are plenty ofnew Netflix movieson the way between September and the end of the year, too, including animated fare likeSpellboundandWallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. Oh, and let’s not forget thatWake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, akaKnives Out 3, is currently being filmed. I’d certainly appreciate an update on how principal photography is going, Netflix, if not a brief glimpse at what lies in store for Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc.
As for Netflix’s lineup of video games, I’m… less enthused by these, but the streaming titan is clearly showing no signs of throwing in the towel on the gaming front. In short: we can expect to see some of its forthcoming games spotlighted at Geeked Week 2024, too, even if many of its subscriber base has never touched one in their lives. But hey, maybe the fortunes of Netflix’s gaming division will start to turn around if they announce something truly spectacular.
