Netflix Geeked Week is over for another year. The event, which took place over a four-day period (September 16 to 19), saw Netflix make numerous announcements about its most popular TV shows, revealing more about its forthcoming movie line-up, showing off which videogames (new and old) will be landing on its streaming platform soon, and providing updates on countless other Netflix-related things. It ended with the very first Geeked Week live event that I would've loved to attended, too.

What is Netflix Geeked Week?
The easiest way to describe Geeked Week is as Netflix's own mini Comic-Con. Essentially, it's a multi-day, mostly online celebration of all things Netflix and the fandoms that its library of TV and Movie Netflix Originals have spawned in recent years.
The world's best streaming service held its inaugural Geeked Week event in June 2021 and, as the free virtual event has grown in popularity, it's become a staple of the entertainment industry's calendar. It's not as big as the aforementioned Comic-Con or even something like Disney's D23 Expo in-person fan event, but we don't think it'll be long before Netflix holds its own similarly styled in-person-only event.
When did Netflix Geeked Week 2024 begin and end?
Geeked Week 2024 began on Monday, September 16 at 7AM PT / 10 AM ET / 3PM BST (NB: that was 12AM AEST on Tuesday, September 17 for Australian readers). The first three days' worth of announcements were virtual-only, meaning you needed to stay tuned to Netflix's YouTube channel and various social media accounts to see each reveal as it was revealed. As for when Geeked Week 2024 will end, it'll drew to a close on Thursday, September 19 with a two-hour live event.
Where did Netflix Geeked Week 2024's live event take place?

As for who was in attendance: Joe Manganiello hosted the live event, while Cobra Kai's Xolo Mariduena and Jacob Bertrand played the role of special correspondents. Gan-favorite director Zack Snyder, Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker, WWE's Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, and stars from Don't Move, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Sandman, It's What's Inside, and One Piece were also seen at various points.

What videogames were shown at Netflix Geeked Week 2024?
Netflix's struggles to break into the mainstream on the videogame front are well documented. Indeed, the streamer's in-house games division has plenty of intriguing titles that are free to play on its service, but over 90% of its global subscriber base still hasn't touched a single one.
The streaming titan, then, made another push to persuade its fans to try one or more of them out. To that end, Geeked Week 2024 brought news of a trio of new gaming titles that'll be exclusively playable on the platform soon:
