Netflix always wants its annual Geeked Week events to get people hyped up about all of the new movies and series it’s been cooking up to dazzle subscribers and convince newcomers to sign up. That’s much easier said than done. But between the new trailers and sneak peeks from series like Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, Devil May Cry, and the new live-action adaptations of Avatar: The Last Airbender and 3 Body Problem scheduled to debut at this year’s showcase, Geeked Week 2023 feels like something to get excited about.
All of this week’s new teases and first looks will come as part of three separate virtual presentations that you can stream on YouTube, but you can also follow along with us here for more details and updates.
A damsel very much in distress.
After kicking off Geeked Week with some small bits of Stranger Things news, Netflix returned this morning with a brief glimpse Damsel, which also happens to star Millie Bobby Brown. You can check out the poster below, but the premise is even more interesting:
A dutiful damsel agrees to marry a handsome prince, only to find the royal family has recruited her as a sacrifice to repay an ancient debt. Thrown into a cave with a fire-breathing dragon, she must rely on her wits and will to survive.
It’ll be premiering in 2024.

We still don’t know when the next season of Stranger Things is coming, but Netflix has at least released some details on the upcoming prequel, The First Shadow. It’s set in 1959 and is billed as an origin story for a number of important Stranger Things elements including Vecna and the Upside Down itself — the twist is that it’s a stage show that opens up in London in December. You can get a taste for it in the teaser below.
