In what’s becoming an annual tradition, Netflix is holding a livestreamed event called Tudum this year to show off some of its biggest upcoming shows, movies, and games. The streamer has already confirmed that some of its most-anticipated projects will be making an appearance, including its live-action takes on One Piece, 3 Body Problem, and Avatar: The Last Airbender. On top of that, expect some more detail on The Witcher’s upcoming third season as well as other heavy hitters like Stranger Things, Bridgerton, and Wednesday, and probably a few more titles for Netflix’s fledgling gaming efforts. You can keep up with all of the latest reveals right here.
Netflix finally shows off its swashbuckling One Piece series in first trailer
It’s been a long time coming, but Netflix is finally ready to show off its upcoming adaptation of One Piece — we got the very first trailer at the streamer’s Tudum event today. The clip shows off around 90 seconds of the live-action pirate series, featuring the main cast — which includes Iñaki Godoy in the lead role — as well as giant sea monsters and a very stretchy arm.
Just as important: the eight-episode series now has a premiere date. It’ll start streaming on Netflix on August 31st.
Netflix’s next attempt at an action blockbuster.
Joining the ranks of Extraction, Red Notice, and the Grey Man cinematic universe is Heart of Stone, which stars Gal Gadot, Jamie Dornan, and Alia Bhatt — and it just got a brand-new trailer. It starts streaming on August 11th.
Stranger Things meets Sarah Connor.
We still don’t know much about season 5 of Stranger Things, but Netflix did confirm a new cast member: Terminator star Linda Hamilton. Hopefully there aren’t any robots, too.
A behind-the-scenes look at Rebel Moon.
We haven’t seen much of Zack Snyder’s upcoming sci-fi film aside from a few images, but this featurette gives a bit more insight into what the movie will be like. It starts streaming on December 22nd.
Here’s the premise:
When a peaceful colony on the edge of a galaxy finds itself threatened by the armies of a tyrannical ruling force, Kora (Sofia Boutella), a mysterious stranger living among the villagers, becomes their best hope for survival. Tasked with finding trained fighters who will unite with her in making an impossible stand against the Mother World, Kora assembles a small band of warriors — outsiders, insurgents, peasants and orphans of war from different worlds who share a common need for redemption and revenge.
As the shadow of an entire Realm bears down on the unlikeliest of moons, a battle over the fate of a galaxy is waged, and in the process, a new army of heroes is formed.
The Archies is a different take on Riverdale.
The new movie takes the iconic series and moves it to 1960s India, and — based on this new trailer — it looks like it’ll be a blast. It doesn’t have a premiere date yet, but Netflix says it’s “coming soon.”
One of Netflix’s biggest games is getting a sequel.
And you may be surprised to learn that it’s based on the reality show Too Hot to Handle. Here’s a first look. Netflix says it’ll be available to subscribers “soon.”
Money Heist continues its international expansion,
by following up a Korean spinoff with one set in Berlin. It starts streaming in December.
Some new faces for Squid Game season 2.
We still don’t know much about the second season of Netflix’s dystopic hit, but now we know four of the new cast members joining the deadly game.
More Extraction.
Extraction 2 just hit Netflix this week, but we already have confirmation that yet another one is in the works. No details yet, though, other than the return of Chris Hemsworth.
How to watch Netflix’s Tudum 2023 event
Now that a week of video game news is complete, it’s time for... streaming news.
Netflix is returning for its now-annual Tudum event, a livestream where it will showcase all of the latest news and trailers for its biggest franchises. That includes the ones that are already hits, like The Witcher, Bridgerton, and Squid Game, but also titles that we haven’t seen much of yet, including 3 Body Problem, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and One Piece. The announcements are expected to span across TV, film, and gaming.
