(Reuters) -Netflix said on Tuesday it will launch a third themed entertainment venue in 2027, this time in Las Vegas, as the company looks to broaden its brand presence and profile beyond streaming.
The "Netflix House" allows fans to immerse themselves in the worlds of their favorite shows and movies and will include themed gift shops featuring exclusive merchandise and restaurants.
The streaming giant's latest initiative enables it to generate additional revenue and diversify its business model, increasing customer loyalty and strengthening Netflix's market position by innovating in the entertainment space.
The first two Netflix Houses will open in Philadelphia at King of Prussia Mall and in Dallas at Galleria Dallas in late 2025.
"This is fandom coming to life, where you can actually step inside the worlds you've been watching and loving for years," marketing chief Marian Lee said.
The location in Philadelphia will debut experiences based on popular titles called "Wednesday: Eve of the Outcasts" and "ONE PIECE: Quest for the Devil Fruit."
The Dallas venue will house immersive experiences titled "Stranger Things: Escape the Dark" and "Squid Game: Survive the Trials."

Tennis-Sinner and singer Bocelli strike up partnership for new single

Jun 8, 2025; Paris, FR; Jannik Sinner of Italy returns a shot during the men's singles final against Carlos Alcaraz of Spain on day 15 at Roland Garros Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Susan Mullane-Imagn Images/File Photo (Reuters) -World number one Jannik Sinner has formed a new doubles partnership but the duo will be battling for chart success rather than Grand Slam titles after the Italian released a single with compatriot and opera tenor Andrea Bocelli on Friday. The three-time Grand Slam champion Sinner promoted the song titled 'Polvere e Gloria' or 'Dust and Glory' on Instagram. The video features footage from the pair's childhoods and more recent clips of the singer and Sinner, clutching a racket and tennis ball, in front of a piano in Bocelli's home in Tuscany. Sinner's speeches form part of the song, which is in Italian and English, with Bocelli in full flow. "Every life is a potential work of art: each of us bears the sweet responsibility of nurturing our talents in the daily acrobatics of living, pursuing our dreams while remaining steadfastly true to our values," the pair wrote on Instagram. "This duet is such a bold leap that it has ignited our passion, born of shared and unwavering desire to express our deep belief that nothing is impossible." Sinner, the U.S. Open and Australian Open champion, said he was honoured to be part of the project with Bocelli, describing the singer as a "unique and extraordinary voice" and "a flag for our country in the rest of the world". "I could never have imagined hearing my voice in one of his songs. It's extremely moving," the 23-year-old added. Sinner, who was beaten by Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz in an epic French Open final earlier this month, lost in the last 16 of the Halle Open on Thursday in a blow to his preparations for Wimbledon which gets underway on June 30.

By 2026, US adults will spend even less time watching TV

Television is increasingly losing its place as a favorite in US homes. —/AFP Relaxnews Traditional television is continuing to lose ground in the United States. According to the latest projections, by 2026, American adults will devote only 39% of their daily screen time to linear television. This decline confirms the profound shift in usage, driven by streaming, mobility and people's changing relationship with screens. For decades, traditional television has set the pace for North American evenings. Today, it is slowly slipping into the background. According to Statista, the time US adults spend watching traditional television each day will account for only 39% of their screen use in 2026. This gradual but relentless decline, which began several years ago, shows no signs of slowing. A diversity of screens This decline doesn't mean that Americans are spending less time on screens. Quite the opposite. Smartphones, tablets and computers have taken over, driven by an ever richer, more fluid, and more mobile offering of on-demand content. "Young people around the world have been especially quick to adopt smartphone-based video streaming habits meaning that television screen time will likely fall even further in the future," explains Statista. Whether it's watching a Netflix show on the subway, a TikTok video between meetings or a YouTube documentary in bed, viewing habits have changed. While younger generations are the quickest to abandon conventional linear television, they are no longer alone. Even the over-50s are increasingly turning to streaming services. This transformation is also reflected in subscriptions. In 2019, over 80 million American households still subscribed to a cable or satellite TV service. In 2028, there will be just 40.8 million, Statista estimates – dropping by half in less than 10 years. – AFP Relaxnews
