Projects from across the Netflix universe had a presence, with stars from movies and television shows doing interactive audience segments or presenting new materials from their upcoming drops. Sofia Carson hosted the event, and many came out to get a sneak peek, as there were some surprises in the room that weren't on the Netflix livestream of the show. Casts from Outer Banks, Forever, My Life with the Walter Boys, Ginny & Georgia and more were on hand to appear to fans, while folks from upcoming Netflix projects talked about what's to come and debut trailers and more. Here are the highlights: To open the event, the pink guards from the show took part in a dance performance, then stars Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Park Sung-hoon, Kang Ae-sim and Choi Seung-hyun came out to present the Season 3 trailer.

Josh O'Connor, Andrew Scott and Thomas Haden Church also star. The film also revealed its Dec. 12 release date on Netflix. We still don't know too much about the plot of the film, which shares the name of a U2 song, but the sneak peek for the film did suggest that this one may perhaps have a more sinister tone than the previous movie, or maybe that's what they want us to think? Who knows! One Piece stars Iñaki Godoy, Mackenyu, Emily Rudd, Jacob Romero and Taz Skylar brought out an exclusive preview for Season 2 of the series, which premieres in 2026. The announcement also included the reveal of Tony Tony Chopper, and that Mikaela Hoover will be voicing the character.

The film logline reads, 'As a team of Miami cops whose trust begins to fray upon the discovery of millions in cash in a derelict stash house, everything is called into question, including who they can rely on.' The film drops Jan 16, 2026. The Rip teaser trailer has not dropped online yet, as it was only shown for those in the room. Director Guillermo del Toro and stars Oscar Isaac and Mia Goth were on hand to debut the teaser trailer for Frankenstein. Star Jacob Elordi could not be in attendance, but appeared via video message. Del Toro 'adapts Mary Shelley's classic tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist who brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.' The film also stars Felix Kammerer, David Bradley, Lars Mikkelsen, Christian Convery, with Charles Dance and Christoph Waltz. After its earlier teaser trailer debut, the full trailer for Happy Gilmore 2 debuted at Tudum.

Netflix 'Tudum' fan event reflects studio investment global streaming
LOS ANGELES, June 5 (Reuters) - Netflix (NFLX.O), opens new tab continues to add more live content for viewers hungry for real-time entertainment, including the Tyson vs. Paul boxing match, National Football League games and, most recently, the "Tudum" live fan event that showcased upcoming TV shows. "This is the first time we've done the show in this way, a live format," Shelly Gillyard, VP of Series Marketing for the U.S. and Canada, told Reuters at the Netflix Tudum fan event last Saturday. "Previous years was on the ground fan activations," Gillyard added. Tudum is named after the sound that plays before each Netflix movie and series. For Netflix, is was important to ensure that they were incorporating talent from all over the world for the global fan event. More than 100 Netflix stars and creators appeared in the show hosted by actor Sofia Carson, who starred in the airport thriller "Carry On". The first two Tudum events took place in São Paulo, Brazil, in 2020 and in 2023. However, for 2025, it was relocated to Los Angeles, California. The 2020 Netflix Tudum in Brazil drew 50,000 people in four days and the post-COVID numbers for the 2023 Brazil Tudum were 35,000. Gillyard said the live event could take place somewhere else in the future and Netflix is focused less on where it is held and more on making it available globally. With major titles like "Squid Game," "Stranger Things," "Wednesday," and "Emily in Paris," combined with a performance by Lady Gaga, the streamer capitalized on fan interest. One of the largest draws for viewers was the premiere date announcements for Emmy award-winning series "Stranger Things." The livestreamed event revealed that 'Stranger Things' will have a fifth and final season split into three parts, with part one on November 26, 2025, part two on December 25, 2025 and the series finale on December 31, 2025.
