Come on over to the dark side.

It’s hard to know what to expect from an animated Dreamworks film written by Charlie Kaufman (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Being John Malkovich), but the first trailer for Netflix’s Orion and the Dark looks surprisingly... normal. Maybe that’ll change when we see the full movie, which starts streaming in February.

Some eggcellent news.

Not only is Netflix bringing back Chicken Run in movie formDawn of the Nugget starts streaming on December 15th — but we’re getting a game as well. Eggstraction will be, well, an extraction game. Only with chickens. Netflix says it’ll be available to subscribers “soon.”

How sweet it is.

We previously only had a brief look at the brutality that awaits in season 2 of the post-apocalyptic series Sweet Home, but now there’s a more in-depth trailer to check out. The new season drops on December 1st, and it moves things out of the Green Home apartment building into the wider world.

Time for a heist.

As part of its ongoing gaming push, Netflix announced an adaptation of another of its big properties: Money Heist. It’s part of the streamer’s new line of choice-driven narrative games.

A strategy game based on Shadow & Bone was also announced — and it’s out for Netflix subscribers starting today.

It’s almost time to geek out for a bit.

So far Netflix’s Geeked Week has been a bunch of small teases spaced out through the week. But today things are different: there’s an actual stream you can watch, starting at 4PM ET, and it’s expected to feature the first proper trailer for the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series. You can watch it all go down in the embed below (or on Twitch, if you prefer).

Those eyes.

We already knew that Netflix was working on a CG-animated Ultraman movie, but the new image released during Geeked Week today gives a good sense of the scale that’ll be on display in Ultraman: Rising when it starts streaming next year. Even better: we’re getting an actual trailer during tomorrow’s portion of the event.

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.

Stranger Things on stage.

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.
