    Some eggcellent news.

    Not only is Netflix bringing back Chicken Run in movie form — Dawn 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).

    Here comes the cube.

    Fortnite’s beloved cube Kevin has returned as part of the current season, which is exploring the battle royale’s early history. You can see it levitating an island over Loot Lake right now — here’s my report from way back in 2018 about Kevin’s eventual fate.

    Smells like teen spirit.

    The upcoming sequel to Pixar’s Inside Out explores the scariest thing of all: teenage emotions. You can get a taste of that in the new teaser trailer, which introduces a new character named Anxiety, played by Maya Hawke. Inside Out 2 hits theaters in June 2024.

    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.
