Netflix’s Geeked Week goes live in Atlanta this September

A new chapter for Netflix’s fan event

Netflix is transforming its virtual Geeked Week fan event into a tangible experience with its first-ever in-person component in Atlanta this September. This marks a significant evolution for the event, which has traditionally been an online affair.

Event details and schedule

The entire Geeked Week celebration will span from September 16 to September 19. While the majority of the festivities, including TV, film, and gaming news, will continue to be hosted online, the event will culminate with a live, in-person gathering in Atlanta on the evening of the final day. Specific details about the venue for this in-person show are yet to be disclosed.

A brief history of Geeked Week

First launched by Netflix in 2021, Geeked Week has quickly become a staple for fans of the streaming giant’s most popular genres. This fourth annual edition is particularly noteworthy as it introduces a live component, a first for the event. Netflix describes Geeked Week as a celebration of its “biggest global fandoms” and “most beloved Geeked titles.”

Expanding the fan experience

This move to include an in-person event follows several other live experiences organized by Netflix.
