THE LEGEND OF ARCANE CONTINUES

Good news for fans of Arcane (2021), the animated TV series based on the League of Legends video game: seasons two of Arcane is officially... a few seasons. Three acts of the animated fantasy anthology, spanning backstory, present and future, is being released on Nov 9, 16, and 23 this year, respectively. The new clip reveals Vi will be continuing her quest, and fans are eager for what’s next for our legend.

NETFLIX CRAFTS THE LEGEND OF ADAPTIVE MASTERY

The Netflix Original treatment for robust franchises isn’t going any time soon: the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender cast Mia Cech as Toph Beifong for the run of Season 2; Devil May Cry revealed a glimpse at September 2025’s trailer with their demon hunter Dante; and the Castlevania: Nocturne universe will expand with Season 2 in Jan 2025 after what was (almost) a perfect season 1 rating.

THE LEGEND OF GAMING AND ANIMATION SYNERGY

It’s a reminder that Netflix isn’t just about series and movies – it’s moving into gaming territory too. Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft will make its animated debut on 10 October. It’s billed as the next chapter in the iconic heroine’s saga. Meanwhile, Netflix continues to bring video game worlds to life with the animated series Splinter Cell: Deathwatch and an upcoming game called Rebel Moon that blurs the lines between play and viewing.

THE LEGENDS OF TOMORROW: UNVEILING WHAT'S NEXT

Netflix Geeked Week also teased content further down the line: the second season of Wednesday and Sam Raimi’s Don’t Move, both released in 2025, already had teasers included. A variety of fresher releases were also announced, such as The Remarkable Life of Ibelin, a grand CGI fantasy with the voice of Edward Norton, and Sakamoto Days, a twisted fantasy anime set in Tokugawa Japan. These add to Netflix’s vast international collection of diverse content to watch.

THE LEGEND OF SERIALIZED STORYTELLING

That kind of serialized storytelling is at the core of the Netflix strategy, exemplified by titles based on the Wereworld novels: The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep (2014) and Wolf King (2021). Besides the promise of a great-sounding story, these titles signal Netflix’s commitment to developing long-form storytelling – the kind that creates worlds.

EXPLORING THE LEGEND OF NETFLIX'S EVOLUTION

By preparing to adapt, create original content, animate and also attempt to gamify itself, Netflix used Geeked Week 2024 to lay down more foundational pillars to the legend it is creating for itself in many forms of media, whether we are talking about Carpool Karaoke, Emo Girl, a new reboot of Unsolved Mysteries, a prequel to The Witcher, or a sequel to The Dark Crystal. This was the news, yet it was also a playing, testing and propositioning of the legend itself.

And because the streaming service was unabashedly able to combine the old world of viewership with the new world of interactivity, it’s emerged as a leader in this new space – and we’re not just witnessing this history in the making, we’re participating in it. We’re part of this thing! We’re helping to rewire the way we consume, the way we participate, and the very way we tell stories in the age of the internet. Netflix Geeked Week 2024 was a peek behind a veil that’s hiding our own future, one where we don’t just get to hear legends retold – we get to become them.
