Netflix released a flurry of announcements and trailers around high-profile projects including \u201cSquid Game,\u201d \u201cWednesday,\u201d and \u201cStranger Things 5\u201d last night at its annual Tudum marketing event.<\/p>\n
While this year\u2019s Tudum (made for the sound that plays when you open the app) was livestreamed for the first time on Netflix itself (as opposed to YouTube), The Los Angeles Times reports<\/a> that 9,500 fans gathered in-person at the Kia Forum in Southern California, hoping to see their favorite stars \u2014 including Lady Gaga, who performed at the event and will be guest-starring on \u201cWednesday.\u201d<\/p>\n Chief Marketing Officer Marian Lee boasted that no other studio would be able to \u201call those fans in a room together, WWE fans next to \u2018Knives Out\u2019 fans next to Lady Gaga fans for \u2018Wednesday.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat is something only Netflix can do,\u201d Lee said.<\/p>\n As for the announcements, the biggest might be that \u201cStranger Things 5\u201d \u2014 the nostalgia-driven horror show\u2019s final season \u2014 will air in three<\/em> parts, starting on November 26, with the finale released on New Year\u2019s Eve. Although I\u2019m probably most excited about Guillermo del Toro\u2019s new version of \u201cFrankenstein,\u201d also set to release in November.<\/p>\n \n
