Notice a magical glow around Atlanta this week? As viewers are flooded with more content than ever before, Netflix is bringing stars and fandoms together at Geeked Week 2024.

The gathering is something of a citywide Comic-Con filled to the brim with events for mega-fans of the streaming giant’s most iconic originals. And while Netflix has been recently diving even deeper into the live event space with the opening of its experiential entertainment venues, dubbed “Netflix House,” next year, Geeked Week is celebrating its fourth year of existence this week. The lineup of events taking place across The Big Peach includes themed trivia, an area to get Netflix-inspired tattoos and an early fan screening of “Twilight of the Gods” (set to premiere on the streamer Thursday) with co-creator/executive producer Zack Snyder.

To honor and give back to those that have been showing their love of these franchises for years, Netflix is inducting fans for the first time into its Geeked Hall of Fandom. The official winners won’t be unveiled until later this week, but the Netflix Geeked X account has been highlighting creators and artwork all week long.

The entire week culminates in a live fan event on Thursday at The Atlanta Dairies’ Eastern theater. Kicking off at 8pm ET, the showcase is a two-hour extravaganza with everything from sneak peeks, news and, of course, a number of surprises. Joe Mangianello of “Deal or No Deal Island” will host the event and “Cobra Kai” stars Xolo Maridueña and Jacob Bertrand will assist him as correspondents on the scene. The lineup is star-studded to say the least with appearances slated from the stars of “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” “Black Mirror,” ‘The Sandman,” “One Piece,” and beyond.

Missed out on tickets to the live event? Well, it’s true that you may miss out on some of the fun, but Netflix is livestreaming the event on its YouTube page and on Twitch. Tune in 30 minutes early and you can watch a live game of Red Light, Green Light. Internet viewers get to interact as well, trying to eliminate players and earn prizes.
