What can we expect from Netflix Geeked Week?
It does take you a few minutes to recognize all the clues in the poster. But once you do, you can not help but be excited about this event. Some of the major projects teased by Netflix in the poster are.
The Umbrella Academy
Season 3 of The Umbrella Academy is teased by an umbrella and a sparrow. Geeked Week 2022 will come at the perfect moment. Elliot Page‘s comeback to Netflix is set for June 22, just a few weeks after the event. For that window, a large trailer makes a lot of sense.
Stranger Things
A big red skull wearing a Hellfire Club baseball cap is largely a sign for those who have been paying particularly careful attention to Stranger Things. The Hellfire Club was the title of the opening episode of the new season of Stranger Things, a reference to Hawkins’ Dungeons & Dragons organization. A 20-sided die reinforces the tidbit.
A white outline of a walkie-talkie with a speech bubble popping out of it is a more subtle nod to Stranger Things. It makes sense for Netflix to focus so heavily on Stranger Things after its trailer has been doing so well.
Resident Evil
The pair of tablets is the next clear hint on the poster. Each has The Umbrella Corporation’s logo from the Resident Evil games on it.
This is most likely a reference to the live-action Resident Evil Netflix series, which will premiere on July 14th, a little over a month later. It would be best if there was a debut trailer for the series.
Locke and Key
