The
streaming giant assembled actors including Jenna Ortega, Oscar
Isaac, Lee Jung-jae, Drew Starkey, Sofia Carson, Kerry
Washington, Steven Yeun, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck for its
annual Tudum event Saturday in Inglewood, Calif. Musical
performances bookended the show, with Hanumankind opening with
“Run It Up” and Gaga closing with a medley and the announcement
of her latest acting gig.
The event is named “Tudum” after the audio cue that accompanies
the Netflix's N logo in its trailers and at the start of its
programming.
'Squid Game' Season 3
A bloody trailer for the final season of “Squid Game”
accompanied the announcement that the show's third season will
begin streaming June 27. The South Korean series about a brutal
competition where adults face death while playing children's
games was one of the pandemic's breakout hits and made an
international star of Lee Jung-jae, who became the first Asian
man to win an Emmy for best drama actor.
'Stranger Things' final episodes
The fifth and final season of “Stranger Things” will be parceled
out over the winter holidays, with four episodes dropping Nov.

New Year's Eve. A new trailer highlights the history of the
Duffer brothers' nostalgia-soaked sci-fi, which over the past
nine years has made stars out of Millie Bobby Brown, Sadie Sink,
Joseph Quinn, David Harbour and Finn Wolfhard. The trailer
teases a final confrontation with Vecna, concluding with Noah
Schnapp's Will Byers' character yelling “RUN!”

Netflix unveiled the first six minutes of the second season of
“Wednesday,” featuring Ortega's Wednesday Addams getting a
helping hand from Thing as she confronts a serial killer played
by Haley Joel Osment. Gaga's first acting gig since last year's
“Joker: Folie a Deux” will be playing teacher Rosaline Rotwood
at Addams' school Nevermore. The first part of “Wednesday”
season 2 lands on Aug. 6, and the second half will be released
Sept. 3.
