And there was no bodice-ripping ‘Bridgerton’ season 4 news either
Aside from that spirited cameo by “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton story” actor Corey Mylchreest, Netflix Tudum 2025 didn’t offer much from the “Bridgerton” Cinematic Universe either.
However, fans of the Ton can’t be too pressed, as we did recently get a fresh teaser trailer for “Bridgerton’ season 4” during Netflix’s 2025 upfronts earlier this month.
Was anyone else disappointed by the lack of ‘Emily in Paris’ love?
Sure, we got a quick, silly clip of star Lily Collins (with her pre-season 5 longer locks, mind you) acting as our beloved marketing maven, humorously pitching a new promo campaign for “Stranger Things”. But other than that, Netflix Tudum 2025 saw no major updates or announcements regarding “Emily in Paris” season 5. Sacré bleu!
And with an epic Lady Gaga concert to end things, that’s our show!
Because, honestly, how could you possibly follow up a performance like that?!
Stay tuned, though, for further insights on everything that went down tonight during the Netflix Tudum 2025 live event.
Paws up, Mother Monster is here!
The “Wednesday” cast shared the audience’s clear excitement about welcoming a very special guest to both the series and the stage: the one and only Lady Gaga, who pulled out her gothic best during a medley of her songs “Zombieboy”, “Bloody Mary” and “Abracadabra”, along with The Cramp’s “Goo Goo Muck” and, of course, “The Addams Family” theme song.
Check back to see a full video of Lady Gaga’s live performance ASAP.
The ‘Wednesday’ cast gives a 6-minute sneak peek at the ‘fresh horror’ to come in season 2
“It’s been an eventful summer,” Jenna Ortega’s character Wednesday Addams announces in the first six minutes of “Wednesday” season 2, which Ortega and the rest of the cast debuted during this evening’s Tudum showcase. Proving that the show hasn’t lost a drop of its dark humor, the goth teen quickly adds: “I’m tied up in a serial killer’s basement.” And it looks like that serial killer will be played by none other than “The Sixth Sense” great Haley Joel Osment.
Misery loves company, so gather your moodiest pals in excitement for the upcoming season, scheduled to hit Netflix in two parts on August 6 and September 3, respectively. We think you’ll enjoy the experience way more than Wednesday enjoys going through airport security lines!
And, yes, we got an epic ‘Stranger Things’ season 5 release date announcement, too
The final season of “Stranger Things” will be a big one: a three-parter, in fact.
Along with a high-octane new teaser, the show’s Netflix Tudum 2025 segment revealed the release dates of each installment of the final season: Volume one will drop on November 26 at 5pm PT, volume two on December 25 at 5pm PT and volume three on December 31 at 5pm PT.
Consider your holiday plans set!
The ‘Stranger Things’ kiddos show sweet throwback videos of the show’s beginning
In case you want to immediately feel old, “Stranger Things” actors Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapps and Caleb McLaughlin took to the Tudum stage to share some adorable behind-the-scenes clips from the sci-fi hit’s early days. (If you need an IRL marker of how much time has gone by since the first season, lead actress Millie Bobby Brown is an actual married woman at this point.)
Gaten Matarazzo, who couldn’t be there live at the Tudum event, videoed in to share this one of his favorite on-set memories was filming the graveyard “Dear Billy” scene.
Brown also videoed in from “the void” (i.e. the set of “Enola Holmes”) to reveal that her own personal fave was the scene where Eleven mind-controls the helicopter in that heart-racing scene in season 4.
The new ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ trailer shows that the Happy-Shooter rivalry is still on
As anticipated, a fresh full-length trailer for the long-awaited “Happy Gilmore” sequel is officially here, announced by original cast mates Adam Sandler, Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald during tonight’s Tudum showcase.
Move over MCU, we’re ready for the Sarah Carson Universe!
With her fifth movie set for Netflix, we’re officially entering the “Sarah Carson Universe” — the Netflix Tudum 2025 host will next be seen in the romantic title “My Oxford Year” for the streamer.
And keeping with the tradition of having a hunky co-star (Carson cutely name-dropped Taron, Nicholas, Wolfgang and Kyle), the actress announced that she will be joined by “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story” heartthrob Corey Mylchreest, who showed up alongside Carson onstage to announce that “My Oxford Year” will hit Netflix on August 1, 2025.
Guillermo del Toro, Oscar Isaac and Mia Goth share the new ‘Frankenstein’ trailer
If there’s anyone we trust to bring an excellently spooky “Frankenstein” adaptation to the big screen, it’s Guillermo del Toro!
Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Cookie Monster tease the crime drama ‘The Rip’
After a cookie-filled cameo from The Cookie Monster, big-screen best buddies Ben Affleck and Matt Damon rose from the Netflix “N” to crowd cheers and lots of iPhone-camera flashing to introduce their new crime drama “The Rip”, which if coming to the streamer on January 16, 2027.
Joined by fellow “The Rip” castmates Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor and Catalina Sandino Moreno, the actors explain that a “rip” is something you pull from a crime scene. In the film’s case, it’s cash, and a lot of it.
And speaking of ripping, the famous buds hilariously ripped into each other during the presentation of a never-before-seen clip of the upcoming film (alas, Netflix hasn’t published the video online), which channels some of their favorite movies, including “Heat” and “Training Day”. “Ben would turn on all of these guys for a cookie,” Matt quipped, with Affleck biting back about his bushy-bearded pal: “I trusted Matt would shave the beard before Tudum but here we are!”
Straw Hats, it’s time to meet Tony Tony Chopper from ‘One Piece’ season 2!
“One Piece” fans got a sweet look back at adventures past during the Netflix Tudum 2025 event, as well as exciting peeks on all of the “big” things to expect next. And that includes an adorable introduction to Tony Tony Chopper, who will be voiced in the new season by Mikaela Hoover.
“The biggest thing we get to tell you: you know what’s up, the crew gets a little bigger this season”, actor Iñaki Godoy teased to the screaming audience “And we get to introduce you to him right now. The reindeer you always wanted: Tony Tony Chopper.”
Cast members from Ginny & Georgia, Outer Banks and more commemorate the history-making event
Netflix Tudum 2025 is the first time the event is being held in the United States (taking place in Los Angeles at the Kia Forum) and streamed live on Netflix.
And to celebrate, the streamer brought out the stars of some of its biggest and most beloved titles, including “Ginny & Georgia”, “Outer Banks”, “Forever” and “My Life with the Walter Boys”. Led by lead Pogue Chase Stokes, the actors all came together sweetly for a “class photo” to commemorate the momentous occasion.
Daniel Craig, Glenn Close and Kerry Washington with a T-shirt gun tease the new ‘Knives Out’ sequel film
“I love a good surprise,” director Rian Johnson takes the stage to begin the “Wake Up Dead Man” segment. “We strive to keep the audience guessing, so just when you think you have it figured it, something comes along that you weren’t expecting”.
Enter Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Cailee Spaeny, a T-shirt gun-wielding Kerry Washington, a double T-shirt gun-wielding Jeremy Renner and seven-time Academy Award nominee Glenn Close, who calls in from her car to tell everyone that she’s actually “eight-time Academy Award nominee Glenn Close”.
But that’s not all: “Daniel Craig was supposed to be doing these lines and he couldn’t be here,” Johnson announces, before the man himself comes out to announce an exclusive sneak peek of the movie. In the new teaser, we see Craig and Josh O’Conner in a church, with Mila Kunis as law enforcement investigation a crime.
“This is the holy grail,” Craig’s Benoit declares. “This was dressed as a miracle It’s just a murder And I solve murders”. We’ll see how it all plays out when “Wake Up Dead Man” premieres on Netflix on December 12, 2025!
The ‘Squid Game’ cast introduces a brand-new trailer for season 3
After Hanumankind performed alongside the show’s signature pink guards, the cast of “Squid Game” (led by Lee Jung-jae and Lee Byung-hun) took to the stage to tease the upcoming final installment of the South Korean sensation. “This huge reaction is so amazing, we’re so happy to see all of you in one place,” Byung-hun announced.
And though Lee Jung-jae, who plays Player 456 in the series, nearly slipped up with a spoiler (“I’m not saying anything else!”), the actors did give some fresh details, including a brand-new trailer that looks like Gi-hun will be put through the ringer in the new episodes. “Why didn’t you kill me? Why did you keep me alive?” we see him roaring to guards.
Along with flashes of bloody corpses, jump rope games and murderous dolls, the trailer spotlights a final showdown between Gi-hun and Front Man, with the former bloodied and dressed in a tuxedo. Check out the new clip below!
Host Sofia Carson ticks off her “Life List” and descends upon Netflix Tudum 2025
Our big show opening sees host Sofia Carson parody her recent Netflix hit “The Life List”, as she ticks off several bucket-list activities like dancing “like Nicole Kidman is watching” and saving the world from an explosive suitcase à la Taron Egerton in “Carry-On“.
However, her on-screen mom Connie Briton reminds her that she still has one item left on her list: “Fly!” Thus, Carson does her best “Mission Impossible” and descends from the ceiling of the Tudum 2025 ceremonies dressed in a tuxedo.
“Tonight is for you, because this is the place where the biggest stars on Netflix get to connect with you!” our host announces to the excited studio audience, citing A-listers like Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Jenna Ortega, Lady Gaga and more among the evening’s high-profile attendees. Let the show officially begin!
The show is about to start — Netflix Tudum 2025 begins in ten minutes!
Netflix Tudum 2025 is kicking off at 8pm Eastern Time, which means this is your last call for bathroom breaks, snack runs, dog walks and the like.
There’s a lot to come from the streamer this evening, so sit back and get comfortable — Tom’s Guide is here to, well, guide you through all of the Netflix news as it happens live. Let’s get into it!
Are you ready to reenter the ‘Squid Game’? Here’s what’s in store for season 3
It’s been a good time as of late to be a “Squid Game” fan — there’s been a lot of news dropping recently ahead of the third and, sadly, final season of the South Korean dystopian hit. For one, we know that the new episodes will premiere on Netflix on Friday, June 27, and that season 3 will have six episodes in total, down one from its previous installment.
“Squid Game” fans also got an official teaser of the new season earlier this month, picking up in the aftermath of season 2’s bloody cliffhanger:
What challenges will Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) and Co. face in their struggles to shut down the torturous games for once and for all? Netflix subscribers will likely get to hear even more chilling revelations about exactly how brutal this final chapter of the story will be during the soon-to-start Tudum event.
‘Happy Gilmore 2’ will be swinging onto Netflix this July — here’s what we know so far
Get ready for more hilarious hijinks on the golf green — “Happy Gilmore” is back in a soon-to-come sequel, which is scheduled to hit Netflix on July 25, 2025.
Along with a set release date, fans of the original sports comedy (which sees Adam Sandler play a titular hockey player-turned-competitive golfer) also already got to see a full-length teaser trailer for “Happy Gilmore 2”, which will have Sandler reunite on screen with several O.G. cast members, including Julie Bowen as Happy’s longtime love Virginia Venit and Christopher McDonald as his golf nemesis Shooter McGavin.
Those familiar faces will be joined by franchise newcomers including Bad Bunny, Ben Stiller, Travis Kelce and Sandler’s own daughters Sadie and Sunny, along with IRL professional golfers like Jordan Spieth and Jack Nicklaus.
Given how much of a fan-favorite the 1996 comedy is, we’re sure that some special insights about the long-awaited sequel film will tee off tonight during the live Netflix event.
Will we be saying ‘Ciao!’ to an ‘Emily in Paris’ season 5 trailer and release date at Netflix Tudum 2025?
Season five of “Emily in Paris” sees a lot of change ahead for our titular heroine: Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) is switching up her hometown (benvenuti a Roma!), her hot beau (she’s now dating Italian cashmere heir Marcello Muratori, played by Eugenio Franceschini) and even her haircut in the fifth installment of the (usually) French-set romantic comedy series.
Plus, joining returning favorites like Mindy (Ashley Park), Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu), we’ll also have some new character to meet in season 5, including Oscar-nominated actress Minnie Driver as Princess Jane, a friend of Sylvie’s who married into a royal family.
However, “Emily in Paris” fans are still missing key points of intel regarding the upcoming fifth season, including the official release date, a full-length trailer and some fun Italian production stills. Here’s hoping there’s plenty of la dolce vita to go around during the “Emily in Paris” segment of Netflix Tudum 2025.
What’s next for ‘Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery’ after that cryptic recent teaser?
Fans of Rian Johnson’s “Knives Out” film franchise (which includes 2019’s “Knives Out” and its 2022 sequel “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery”) have been waiting with bated breath for a deeper look into the upcoming third title of the murder-mystery movie series, especially after that deliberately vague teaser dropped earlier this week.
The mysterious new clip for “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery” — which will see Daniel Craig reprise the role of investigator Benoit Blanc, joined by a splashy ensemble that includes Josh O’Connor, Josh Brolin, Glenn Close, Jeremy Renner, Cailee Spaeny and Kerry Washington — opens on a gloomy church, with bells ringing louder and louder until the screen cuts to black. The caption reads: “The wicked desire the stronghold of evildoers, but the root of the righteous endures.”
It’s not a whole lot to go off on, but we’ll surely get more extensive reveals during tonight’s Tudum event. Maybe the mystery of exactly when fans can watch “Wake Up Dead Man” on Netflix will get solved!
We already know ‘Wednesday’ season 2’s release date — what other fresh intel will we get at Tudum 2025?
Calling all outcasts! “Wednesday” will return for another season of supernatural adventures this summer in a two-part premiere, with four episodes debuting on August 6 and another four to follow on September 3.
Fans of the spooky mystery-comedy — which stars Jenna Ortega as the titular Addams girl — have also already gotten to see a teaser trailer of what’s to come for Wednesday, roommate Enid (Emma Myers), frenemy Bianca (Joy Sunday) and the rest of the Nevermore Academy gang.
And we already know that there will be several fresh faces joining the main cast this season, including Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter and Noah B. Taylor. And yes, pop icon Lady Gaga is also set to cameo in season 2, though specific details about Mother Monster’s role are still under wraps.
So, what can we hope for “Wednesday”-wise from the Tudum 2025 event? Potentially, a new full-length trailer, exciting plot points, behind-the-scenes details, insights on how filming season 2 differed from its predecessor and plenty more gloomy goodness. Stay tuned!
Will Tudum 2025 address that mysterious ‘Stranger Things’ audio? Plus, what else to expect from the Upside Down
For fans of “Stranger Things”, Tudum 2025 is going to be a must-see event — with the Duffer Brothers’ sci-fi juggernaut set to premiere its fifth and final season this year, there’s certainly going to be plenty to talk about where the Upside Down is concerned.
And given that longtime fans of Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), Will (Noah Schnapps) and the rest of the Hawkins crew still don’t have an official release date for the new episodes — nor trailers and clips teasing what’s to come in the series’ last chapter — excitement is high to see what updates the creators and cast member unveil during tonight’s live event.
Speaking of updates, a viral audio clip linked to “Stranger Things” season 5 dropped on May 30 ahead of Netflix’s Tudum event, a grainy mix of loud bangs, radio status, muffled voices and other disturbing noises that has generated much speculation among fans about the significance of the eerie sounds therein. Is the cryptic 30-second clip connected to Vecna, the murderous big bad portrayed by Jamie Campbell Bower and formerly known as Henry Creel?
“Stranger Things” fans will likely get insights into what that creepy new audio clip is all about during tonight’s fandom event, as well as other titillating tidbits that will hopefully hold them over until the fifth and final season of the horror hit premieres on Netflix later this year. Check back here to find out all the latest “Stranger Things” news coming out of the Tudum 2025 event!
