“Mark your calendars for Geeked Week! From June 7th to 11th, [we] will be LIVE with big news, exciting first looks, and more from the shows and films you love,” Netflix Geeked announced in a new statement.
According to the teaser, the event will cover all things from movies to comics and anime plus even more. Shows like Lucifer, The Umbrella Academy, and The Sandman will all get time to shine along with a slew of animated titles. Cowboy Bebop will get an update as production on the live-action series wrapped a while ago. Other shows mentioned include Masters of the Universe: Revelation and Resident Evil‘s CG anime. Netflix Geeked said other series will also make appearances, so here’s to hoping we get updates on Pokemon Journeys, Sailor Moon, and The Seven Deadly Sins.
For those curious about Cowboy Bebop, well – you are right there with us. The show, which will see John Cho play Spike, got into production well before the pandemic began. However, an on-set injury forced Cowboy Bebop to take a hiatus before returning to set amidst the rise of COVID-19. With filming finished, fans are hoping to get info on the much-awaited series ASAP, so Netflix Geeked will surely make that dream a reality.
