“It’s time to admit that geeks are f***ing great,” says the new Netflix trailer for Geeked Week 2022, as if this were something they just figured out. We’re pretty sure that’s been a thing for a while now, that nobody’s had a problem admitting. But if you can get through the cringe narration, some new scenes of The Sandman emerge. And it helps remind everyone that this long-awaited series is actually a thing that’s coming soon, though we’ll probably have to wait on another full trailer till June.
Per press release, “Netflix’s home for all things genre entertainment, is back with Geeked Week ‘22….and it’s bigger than ever! The five-day virtual fan event celebrating Netflix’s genre series, films, and games returns on Monday, June 6 – Friday, June 10 with tons of your favorites. Netflix geeks can expect the latest on The Sandman, The Umbrella Academy, Manifest, Stranger Things, The Gray Man, Alice in Borderland, Day Shift, The Sea Beast and for the first time ever we’ll be sharing exclusive Netflix games. AND SO MUCH MORE!”
As Netflix well knows, fans anticipate The Sandman the most. And so they leave us with some footage of Gwendoline Christie‘s Lucifer. Take a look in the player below:
It’s taking a while to get used to Tom Sturridge’s Dream not having pure white skin like the comics. But Neil Gaiman’s on board with it, and trusting him usually feels right. As for Geeked Week, if you don’t want to watch the whole thing, rest assured that Superhero Hype will bring you the best bits.
What do you think of the footage shown? Let us know in comments.
