Netflix has almost wrapped up its annual Geeked Week event where the streaming service played host to a number of cool announcements, panels and updates related to its geek-themed content. Each day at Netflix Geeked Week was themed around something new with TV shows on Monday, movies on Tuesday and Stranger Things and gaming taking their own slots.
If anything, the whole event takes way too long so I decided to compile all the announcements you might have missed into one post. Here’s everything you might have missed during Netflix Geeked Week. Keep in mind that Geeked Week has one more day so we will add to this post once Netflix wraps up its final reveals.

Blasted looks awesome from what I could gather in the trailer. While short, the trailer goes from a wedding to a UFO invasion and I have no idea what is happening but I want more. Blasted is set to premiere on 28 June.

A new original stop motion project created by Jordan Peele is set to debut in October on Netflix. Wendell and Wild is an animated tale about scheming demon brothers who enlist the aid of 13-year-old Kat Elliot, a tough teen with a load of guilt, to summon them to the Land of the Living
