Tudum, Netflix’s first-ever global fan event, is almost here. The three-hour long virtual event takes place Saturday, September 25, so what can we expect when it arrives in less than 24 hours time?
Well, it’ll bring a whole host of announcements, trailers, cast reveals and more for original movies and TV shows that will arrive on the streaming giant later this year and beyond. It’s going to be a packed but fun time for all, so we imagine that you’ll want to know more about Tudum ahead of its weekend showing.
Below, we’ve rounded up everything you need to know ahead of Netflix’s Tudum event. That includes its official date and start time, which films and TV series will be part of its line-up, where you can watch it and more. Are you ready? Great, let’s take a look together. Tuduuuuum.
Netflix’s Tudum start date: what time does it begin?
Tudum’s three-hour fan celebration takes place on Saturday, September 25 at 9AM PST / 12PM EST / 5PM BST / 9:30PM IST / 1AM JST and KST.
US and UK viewers will have no issues with Tudum’s timing, but fans based in India, Japan and South Korea might have to stay up a little later than you usually do.
Netflix has also announced that a special pre-event show (highlighting Korean and Indian productions) will begin at 5AM PST / 8AM EST / 1PM BST/ 5:30PM IST / 9PM JST and KST, too. So if you don’t want to stay up past your bedtime in India, Japan or South Korea, you can catch some announcements before you call it a night.

However, fans shouldn’t expect to get a new trailer or teaser for every property listed above. Netflix has stated that we’ll be the first to “hear breaking news and see first looks, new trailers and exclusive clips during interactive panels and conversations with the creators and stars from Netflix”.
If something like Stranger Things season 4 doesn’t get a first official trailer or confirmed release date, don’t stress. It’s best to manage your expectations now, rather than be left feeling disappointed this weekend. And who knows? Netflix might surprise you if you don’t work yourself up over what you hope to see.
