Netflix's annual Tudum event took place on Saturday (May 31), featuring announcements about some of the platform's biggest titles, including Stranger Things, Squid Game and Wednesday.
The live event, hosted by Sofia Carson, took place at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, and not only featured announcements about upcoming series and films, but also musical performances from the likes of Lady Gaga and Hanumankind.
Tudum is described by Netflix as a "global fan event" which is named after the iconic sound that plays at the start of every Netflix movie, series or live event.
The first Tudum event was held in January 2020 at the Bienal Pavilion of São Paulo, Brazil.
