What is Geeked Week?
Geek Week is the annual celebration of the intellectual properties that Netflix works with to create shows and other media.
Previous updates during Geeked Week included Henry Cavill’s take on the much-loved Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, and the One Piece adaptation, which also came to live-action last year.
The news also broke that Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft will be released on October 10. In this personal adventure tale, the dungeon-dwelling English heroine must recover an artifact stolen from Croft Manor, and the explorer must travel the globe to get it back.
Creator and showrunner Tasha Huo said of the take on the gaming icon, “We’re trying to build Lara’s team. Over the course of the show, she goes from an isolated hero, a lone wolf, to someone who realizes, ‘Actually, I have this really cool team behind me.’ ”
Joe Manganiello, of True Blood and Dungeons and Dragons fame, hosted this 2024 show and told the world he would play Mr. O in One Piece Season Two.

He said, “Thank you [Elichiro] Oda, thank you to the fans — to be trusted with one of the greatest characters ever in manga, fantasy, you name it — I’ve been waiting for this my entire career. And to do it in front of a fanbase like this? Let’s go!”
He announced the news alongside Cobra Kai TV show stars Jacob Bertrand and Xolo Maridueña.
Manganiello introduced Charlie Brooker, who announced to fans the next season of Black Mirror. He told fans: “We have evolved to a place where it’s kind of OG Black Mirror this season. It’s all sci-fi, it’s all techno dystopia — back to basics in a way.”
