Netflix is one of the most popular video streaming services in the world. After five days, the company’s ‘Geeked Week’ event has finally come to an end. It was packed with various teasers and trailers and a lot of announcements.
Geeked Week ended with a live stream that was dedicated to gaming. The last day saw the first teaser trailer of the upcoming ‘The Witcher’ Season 2. The company also announced that they would hold a fan festival for the series’ fans.

Other cast members include Siena Agudong (No Good Nick), Paola Nunez (Bad Boys for Life), Ella Balinska (Charlie’s Angel) and, Adeline Rudolph (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina). Having said that, their roles have not yet been disclosed.
The well-known cartoon of the 1930’s ‘The Cuphead Show!’ was also announced with an exclusive sneak peek. Wayne Brady is the voice of King Dice. He is the soul-stealing administrator of Satan’s casino. The executive director of the show, Dave Wasson, said in an interview,

The Cuphead Show! is set to release sometime later this year.
Several shows based on video games were also announced in Geeked Week. A Castlevania spinoff set in the same timeline as the French Revolution is also underway. A League of Legends animated series called Arcane is also underway. SMITE, the popular MOBA, will make an appearance in Stranger Things. +
