Update: well, that was slightly disappointing, wasn't it? We expected more than a three-minute-long trailer that basically told us what we already knew about Netflix's 2024 line-up, but that's all we received.
There are some interesting tidbits hidden within, to be fair – the first footage from Squid Game season 2, The Umbrella Academy season 4, and Bridgerton season 3 being the most notable. But we didn't get any official release dates for the first two (Bridgerton returns in two parts this May and June, FYI) or any other major news on the rest. Watch the trailer below if you're interested in seeing said footage, anyway.
Original story follows.
The first big virtual Netflix event of 2024 is almost here. Dubbed 'Next on Netflix', the streaming giant plans to reveal more details about its highly anticipated line-up of movies and TV shows for the year ahead – and we'll be on hand to cover the most important news that'll drop once it arrives
Ahead of Next on Netflix 2024, we imagine you'll want to know when it'll begin, what Netflix Originals – new and incredibly popular ones – we'll learn more about during the event, where you can stream it, and more. Below, we've rounded up the key information you need to know about the world's best streaming service's first shindig of the year, so you'll know when and where to tune in.

As for its runtime, we aren't sure how long it'll run for. We don't think it'll be a multi-hour event along the lines of Netflix Tudum, but we don't expect it to be just a 10-minute-long trailer that's packed with announcements, either. Like you, then, we're in the dark on this front.
