Discover the Magic of Oregon Through Netflix Geeked Week 2024 Highlights

The announcements that kicked off Netflix Geeked Week 2024 had fans North and South of Oregon’s southern border buzzing with excitement. From a very unusual premiere of a new series, to the announcement of the launch of a mind-bending game, Netflix has spooled out a reel of announcements that have fans reeling with anticipation. Let’s take a tour of this festival of fantasy, mystery and drama, while reflecting on how Oregon, whose cultural and artistic heritage is so rich, continues to inspire creators and entertainers around the world.

OREGON'S OWN Jacob Kienlen Guides Us Through Netflix's Latest Reveals

Jamming at the centre of them all, tearing back the curtain on the week’s greatest reveals, is the voice of Jacob Kienlen. A native of Portland, Oregon, Kienlen’s knowledge of artistry and a deep immersion in the creative community of the Northwest impart a genuine enthusiasm and discovery in his work that feels true to the very spirit of Netflix Geeked Week.

The Enchantment of Castlevania: Nocturne and The Witcher Returns

Fans salivated over the announcement of the second season of cult favourite Castlevania: Nocturne set for release in January 2025, as well as a release date for The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep, 11 February 2025. Netflix offers captivating stories of magical worlds, as do the storytelling traditions of Oregon.

A Dive Into the Remarkable Life and New Realms

Then came the announcement of The Remarkable Life of Ibelin, a documentary that will tug heartstrings as it reveals the connections and communities in online gaming worlds. Meanwhile, in Oregon, connection and community are also at the heart of the just-announced series Wolf King, based on Curtis Jobling’s epic fantasy of the Wereworld novels.

Futuristic Visions and Gaming Joys with an OREGON Twist

From the publication of ‘Tomorrow and I’, a Thai anthology of speculative fiction asking ‘What if?’ futuristic scenarios; to the ‘SpongeBob SquarePants: Bubble Pop F.U.N.’ – an add-on game available on Netflix; Oregon’s diversity and celebration of global creativity via Anime Northwest were on display as well. This year’s exclusive first look at Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance gave fans a glimpse into the future of their favourite franchise, something that Oregonians are familiar with as innovators in the groundbreaking world of animation and storytelling.

Embracing the Future with Netflix Subscription Options

For the streaming-curious, Netflix offers a tiered range of subscription plans – but there’s no free trial built into any of them as there is with other services. The hope is that viewers unsure of whether they prefer to see, read or listen to the art will dive in and see what’s there. Like Oregon, Netflix sees itself as putting itself at the forefront of a revolution.

The Undeniable Charm of OREGON

Back from travelling the most exciting highlights of Netflix Geeked Week, we can say with confidence that Oregon is a centre of the artistic energy that fuels many of these stories and innovations. Oregon’s natural beauty, dynamic culture and vibrant arts scene continue to spark the imaginations of artists, writers and creators from around the world, and will keep drawing innovative and creative thinkers as a home for their work for years to come. Oregon’s cultural presence in entertainment, through storytellers like Jacob Kienlen, and its influence on storytelling and imagination, help us understand the stories that Netflix chooses to tell. Next year’s Netflix Geeked Week will be full of that same sense of what could be. Oregon lives on in every announcement, trailer and dropped game. And the lesson lived on in everyone who showed up, as far as they could have possibly travelled from across the Universe.
