Netflix Announces Neil Gaiman Series, Zach Snyder Movie, Anime 'Terminator' and 'Exploding Kittens'

Netflix's annual virtual event 'Geeked Week' pre-announces its biggest upcoming shows. This year Netflix released a trailer for its upcoming adaptation of The Three-Body Problem, and for its new live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series. (And there's also going to be some kind of live-action Stranger Things stage show opening in London in December.)

Variety noted the 'explosive' new trailer for Zach Snyder's new 'action-packed space opera' Rebel Moon. The film — which will also have a one-week theatrical run in December — takes place in the same universe as Snyder's Army of the Dead. But instead of being set in Las Vegas, 'The story centers on a young woman living on the outskirts of a galaxy who must find a group of warriors to save the galaxy from an invasion from a tyrant.'

The Verge pulled together a good rundown of all the other announcements — one of which involves Neil Gaiman:
Following last year's The Sandman, Netflix is bringing even more beloved Neil Gaiman characters to the small screen. This time it's Dead Boy Detectives — which was originally slated to stream on Max — based on a crime-solving duo who made their debut in a Sandman comic in the '90s. The news was paired with the first trailer for the series, which shows off a pretty fun-looking supernatural whodunit...
Netflix says the new eight-episode series is part of its growing 'Sandman universe'... with Gaiman serving as one of the executive producers. [Coming sometime in 2024]
They're also launching several animated series. Netflix released a short teaser for Terminator: the Anime Series.
An animated new take on Ultraman.
An animated He-Man reboot, Masters of the Universe: Revolution (with Mark Hamill providing the voice of Skeletor).
An adult animated comedy series based on the card game Exploding Kittens. (The Verge writes that its trailer 'features god in the body of a cat and a very confounding garage door' — and that there will also be an accompanying mobile game.)
Netflix also has a new Chicken Run movie coming in December with its own tie-in game called Eggstraction.
