Netflix Gears Up for Its Big Night: Tudum Live 2025
Over the years, plenty of services have tried to challenge Netflix’s dominance, but the streaming giant remains firmly on top. With a library packed full of original hits—ranging from thought-provoking series like Black Mirror to blockbuster films like Glass Onion—Netflix has built a massive global fanbase.
On Saturday, May 31 at 8 p.m. EST, Netflix is celebrating its success with Tudum Live, a global fan event hosted in Los Angeles. Headlining the show is a live performance by Lady Gaga, but fans won’t need to travel or buy a ticket to catch the action. The entire event will be streamed live for Netflix subscribers to enjoy from home.
What Is Tudum Live?
“Tudum” is more than just the familiar sound that plays when the Netflix logo appears—it’s become a brand in itself. The term refers to several things: the audio cue that originated with House of Cards, Netflix’s dedicated fan-focused content website, and most notably, its annual global showcase.
Tudum Live brings Netflix’s top stars together on stage for exclusive reveals, first looks at upcoming shows and films, and standout performances. It’s a celebration of all things Netflix—and a way to give fans around the world a front-row seat to the platform’s future.
Who Will Be at Tudum Live?
The event will be hosted by Sofia Carson, known for roles in Carry-On, Purple Hearts, and The Life List. She’ll be joined by a lineup of celebrities and creators including:
-
Jenna Ortega (Wednesday)
-
Guillermo Del Toro (Frankenstein)
-
Vanessa Lachey (Love Is Blind)
-
Cast members from Stranger Things and One Piece
In addition to Lady Gaga, big names set to appear include Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Oscar Isaac, Lily Collins, Steven Yeun, Lee Byung-hun, Kid Cudi, and Teyana Taylor—plus an appearance from the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

How to Watch: Stream live on Netflix—no extra fee required
Whether you’re subscribed to Netflix’s standard or ad-supported plan, you’ll be able to watch Tudum Live on your TV, computer, or mobile device. Just log in at the start time, and you’re good to go.
Watching Tudum Live From Outside the U.S.?
Netflix is well known for bringing global hits to American audiences—think Squid Game or Money Heist. But if you’re outside the U.S. and want to catch Tudum Live, a VPN may help.
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) can mask your location and make it appear as if you’re watching from the U.S., giving you access to region-locked content. That said, Netflix has taken steps to block many VPN services due to licensing restrictions, so it’s a bit of a gamble.
Some of the best VPNs for Netflix access include:
-
Proton VPN
-
NordVPN
-
ExpressVPN
-
IPVanish
-
Private Internet Access
Keep in mind, even the most reliable VPNs can be hit-or-miss depending on Netflix’s current restrictions.
