According to the streaming platform's website: "It is Netflix's biggest celebration of fandom and culture-defining storytelling — spotlighting movies, shows, stars and creators that fans around the world love."
The first TUDUM event took place in January 2020 in Brazil as a "multi-title festival that celebrated Netflix's young adult content, drawing more than 50,000 fans over four days. "
Since it's launch five years ago it attracted millions of views, especially in 2023 where 78 million people viewed the live event. Taking to YouTube, Lady Gaga teased fans with her attendance.

Speaking to HOLA! ahead of the event, Sofia told the publication: "It's been a really exciting process and a really collaborative one with Netflix, which is always how it goes with them."
She added, "I was invited to host about a month and a half ago and immediately got on creative calls with ideas that I wanted to bring to life with them."
She continued: "As a performer, I've been so lucky to perform on some of the biggest stages in the world… but every time I get to do something that's a little bit different than what I'm used to, it's always a little nerve-wracking.'
Sofia explains she was immediately involved in rehearsals and script writing once she agreed to take part in the global event. Now, with just a few hours until the hotly anticipated live show, Sofia will be finalising her jaw-dropping outfits.

A whole host of new characters have been added to season two of Wednesday and fans were left stunned by Joanna Lumley's transformation in the Netflix show Wednesday season two will premiere on Netflix on August 6 and the show has been renewed for a third season. For the latest outing, a whole host of new characters have been added alongside Jenna Ortega, who has opened up on the pressures of filming the new season. Whilst the star-studded cast welcomes the likes of Lady Gaga and Steve Buscemi, the hit series will also see Joanna Lumley as Morticia's (Catherine Zeta-Jones) mother. The Absolutely Fabulous star and former model has collaborated with Tim Burton on two previous film projects - James and the Giant Peach and Corpse Bride. Wednesday showrunner Miles Millar said she was at the top of their list to play Hester, sharing: "The idea of bringing Hester, Morticia's mother, into the fold was something we were so excited about. "In the first season we introduced Fester, and then this season we thought, 'Let's introduce Grandmama.' "At the top of our list was Joanna Lumley. Joanna just inhabited this role. And the hair and makeup - she has this extraordinary wig." "Colleen Atwood, our incredible costume designer, designed these amazing costumes. "The first day on set when Joanna walked on, she just was Hester, and she nailed every single line, and it's just so delicious. "The Wednesday-Hester relationship is unique and different; you see a twinkle in both their eyes when they're together on-screen. I think everyone is going to fall in love with Hester." The 79 year old sent fans into a frenzy with her jaw-dropping transformation as she appeared in the show's trailer. The footage triggered a wave of reactions from supporters across social media platforms, with remarks describing her look as "perfect" and "fabulous". Writing on X, previously known as Twitter, one admirer commented: "Grandmama got a makeover." A second person posted: "Absolutely Fabulous! !" making reference to the performer's legendary Patsy Stone character. Alfred Gough, who co-created the programme, revealed that for the second series they were keen to explore a contrasting mother-daughter dynamic. He explained: "We see Hester and Morticia's relationship, and how there are similarities and differences between Morticia and Wednesday's relationship. "And of course, Wednesday and Hester get along great. Other than Fester, Grandmama is probably Wednesday's favorite person and the one she feels the most kinship with. "It's also somebody she can use against her mother. So it's a delicious family triangle to set up." Wednesday season 2 will premiere on Netflix on August 6

UK's STV warns of annual profit miss on subdued ads market, shares plunge
July 28 (Reuters) - British digital media firm STV Group (STVG.L), opens new tab warned on Monday that annual revenue and profit would fall short of market expectations due to a worsening advertising market, sending its shares to a more than 12-year low. Shares fell over 24% - biggest percentage drop since November 2007 - to 145.4 pence. STV has two divisions, Audience, which runs commercial public service broadcaster STV and streaming service STV Player and heavily relies on advertising, and Studios, Scotland's largest TV production company which gets commissions from the likes of Netflix and BBC to produce content. A worsening macroeconomic backdrop in the UK has led to fewer funding approvals for creative projects, which has impacted the group's unscripted content, such as talk shows or documentaries, with some projects in advanced development stages not being approved and some being delayed to 2026. STV Group said its scripted labels remained strong and it was still working on projects for Netflix, Apple, Sky and the BBC, with financial expectations remaining unchanged for that segment. The company expects total advertising revenue, which makes up the lion's share of group revenue, to be down about 8% in the third quarter due to a challenging advertising market. The group expects total revenue to range between 165 million pounds and 180 million pounds ($221.50 million and $241.63 million), and an adjusted operating margin of about 7% for the year ending December 31, 2025. ($1 = 0.7449 pounds)
