Some of the anime and live-action Japanese titles to be showcased at Netflix’s TUDUM event in September 2022 have been revealed. 

As a reminder, Netflix TUDUM is the global event (not to be confused with the Netflix blog) that will take place on September 24th, 2022.

The event will have multiple events where we get to see some first looks at upcoming Netflix Originals. 100 titles are expected to be premiered in total.

The Japanese event will take place at 1 PM JST on September 25th, meaning if you’re in the States you’ll be watching late into the night or if you’re in Europe, you’ll have to wake up extra early.

Here’s when you’ll need to be up to catch the Japanese showcase:

  • Japan – 1 PM JST – Septmeber 25th
  • PST Timezone – 9 PM – September 24th
  • EST Timezone – 12 AM – September 25th
  • GMT – 4 AM – September 25th
