From São Paulo to Los Angeles: The Evolution of Tudum

Over four days, it drew more than 50,000 fans, with appearances by stars like Lana Condor and Noah Centineo, and performances by artists like Anavitória and Projota. The event’s success marked the beginning of a global phenomenon, evolving into various formats—festivals, livestreams, and a digital almanac—cementing its place as a cornerstone of Netflix’s fan engagement.
In 2023, Tudum returned to São Paulo, attracting over 35,000 in-person attendees and amassing more than 78 million views across Netflix’s global social channels.
