We’ve all been there: Cozying up in bed for a marathon Netflix binge or swiping right on Bumble for a “Netflix and chill” date. But Netflix is about to revolutionize how we experience our favorite shows and movies with an immersive theater concept that goes way beyond the confines of your couch.
Welcome to Netflix House, where the magic of streaming steps out of your screen and into real life. Here’s what we know so far.
A New Era of Entertainment
For those who don’t just want to watch their favorite Netflix show but live it too, you’re in luck.
Netflix recently announced that King of Prussia has been selected as one of two locations to host its new “experimental entertainment venue,” Netflix House, set to open in 2025. This venue will offer fans an unparalleled opportunity to dive into the worlds of their favorite Netflix shows and movies, creating memories that go beyond binge-watching marathons.
With a sprawling space of over 100,000 square feet, Netflix House will occupy a former department store and span across two floors, making it a major new attraction at King of Prussia Mall.
Immersive Experiences Await
Imagine dancing to an orchestral cover of a Taylor Swift song on a replica of the “Bridgerton” set or competing in the intense Glass Bridge challenge from “Squid Game.” Netflix House promises to bring such fantasies to life with regularly updated immersive experiences.
The venue will build on previous Netflix live events for shows like “Bridgerton,” “Money Heist,” “Stranger Things,” and “Squid Game,” offering fans a chance to step into these beloved stories and characters in ever-changing and unexpected ways.
Shopping and Dining Inspired by Netflix Originals
Netflix House will also feature retail products, including clothing and merchandise from popular shows like “Stranger Things.” The Hellfire Club T-shirt you’ve always wanted? You’ll find it here.
And when hunger strikes after your adventures, head to the Netflix-inspired restaurant where you can savor dishes from around the world, each inspired by the vast catalog of Netflix originals. It’s a foodie experience designed to be as memorable as the shows that inspired it.
Creating Memories, Not Just Watching Movies
“At Netflix House, you can enjoy regularly updated immersive experiences, indulge in retail therapy, and get a taste — literally — of your favorite Netflix series and films through unique food and drink offerings,” Marian Lee, Netflix’s Chief Marketing Officer, said in the press release. “The venues will bring our beloved stories to life in new, ever-changing, and unexpected ways.”
This is more than just a theater; it’s a true leisure destination. “People just consume differently today, and they want a memory. Netflix House will be more about creating a memory and creating an experience than just going to watch a movie,” Angie Freed, general manager of Galleria Dallas, the location of the other Netflix House, told Thrillist.
A Prime Location for a New Attraction
King of Prussia Mall was chosen for its high foot traffic, diverse mix of stores, and proximity to a major city, making it an ideal spot for Netflix House. This new attraction is expected to draw visitors from all over the region, solidifying King of Prussia Mall as a top-tier leisure destination.
Fans can look forward to eye-popping sculptures and a mural mash-up of characters from their favorite Netflix titles, adding to the venue’s allure.
Looking Ahead
From interactive challenges and themed dining to exclusive merchandise and immersive sets, Netflix House is set to be a game-changer in the world of entertainment.
