It's Geeked Week, courtesy of Netflix, which means a smorgasbord of new teasers for upcoming series. Most notably, we got some new teaser footage for The Sandman, a teaser for the third and final season of Locke & Key, and a full trailer for the Resident Evil live-action series. There were also teasers for a new series from the creators of the masterful German series Dark, called 1899; Mike Flanagan's The Midnight Club; the anthology series Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities; and Wednesday, Tim Burton's new series focused on a grown-up Wednesday Addams.
