Netflix House Venue Opening in King of Prussia 1 of Only 2 in the Country

Author Kristen Herrmann

There are so many hugely popular shows and films on Netflix. From Stranger Things to Bridgerton, most of us have binged at least one Netflix show in the past, likely even in just the past week. Next year we’re going to be able to visit and experience our favorite Netflix shows in person… at Netflix House, opening at the King of Prussia Mall.

Why King of Prussia?

Netflix is opening two “Netflix Houses” in the U.S, both set to open next year. One in Dallas, Texas at Galleria Dallas, and one right here in King of Prussia. The locations were chosen because they are “part of two of the most popular shopping centers in America, boasting hundreds of retailers, high foot traffic, and proximity to major cities.” They will both set up in former department store locations spanning over 100,000 square feet.

What kind of experiences at Netflix House?

Netflix said, “Imagine waltzing with your partner to an orchestral cover of a Taylor Swift song on a replica of the ‘Bridgerton’ set –– and then walking around the corner to compete in the Glass Bridge challenge from ‘Squid Game.” Sounds like a little bit of everything.

There’s Food Too!

Marian Lee, Netflix’s Chief Marketing Officer says you’ll be able to “get a taste — literally — of your favorite Netflix series and films through unique food and drink offerings. Maybe Netflix House will serve Eggo waffles, or feature a Scoops Ahoy Ice Cream Parlor a la Stranger Things? With the number of Netflix shows out there, the possibilities are endless.

By next year we’ll have a great reason to put the binge watching on pause for a while and head over to King of Prussia. We’ll be able to step into our favorite shows in person and enjoy experiences like photo ops, restaurants, shopping and merchandise tied to all of our favorite Netflix stars and shows. With all of the possible merch options, it should be a great spot to pick up a gift for someone too.

Keep an eye on NetflixHouse.com for updates on the new venue and to see some of the current Netflix experiences and popups available. Plenty to watch on Netflix in the meantime.

Now if we can just convince Netflix House to (please) host a Bridgerton-style ball. They always look so fun, and this seems like the perfect venue for it. I’ll start working on my dress (hat, gloves ect…) just in case.

Notable Titles Coming To Streaming In June

The smell of summer and the end of allergy season is so close, we can almost taste it (and breathe again). Whether it is to cool down from the rising temperatures or to escape those dreaded allergies, streaming services are gearing up with some hot titles this summer.

Television Titles Coming To Streaming In June

Streaming giant Netflix is keeping passions hot with two dating reality shows this month. First up is Love Is Blind, this time taking place in Brazil. The popular global show is an experiment where prospective singles are paired up with blind dates and don’t get to see each other until they accept a marriage proposal. Last season’s Love Is Blind was full of drama, and it is to be expected with the South American hotties from the looks of the trailer. The season premieres on June 19th.

Another popular reality dating show is Perfect Match, with the show’s second season airing on Netflix on June 7th. This show is a lot steamier and sleazier than Love Is Blind, so for those looking for that extra spice, you should check it out. Former Love Is Blind contestants are also participating in Perfect Match season two, including Jessica, Trevor, Izzy, and Micah.

Meanwhile, over on Hulu, the highly-anticipated third season of The Bear is set to premiere later in the month. The award-winning chaotic drama returns with the entire season on June 27th with Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as chefs and staff of the Chicago beef sandwich shop. Season three sees the crew trying to elevate The Bear to the highest level of fine dining.

Another highly-anticipated series lands on Max this month with the second season of the Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon.

Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, and Colby Minifie. Season four will welcome newcomers to the series Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
