Netflix House is an experimental entertainment venue that will bring many of the streamers programs to life, according to their official website.
The first two locations will open at King of Prussia in Pennsylvania and Galleria Dallas in Texas in 2025.
Netflix picked these two locations because they are two of the most popular malls in America.
The locations of Netflix House are in former department stores that have been shut down.

“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 a statement.

There are currently experiences for popular programs, including Bridgerton, Stranger Things, Knives Out, and more.

From the experiences, Netflix also promises "eye-popping sculptures and a mural mash-up of characters from their favorite Netflix titles."
'WILL THERE BE ADS?'
Once the news was posted to X, formerly Twitter, fans left their opinions in the comments.
Many of them laughed at the concept.
"So Netflix doesn't think that watching TV from YOUR OWN HOME is a good experience? Lol," one fan said.
"Will there be ads every six minutes?" a fan wondered.
Another fan joked that the experience "will be canceled after the first season."
