Netflix To Launch Interactive Episodes, Will Let You Choose What Happens During Shows

SILICON VALLEY, CA -- If you've ever wished that you had control over the lives of some of your favorite TV characters, then your wish may be about to come true.

Los Gatos-based Netflix says that it's experimenting with technology that could give you more say regarding what happens in its shows. The digital media company has said it plans to test interactive TV shows to see what choices viewers like the most, and which are actually doable.

Netflix has already been dabbling with the concept: in 2016, it debuted some interactive content with its children's series "Kong: King of the Apes," albeit in a very limited way.

According to the UK news site Daily Mail, Netflix will test out the choice-based format on a kids show later this year, and depending on how well it works, content for adults could get the same treatment.

Actors could film numerous alternate plot segment in advance, according to the Daily Mail, then viewers would be able to choose which route to take through the story.
