It looks like Netflix<\/a> has some exciting new features coming for its customers. <\/p>\n That\u2019s because the streaming giant plans to update its platform, with new features that are set to make the viewing experience better. The updates include more immersive and interactive capabilities, per the company\u2019s chief technology officer, Elizabeth Stone. <\/p>\n During TechCrunch Digest 2025<\/a>, Stone revealed that three new initiatives are coming to the platform and will appear on Netflix, beginning with real-time voting. <\/p>\n In the past, Netflix previously had a voting trial during \u201cDinner Time Live with David Chang\u201d in the US. As a result, the streaming giant plans to offer the interactive option during other live programming. <\/p>\n The new interactive experience will also become applicable to the reboot of \u201cStar Search,\u201d a popular talent show that was originally on TV during the 80s and 90s that\u2019s set to release in 2026. <\/p>\n The show will use real-time voting technology so viewers can select their own favorite contestants using their TV remote or smartphone. <\/p>\n \u201cIf you\u2019re sitting at home watching \u2018Star Search\u2019<\/i> on your TV, you\u2019ll be able to… actually put in a vote that advances or doesn\u2019t advance some of the contestants on the show,” Stone said, according to TechCrunch<\/a>. <\/p>\n Also headed to the streaming app are \u201cmore immersive experiences.\u201d <\/p>\n Through this move, the company says it\u2019ll bring its own content \u201cto life\u201d via animations and dynamic special effects. <\/p>\n Right now, it\u2019s unclear what this entails but as for what Netflix has planned, it seems as though the look of the homescreen will become more animated than it is right now. <\/p>\n Immersion is also another feature that\u2019ll be explored, as party games are making its way to the Netflix service. <\/p>\n While the streaming platform has experimented with mobile and cloud gaming in the past, Netflix plans to expand the idea to include party titles for families to enjoy on their TVs without needing separate controllers or subscriptions. <\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve got some fun living room party games launching in Q4 this year, more next year \u2013 for example, Boggle. So it\u2019s on your living room TV screen. You\u2019re able to do it with friends and family locally using your mobile phone,\u201d Stone added.<\/p>\n Also, kids profiles are receiving a total makeover. <\/p>\n The revamped kids homepage is on its way and will come with a new navigation bar that links to the content young viewers have watched and saved, housing it all in one place. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
