Netflix Wants Viewers to Feel Part of Their Stories
The biggest win for this type of story is that viewers want to try different options, which means they’ll spend a long time in front of the screen consuming the content to get different results. In 2019, Netflix releasedYou vs Wild, a documentary-style show where the audience chooses what adventurer Bear Grylls will do while helping him to survive in the wilderness.
A year later the streaming platform offered another amazing interactive adventure with a special episode fromThe Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, turning the acclaimed comedy series into a completely different thing thanks to the possibility of viewers to directly interact with the characters and decide what happens to them.
Right now there are a lot of interactive options to enjoy on Netflix including titles such asBarbie: Epic Road Trip,We Lost Our Human,Carmen Sandiego: To Steal or Not to Steal,Puss in Book: Trapped in an Epic Tale,Captain Underpants: Epic Choice-o-Ramaamong many others.
