Overview

• Black Mirror: Bandersnatch and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. the Reverend were delisted from Netflix on May 12, 2025, marking the end of its interactive specials era.
• Netflix confirmed the removal is part of a strategic shift toward mobile and cloud gaming, citing interactive technology as limiting future efforts.
• Bandersnatch, an Emmy-winning Black Mirror installment, gained acclaim for its complex, choose-your-own-adventure format and remains a standout in interactive storytelling.
• The removal coincides with Black Mirror Season 7’s ‘Plaything’ episode, which referenced Bandersnatch characters and themes, leaving fans without access to the original context.
• Netflix has not indicated plans to make the interactive specials available elsewhere, with their unique technology making redistribution unlikely.
