Overview

• Netflix will delist the last two interactive specials, Black Mirror: Bandersnatch and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. the Reverend, on May 12, 2025, marking the conclusion of its interactive storytelling initiative.
• The removal follows Netflix’s decision in late 2024 to phase out most of its interactive content, citing technological limitations and shifting priorities.
• Interactive programming began in 2017 with Puss in Book: Trapped in an Epic Tale and gained prominence with Bandersnatch in 2018, but production ceased in 2023.
• Netflix has redirected its efforts toward its Games division, focusing on Party, Narrative, Kids, and Mainstream games, including mobile and cloud-streamed gaming experiences.
• This move aligns with Netflix’s broader platform redesign, which includes an updated TV interface designed to enhance game discovery and personalized recommendations.
