Over the past few years, Netflix has started to explore new categories such as video games and interactive specials. Now, the streaming platform is continuing its expansion by stepping into another new territory: live streaming.
According to a report by Deadline, Netflix is currently in the early stages of developing live streaming capabilities for a few of the platform’s specials.
While it’s unknown what exactly this feature might be used to stream, Deadline theorized that it would come in handy for live reunions for shows like Selling Sunset, live voting for competitive shows like the upcoming Dance 100, and comedy events like the Netflix Is A Joke festival.
It’s unclear when Netflix’s live streaming service will be released or if Netflix intends to follow through with these plans, but it’s not the only change to the platform’s model currently in the works.
In the wake of its largest one-day drop ever after the platform lost 200,000 subscribers in one quarter, Netflix has been making quite a few changes to its roster — the company recently announced its plan to host nearly 50 games by the end of 2022.
Netflix also drastically cut its animation budget, scrapping projects like the adaptation of Bone. The platform also announced plans to potentially introduce a cheaper, ad-supported subscription tier by the end of 2022.
