Netflix Sets Real-Time Voting, Party Games and an Immersive Homepage in Interactive Push

The CTO said live votes will reach the Star Search reboot next year with time-limited prompts.

Overview

  • Viewers will be able to cast live votes on TV or phones during broadcasts, with prompts that expire if you are behind the stream or rewind.
  • Netflix tested the feature in August on Dinner Time with David Chang and reported consistent engagement, building on earlier interactive polls in reality series.
  • Living-room party games begin rolling out before the end of 2025, including LEGO Party!, Boggle Party, Pictionary: Game Night, Tetris Time Warp and Party Crashers, with phones used as controllers and more titles slated for 2026.
  • An animated Halloween Collection is already live on the homepage, with a Holiday experience due in December and IP-themed collections like Bridgerton in development.
  • Netflix is rolling out a redesigned Kids profile with simpler navigation and a My Netflix hub, while testing a vertical mobile clips feed and exploring future ties to Spotify video podcasts.
