Netflix turns to the page with even more choose-your-own-adventure content
At a media conference in Mumbai this week (via Variety), Netflix’s vice president of product Todd Yellin teased that the success of Bandersnatch has convinced the company to move forward with more choose-your-own-adventure content—though not Choose Your Own Adventure content, because Netflix is already getting sued about that. Yellin says the company is “doubling down” on “interactive storytelling” like Bandersnatch, but it “won’t necessarily be science fiction” or “dark” like that Black Mirror thing was. Instead, he says Netflix could do a “wacky comedy” or a romance where the audience gets to choose if a character should go out with a specific guy or not.
