Netflix is about to ditch its final interactive specials — including this iconic 'Black Mirror' episode
(Image credit: Netflix) Netflix looks to finally be bringing its "interactive content" era to a close in just a few days. While Netflix continues to invest in gaming, the streaming service began delisting its interactive specials late last year. 20 of the streamer's 24 "Interactive Specials" were taken down from its library on Dec. 1, and the two "vs. Wild" interactive specials disappeared soon thereafter on Jan. 1. According to a new report from What's On Netflix, the final two specials — "Black Mirror: Bandersnatch" and "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. the Reverend" — are leaving Netflix in less than a week. You may like The outlet reports that both specials "will be leaving the service globally on May 12, 2025." Netflix hasn't officially confirmed the removal themselves; at the time of writing, neither special was flagged as "leaving soon" on their landing page on the streamer, either. Even if we didn't rate "Bandersnatch" all that highly — look at our list of the best and worst "Black Mirror" episodes as proof — it will be a shame if franchise newcomers won't be able to experience this experimental slice of TV any longer. "Bandersnatch" is flawed, but its debut made waves back in 2018, and even spawned a follow-up episode featuring eccentric game developer Colin Ritman (Will Poulter) in "Black Mirror" season 7. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Why has Netflix removed interactive content? Black Mirror: Bandersnatch | Featurette: Consumer [HD] | Netflix - YouTube Watch On Netflix's main reason for deprioritising this particular form of interactive storytelling is seemingly down to the fact that the technology behind the specials had become "limiting." Speaking to Game File's Stephen Totilo in 2024, Netflix's Head of Gaming, Mike Verdu, said: "We're not building those specific experiences anymore." Totilo continues: 'The technology was very limiting and the potential for what we could do in that realm was kind of capped. But we learned a ton from that," he added. He went on to say their learning would instead be ploughed into full narrative games, such as those based on "Love is Blind" and "Too Hot To Handle." 'It will start to feel more and more like you really are playing the show,' Verdu said. 'I think that's sort of the spiritual evolution of what you saw there. But we learned a ton. And 'Bandersnatch' is a phenomenal experience," Verdu added. (Image credit: Eric Liebowitz/Netflix) In the above report, What's on Netflix also stated the streamer was due to undergo an interface redesign, and implied its interactive specials wouldn't be compatible with the new UI. While reporting the first wave of removals, fellow TG writer Malcolm McMillan also speculated two other reasons. There's the rise of mobile viewing, and the fact that viewers probably weren't looking for this kind of content from Netflix in the first place. I'd also throw in one other reason: if you've played any sort of video game, I'd wager a fairly simplistic choose-your-own-adventure offering wasn't a compelling enough offering in the first place. Regardless, if you are interested in checking out either "Kimmy Vs. The Reverend" or "Bandersnatch" on Netflix and seeing their branching stories, now is seemingly the time to do just that. If you're looking for something else to watch in the meantime, be sure to check out our guide to the best Netflix shows you can stream right now for plenty of top recommendations.

Steven Spielberg's 'most underrated' film is coming to Netflix and fans can't wait
An iconic film by the legendary director Steven Spielberg is set to hit Netflix , and fans are 'losing their minds' with excitement. The acclaimed maker of E. T. and Jurassic Park, Spielberg has a repertoire filled with beloved hits spanning from war biopics to family adventures and edgy thrillers. However, it's one of his early career gems that has got fans thrilled as it's soon to land on the streaming platform, causing a stir among film enthusiasts on X . Regarding his work on this particular film, Spielberg admitted to feelings of unpreparedness yet acknowledged its valuable contributions to his growth. He remarked: "[It] was the biggest bite I had ever taken out of the cinematic pie up to that point in my career, and I wasn't prepared for it. But I learned how to do it- sort of on-the-job training." This "on-the-job training" paid off, as fans celebrate the enduring quality of the movie. Social media users express their admiration, with one calling it "one of Spielberg's most interesting films." Another proclaimed: "My favorite love-on-the-lam flick." The Sugarland Express, marking its 50th anniversary last year, is gearing up for its Netflix debut on May 1, according to sources at What's On Netflix. The plot centers on a woman who busts her husband out of prison to rescue their son, leading to wild chases across the country. Movie enthusiasts continue to marvel at the enduring appeal of the film, even after its milestone anniversary, with one awestruck fan confessing it still holds up. They wrote: "Watching Sugarland Express for the first time since the Clinton admin, and losing my mind over this horizontal split diopter." A split diopter allows a camera lens to simultaneously capture two focal planes. In The Sugarland Express, this technique crisply captures both the car ahead and a rearview mirror reflection. Goldie Hawn starred in Spielberg's theatrical debut (file) (Image: Sunset Boulevard, Corbis via Getty Images) The film has garnered a host of admirers, with recommendations pouring in. One supporter declared: "Spielberg's most underrated, that split diopter is also one of the great single-shot evocations of the era's generation gap." Echoing the praise, another added: "I just watched this film for the first time yesterday too! This was my favorite shot and moment in the film... with the silhouette shot being up there as well. Truly underrated film by Spielberg and great performances, specifically by Goldie Hawn." Amazement also surrounds the fact that this was Spielberg's first theatrical film, following his TV feature Duel which aired in 1971. Comparisons to legendary directors have been made by another viewer, who appreciated the film's style, noting: "Fuses Howard Hawks-esque humanism and tonal dexterity with God tier visual storytelling a la David Lean. "Populist entertainment that feels personally, even intimately handmade. A couple dozen watches in and it's still one of my hardcore cinematic ideals."
