Netflix episode asks viewers to sit in director’s chair
Netflix on Tuesday released a new episode of the animated show “The Adventures of Puss in Boots” with an interactive twist.
About a half-dozen times during the episode, viewers — most likely children — will be prompted to choose which plot point the show should follow.
The episode, called “Puss in Book,” will last 18 to 39 minutes (depending on which path viewers go down), with a decision coming every 2 to 4 minutes.
“They are used to pressing play on the remote, setting it down and then just leaning back on the couch and letting Netflix roll,” Carla Engelbrecht Fisher, director of product innovation at Netflix, said of viewers.
“As you can imagine, with two years of development, I’m really excited to see how our members engage with this,” Fisher said.
