Like A Video Game, Netflix Will Soon Let You Choose A Plot

This story appeared in the March 15, 2017 issue of Level Up by Forbes newsletter. Netflix led the rise of streaming; now it wants to drive interactive-watching technology. In this realm, viewers will get to choose a TV show's plot events, such as whether an Orange Is The New Black inmate chooses to join or steer clear of a gang. Cast and crew will have written and filmed multiple options, allowing fans to curate their own watching experience. The "Choose Your Own Adventure" experiment will begin later this year with a children's show, simpler to produce than the adult content that would come later, writes Forbes contributor Dana Feldman.
