Netflix Introduces New Feature ‘Mystery Box’

Netflix announced through its blog post that the streaming platform is launching a new feature called mystery box on TVs, which will provide a fun and safe space for kids to discover their favorite series and films. 

This feature can be accessed from kids' profiles. To access it, users need to find the favorite row for kids at the top of the home page. This row is character-driven, and tuning to Netflix makes it easy and lively to bring your favorite characters, shows, and movies to life, it said.

Netflix has been focused on providing kid-friendly features. It has released a host of new features over the past year, which includes Kids Top 10 Row, Kids Recap emails, and tools such as parental control.

Separately, on the occasion of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) on May 19, the platform announced that it would expand the language availability of audio descriptions (AD) and close subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (SDH).

Netflix said, “Starting this month and into 2023, these features will be made available across more of our catalog and in more languages including Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, and French. The streaming platform is also planning to introduce new badges for shows and films that have AD and SDH on Web and iOS.
