THE big Netflix redesign that lost favour with viewers last summer is reportedly coming to your TV very soon.
The giant began of its TV app in June last year.
It changes how the homepage works, making a title’s trailer and description larger on your screen.
The update also gets rid of the left-side menu, replacing it with a streamlined selection of options at the top of the screen: search, home, shows, movies, and My Netflix.
Netflix rolled out the new layout to a small group of customers.
But it was met with poor reviews, with most viewers saying Netflix already had the best layout among its peers.
“It sucks so bad. Why do people try fixing things that aren’t broken?,” one user wrote.
Another replied, saying: “Because people think they need to justify their salaries by changing things so they can go ‘I had an idea don’t fire me'.”
While a third person wrote: “There was nothing wrong with the old interface. It was easily the best among all streaming platforms.
“Now it looks like and I hate it. Switching profiles is now a chore.”
Now Netflix is nearly ready to roll it out to customers worldwide.
During an earnings callyesterday, Co-CEO Greg Peters said that it will arrive “later this year“.
It will be Netflix's
At the time of the initial rollout, Netflix exec Pat Flemming told Reuters that the redesign was hoped to make the platform easier to navigate with less “eye gymnastics”.
The company had reportedly been hawkish on improving engagement time – how long viewers actually spend on the platform.
Netflix was said to be making more effort to keep viewers on the app for longer, according to reports.
