Netflix is launching choose-your-own-adventure TV shows and they’re going to be intense

Difference between TV and video games?

Nah mate, doesn’t exist.

If you’re at all a fan of Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror, you’ll be more than well aware of the harrowing, life-altering, ever-questionable scenarios that come with the progression of technology.

Sure, our iPhones can give us instant contact to anybody living anywhere in the world, but can they also kill us?

Yeah, probably.

Turns out they can also provide us with choose-your-own-adventure TV shows too though so that’s pretty cool.

Bloomberg reports that Netflix is currently in the process of creating TV shows that will allow viewers to choose how they want specific episodes to end.

The project is, at the minute, secret but insiders have revealed that the first choose-your-own-adventure episode will be included in the next series of Black Mirror. 

Because where else would it be, really?

Fans are only just realising why Black Mirror is called Black Mirror

Apparently, the streaming company are looking for new ways to lure in customers who, like most young people these days, just aren’t content with watching week-by-week series on television anymore.

Instead, they’re hoping to push the boundaries of television even further and create something that’s never been done before – and something that could even be applied to a variety of TV shows too.

The upcoming series of Brooker’s Black Mirror is expected to air this December, so we won’t even have all that long to wait to see whether this idea bombs or not.

Can’t wait.
