Netflix’s investment in interactive series has helped bring more attention to a format once relegated to the fringes of entertainment. — Bloomberg

Netflix Inc is turning three of its popular kids programs into interactive specials, increasing its bet on a choose-your-own-adventure approach to TV.

The company plans to make interactive episodes or specials out of Carmen Sandiego, Boss Baby and Last Kids On Earth, according to people familiar with the company’s plans. They will all be movies or one-off specials rather than full series, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans haven’t been announced.
