Netflix introduces new section to highlight upcoming releases


Netflix is ​​always tweaking its user interface to try and get subscribers to discover and watch its new content.

Now the introduction of a "New and Popular" tab combines several sections into one to help you.

If your smart TV has Netflix installed, you should now see a new menu category called "New and Popular".

The purpose of this page is to highlight the latest Netflix content, as well as tease what's coming to the platform over the next year.

This tab includes a number of pre-existing Netflix lines. 'New to Netflix' displays the latest releases, 'Coming Soon' is content launching on Netflix shortly, and 'Top 10' lists the most popular shows in your country that day.

The new addition to this page is the “Worth the Wait” line. This will display movies and shows coming to Netflix within the next 15-365 days. You can also set a reminder to be notified when the content is launched.

Netflix lost subscribers for the first time in its history last year, despite doing well during the global coronavirus pandemic as people are stuck indoors looking for entertainment. P>
