Netflix already has thousands of hours of kids’ content, and next week, the streamer will repackage some of its biggest animation hits into new playlists as part of a new test the streamer is running.
This is one step closer to Netflix entering the world of FAST, which has recently become commonplace in the streaming world. In September 2023, TBIVision posted an article about why FAST channels work particularly well with kids’ content, but Netflix thus far has strayed away from deploying something similar. They did have Netflix Direct in France for a time, but that service has since been discontinued.
What kid’s playlists are coming to Netflix?
These new playlists are rated TV-Y7 (suitable for ages seven and under) and will be available in South Korea, Brazil, the U.S., and France from September 24th. Given these are labeled as tests, Netflix noted that “they will only be available to certain members for a limited time,” adding, “We’re always exploring ways to improve the member experience, and these tests help us do so.”
