Netflix Livestream: Slate of Unscripted Shows and Comedy Specials

Netflix Livestream

According to pieces of recent news updates, Netflix Livestream will include unscripted shows and comedy specials. The company reportedly said it was in the early stages of developing the capability.

 

The Netflix Livestream

 

Recently, Netflix announced the development of its Livestream. Reportedly, the Netflix Livestream feature will stream live its upcoming slate of unscripted shows and comedy specials. Reports suggest the streaming giant could use the technology to hold live voting for competitive shows like the upcoming Dance 100 and air sets from its annual Netflix Is A Joke festival, among other use cases. The feature doesn’t have a rollout date yet, with only a small team within the company reportedly in the “preliminary” stages of developing the tech. We’ve reached out to Netflix for comment.

Moreover, the company recently updated its culture guidelines to add a new section titled “artistic expression.” In short, the section tells potential employees they may be required to work on projects they may not align with their values.

Not everyone will like — or agree with — everything on our service… and we let viewers decide what’s appropriate for them, versus having Netflix censor specific artists or voices,” the company states in the document. “Depending on your role, you may need to work on titles you perceive to be harmful. If you’d find it hard to support our content breadth, Netflix may not be the best place for you.”

 

Discussing Cultural Issues

 

Netflix told that it spent the past 18 months discussing cultural issues with employees. The company says it wrote the tweaked guidelines to help job seekers make more “informed decisions about whether Netflix is the right company for them.”

The update comes after Netflix faced employee unrest over its latest comedy special from Dave Chappelle. Many at the company criticized the comedian and The Closer for being transphobic. Netflix’s reaction to the incident, including the decision to fire a worker who allegedly shared sensitive information about the special, led to a worker walkout. The Netflix Livestream will roll out very soon.
