VIDEO : Netflix Plans To Make Choose-Your-Own-Adventure TV Shows For Adults

Choose-your-own-adventure tales are usually associated with kids, and Netflix has seen some success recently in bringing the concept to television. Now the popular streaming service wants to see how well the "branched narrative" format works for adults. There aren't many details, but the basic idea is that viewers will be able to choose what happens at a certain point in the series by selecting options on a menu, which would then unlock different scenes that lead to different endings. Netflix plans to spend somewhere between $7 billion and $8 billion on programming in 2018, and that type of budget certainly allows room for some surprises.
