Netflix to remove Black Mirror: Bandersnatch next week

simply be gone forever? Polygon asked Netflix for clarity on the issue, but a spokesperson for the company declined to comment.

The upcoming removal of Black Mirror: Bandersnatch from Netflix has left fans wondering about the future of this groundbreaking interactive special. After its delisting, will it find a new home where viewers can still experience its unique interactive elements, or will it disappear completely?

Netflix’s decision to remove Bandersnatch comes as part of a larger shift in the company’s approach to interactivity. Rather than focusing on interactive specials, Netflix is now investing in gaming experiences with industry veterans. During a recent presentation at the 2025 Game Developers Conference, Netflix Games highlighted their focus on Party Games, Narrative Games, Kids Games, and Mainstream Games.

Instead of creating another interactive special like Bandersnatch, Netflix recently released “Plaything,” a game based on the in-world game Thronglets. Sean Krankel, head of narrative games at Netflix and former head of Night School Studio, hinted at more innovative titles to come from the division, including the development of Netflix’s own MMO.

As Bandersnatch prepares to leave Netflix, the future of this Emmy-winning installment is uncertain. Will it find a new platform to call home, or will it be lost to the digital void? Unfortunately, Netflix has chosen not to comment on the matter, leaving fans to speculate on the fate of this iconic interactive experience.
