Netflix Experiments With Shuffle Playback Feature For Certain Shows

A statement from a Netflix spokesperson confirmed the experiment. “We are testing the ability for members to play a random episode from different TV series on the Android mobile app. These tests typically vary in length of time and by region, and may not become permanent.”

TV shows offering the featured appear in a new row called “Play a Random Episode.” When viewers click on a thumbnail, a random episode plays. The shows offering the feature have a red “shuffle” icon.

The experiment was first noticed by the Android Police publication, which monitors Netflix developments on Android devices.
