Apart from the kids mystery box features, Netflix has also rolled out the Netflix Audio Descriptions and Subtitles for more than 20 languages like French, Portuguese, and Spanish. Netflix will also add new badges for shows and films that include SDH and AD on iOS and Web. The collection consists of around 50 movies, and shows with stories and characters based on people with disabilities. 

What else is going on?

Due to slow revenue growth, Netflix is planning to introduce subscriptions with ads to pace its growth. Speculations are that the streaming platform will also produce more India-specific content in the country to attract new users.
