No one can say Netflix took this year easy. And it is that if 2022 began without particularly relevant plans, the first presentation of economic results of the year it was a whole jug of cold water and a clear signal that they needed to do something to reverse the incipient negative trend that was to become much more virulent as the year progressed. The main thrust in this regard has been, you know, the basic plan with advertising, but there are also its moves to monetize shared accounts or an attempt, so far rather lukewarm, to stir up its gaming offering.

Along these lines, we told you in the middle of the year that Netflix was also working on a direct feature, according to a fairly reliable rumor that started circulating at the time. In itself, this was a feature that seemed to make a lot of sense, but the plus for credibility was that a few months before Disney + began its tests in this regard. During 2022 it seems that Netflix has focused primarily on Disney’s streaming servicebecause it also took over the advertising plan from it.

However, tothere has been almost no information about it since the May rumor, which brings us back to Netflix’s usual timelines, which, as we well know, tend to take a long time from the time any type of change is considered to its final completion. As an example, we have already told you the complex process that went into implementing the double thumb on the platform. And if the conditions are such for a simple change in the interface, we can imagine what those processes are for larger changes.

However, as I said at the beginning, 2022 seems to be a year where the company stepped on the gas more than usual. As stated on his blog, It will debut directly on Netflix in 2023more precisely at the beginning («beginning of 2023according to the publication). No specific date has been given, but it will be a global event, so users will be able to see it from anywhere.

And the truth is that in this regard, Netflix decided to start strong, because this debut with the direct ones will consist of Chris Rock performance, the controversial actor and comedian whose clash with Will Smith is still well remembered. And I don’t mean this in a bad way, but what event is held at the “beginning” of the year? Indeed, the Oscars, the very context in which the incident between Rock and Smith occurred.

So if we’re thinking a little wrong, it makes sense to suggest that Netflix intends to air the special around the date chosen for the awards ceremony most important in the world of cinematography. And it’s because, although nothing has been leaked about the content of the said live special, it would be surprising if the topics covered in it did not include the proverbial slap.
