It looks like Netflix is through with its interactive experience experiment. The streaming giant is removing Black Mirror: Bandersnatch and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. the Reverend from its platform on May 12, What's on Netflix reported May 6.

If you've seen the heavy advertising of its mobile games library or even got to test its cloud-streamed games on your television, those are looking to be Netflix's focus now.

With the removal of these two titles, there will be no other interactive shows on the streaming service. Ranveer vs. Wild with Bear Grylls and You vs. Wild were pulled in January. But as The Verge noted, it looks like non-interactive versions of the show are available to watch. It's unclear if Black Mirror: Bandersnatch or Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. the Reverend will get the same treatment.

What's on Netflix said there has been an active Discord community looking to preserve these interactive experiences called The Netflix Interactive Archive.
