One of the most popular tvOS apps is debuting a brand new look: Netflix’s previously announced redesign of its Apple TV app is rolling out now.
New design for Netflix tvOS app now available
Back in May, Netflix announced a variety of big changes that were coming to its iOS and tvOS apps.
Now, the newly updated Netflix app for Apple TV users is here.
As spotted by users on Reddit, the new design seems to have launched with the latest tvOS app update. If you’re not seeing it yet, make sure you’re running the latest version of the Netflix app.
Here are several features of the new design, per the original announcement:
Discover Your Next Great Watch More Easily: We’re putting all the information you need to make an informed choice about what to watch front and center. That way you can better focus on what makes each title relevant for you, with callouts like “Emmy Award Winner” or “#1 in TV Shows.”

If you’re a regular user of Apple’s own TV app, you’ll notice some commonalities between it and Netflix—especially compared to Apple’s tvOS 26 redesign.
Most obvious is the similar navigation menu at the top of the screen. Apple’s TV app has long used a similar-style navigation bar.
Now the Apple TV and Netflix apps—easily my two most-used tvOS apps—will feel more cohesive.
