Of all the shows to go the choose-your-own-adventure route first, it makes sense for Black Mirrorto give it a shot, giving viewers a chance to decide how a story pans out using Netflix's technology.

Black Mirror, created by Charlie Brooker, has been one of Netflix's most critically acclaimed series since the streaming company picked it up in 2015 from the British TV network Channel 4, earning five Emmy Awards in 2017 and 2018. Each episode of the show is its own contained, often terrifying story revolving around technology.

Netflix has done the whole choose-your-own-adventure thing before with Puss in Book: Trapped in an Epic Tale, which allows viewers to choose where Puss goes in the narrative goes by clicking one of two options while viewing. Throughout the 35-minute experience, there are 13 branching paths to go down.

When we reached out to Netflix for confirmation or comment, a Netflix spokesperson responded via email: "Thanks for reaching out! You have the ability to choose your own response from Netflix: This or this."

The coy response seems to confirm the reports of the interactive episode, but it's still vague.
