Netflix is shaking things up with a brand-new subtitle option that’s all about the dialogue—nothing else. Starting with season five of You, this minimalist feature ditches those pesky audio descriptions (you know, the [footsteps approaching] kind) and keeps it strictly to the spoken word. It’s a game-changer for anyone who’s ever thought, “I just wanna know what they’re saying, not hear about every single background noise.”
Don’t worry, though; the classic SDH/CC subtitles aren’t going anywhere. You’ll still find them under “English (CC),” complete with all the [dramatic music swells] and [ominous door slams] your heart desires. But for those craving simplicity, the new “English” option is like a breath of fresh air. And hey, Netflix isn’t stopping there—this sleek feature is set to roll out across all new originals in every supported language. Talk about keeping things interesting!
