Netflix adds 'New & Popular' section to promote new content for all your binge-watching needs

Smart TVs with Netflix just got a convenient update. These devices will soon reflect a "New and Popular" section in the Netflix app that organizes all the latest shows and movies in one convenient location.

Browsing Netflix isn't always easy (we're still waiting on that A-Z feature), but with so many titles being added to the platform daily, "New and Popular" is the perfect way to highlight them. It includes the now-familiar Top 10 feature, as well as "Coming This Week" and "Worth the Wait" — which builds hype for titles joining the Netflix library any time in the next year.
