It's taken a while, but now Apple TV streaming box users will get access to a redesigned Netflix, even if they hate it.

FULL STORY ======================================================================Netflix' s new look is now rolling out for the Apple TV 4K It's drawn mixed reactions since its debut in May Beyond the new user experience there are new sounds that can't be disabled as of yet

Netflix is one of the best streaming services around, and its entirely new look, which the streamer dubbed a giant leap forward, is now arriving on one of the most popular streaming box ecosystems, the Apple TV.

As spotted by some users on Reddit and within Apples tvOS App Store, the new look is a redesign of the homepage and adds sounds, and is officially landing on the Apple TV and Apple TV 4K streaming boxes, after debuting on other platforms.

This is likely a situation of love it or hate it or ready or not, though. Subscribers have been vocal about their distaste for the redesign, particularly the change to the homescreen, which many have grown accustomed
to a classic scrolling through rows without a clear reason. Netflix
defended the new look in June 2025, and it appears the UI redesign is still rolling out as planned. Netflix new UI ON APPLE TV from r/appletv

Netflixs new look starts off with a main, rectangular top bar that'll rotate between content potentially new seasons arriving soon or top picks but
still has rows underneath, mainly the all-important Continue Watching
feature.

Similar to other streaming services, Amazon Prime Video included, theres a
top bar centered with search, Home, Shows, Movies, Genres, and My Netflix
the latter is where youll find your list, continue watching, and other picks that Netflix thinks will pique your interests.

Considering this is the arrival of the new Netflix look on the Apple TV,
after its arrived on other streaming boxes like Roku and smart TVs, this doesnt represent the arrival of anything new, just for Apples tvOS platforms. Netflix remains committed to not supporting or integrating itself as a
Channel within the Apple TV app, despite the wishes of many, including
myself, for its arrival. You may recall that there was a brief period when Netflix enabled this functionality in February 2025 , but it was short-lived... very short-lived.

Folks are quick to voice opinions of the new Netflix look arriving on Apple TV, though, with many sharing early opinions on the r/appletv subreddit. One complaint thats come up several times is around the sounds that Netflix has enabled for scrolling and even clicking through different content. Comment from r/appletv Comment from r/appletv

It seems that the beeps can get repetitive, and there is seemingly no way to turn them off. That happens even if you turn off menu sounds in tvOS
settings, as Netflix is apparently overriding it and not bound by this.

Others have simply called the refreshed UI Horrible or "Gross" and others are hoping for a slow rollout. Theres a good amount of sarcasm being used here as well, and while Netflix says that many subscribers are being quiet about how much they like it, it seems that the most vocal ones are still pleased with the fresh look.

One way to make subscribers who watch on Apple TV 4K a bit happier would be
to integrate with the Apple TV app, but I dont think Netflix will take the hint. You might also like Forget the airplane food, Im getting a full-serving of Severance on my next United flight This glorious iPhone app brings back
