The next phase in Netflix‘s growth could be live streaming.

According to Deadline, a Netflix team is already in “the preliminary stages of developing the product.” A live streaming option may be applied to live voting in Netflix’s competition series like the upcoming dance show Dance 100, live reunions for reality shows such as Selling Sunset and the live performances for their events such as the Netflix Is A Joke festival, wherein the stand-up sets of Pete Davidson and Amy Schumer were filmed and are set to hit the streaming service in a month.

If the feature does come to fruition, Netflix may have the option to release new and different types of unscripted shows similar to American Idol and Dancing with the Stars — on top of their titles such as The Circle and Love Is Blind.

Stay tuned for more info.
