Audio Description for TV shows and movies
Audio Description is an optional narration that describes what is happening on screen, including physical actions, facial expressions, costumes, settings, and scene changes.
It is available for most Netflix original titles and many other TV shows and movies. We are always working with studios to make them available for more titles.
See all titles available with Audio Description, or look for the Audio Description badge
on a title's details page. Some TV shows may not have Audio Descriptions available for all Seasons or Episodes.

If you have to reset your audio every time you try to watch, play a title with a maturity rating of Teens or above for 2-3 mins to set your preferred audio language. This will save your settings for future viewing.
