Netflix is finally adding the much-anticipated ‘Shuffle Play’ button after the streaming giant was spotted testing the feature last year.

Shuffle Play will work by picking content for users based on their viewing habits, similar to a ‘I’m Feeling Lucky’ button, if fans are feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of choices.

Netflix’s COO and chief product officer Greg Peters says the fun feature is for users to “indicate to us that they just want to skip browsing entirely, click one button and we’ll pick a title for them just to instantly play.”

The company announced the impending addition of the feature during its financial results, reports Variety. While Netflix has not officially confirmed the name of the feature, it was named ‘Shuffle Play’ during the testing.
