Netflix has rolled out a new subtitle option that focuses solely on dialogue, removing sound descriptions and speaker names. This feature aims to help viewers who find subtitles with noise descriptions, such as “car engine revs up” or “crowd shouts,” distracting. The change was announced on Thursday, providing users with a cleaner and more streamlined subtitle experience.
Earlier this year, Netflix made several changes to its subscription plans. This included a price hike and the introduction of an additional charge for family members who share an account but don’t live in the same household. Along with these adjustments, Netflix expanded its library with more original content and service upgrades to enhance user experience.

Currently, the new dialogue-only subtitle option is available exclusively in English and applies only to new Netflix original titles. The feature begins with the release of season 5 of You, a popular thriller series on the platform. Users who prefer this cleaner subtitle format will have the option to switch to it starting with this title.
For viewers who prefer the traditional subtitles, including speaker names and sound descriptions, Netflix still offers the standard English CC option in its settings. The dialogue-only version can be selected by choosing the regular English subtitle setting. Users can also customize the size and font of subtitles and choose from other languages, though the dialogue-only option is currently available only in English.
