Netflix has some new TV and movies with ASL interpreters (using the SignUp app)!

A dream five years in the making.

When SignUp Media was founded in 2021, this was the vision: to make the world’s most loved entertainment accessible to Deaf audiences everywhere.

Today, we are incredibly proud to announce a first-of-its-kind milestone: 200+ hours of Netflix Kids & Family content are now available in American Sign Language (ASL). This is the first time Netflix has offered this scale of ASL accessibility, and we feel privileged to work with them to help make this possible.

200+ hours of Netflix Kids & Family content, 25 movies, 41 franchises, and 18 incredible native Deaf SignUp interpreters bringing beloved stories to life in ASL.

From a dream imagined five years ago to a groundbreaking collaboration with Netflix. This moment represents the power of technology, creativity, and the belief that everyone deserves to experience the joy and connection of storytelling.

We are so grateful to the team at Netflix and the incredible SignUp Media team who have helped make this possible.
