New Apple TV 4k will not open Netflix app - how can I fix this? There is a Blue circle under Netflix logo

I also had the Netflix app problem and updating the Apple TV firmware fixed it.

You would expect a brand new unit to have current firmware, but of course the unit could have been sitting in a warehouse while firmware updates rolled out.

No, just go to Update Software and click it to manually force all updates. I just left automatic updates ON (that is not capturing this needed update)...

Please update TV OS on your Apple TV and then re-attempt to launch Netflix!!!

There are lots of articles on the Internet and on You Tube that show you how. Here is the link to Apple's instructions on how to do it.

I just bought a new 4K ATV last week and it had updates available brand new out of the box. Did you turn off automatic updates and then check for updates?

Please contact Netflix for support on their app.

Having this problem. Started earlier this week. I’m no tech idiot... literally part owner of an IT security & compliance company. Things I’ve tried:

1. Delete App and reinstall.
2. Check for AppleTV software updates.
3. Complete AppleTV Reset and Update.

Seems like there’s an update that’s causing the issue and no one will take ownership of the problem. Someone better figure it out soon otherwise I’m switching to Firesticks and dropping Netflix.

My husband told me it sounds like Netflix dropped support on tvOS’s software for anything before patch 14.0 with Netflix’s most recent update. So it would make sense why Netflix is breaking so bad if a lot of people are on a version before 14.0.

Are you telling me you have not installed the Netflix app on your Apple TV 4K? If that is the case that is the first thing to do. Please read the following to learn how to add apps to your Appel TV 4K.

Purchase and download apps on Apple TV

I’m literally having the same issue. I just purchased a brand new 4K Apple TV and the Netflix app appears on my home screen with a blue dot to the left of the Netflix brand and when I click to open it it, it flashes open quickly and shuts down. I have unplugged my TV and the Apple TV. I have restarted the Apple TV. I have deleted the Netflix app and download it again. Nothing is working. Please help.

There are no updates available... I just purchased this device. Have not even had the 4K a full 36 hrs and none of these suggestions are working. The device has been rebooted several times, there automatic updates have been turned off and turned back on, the Netflix app has been uninstalled and re-installed and the app still will not open...

I have factory reset appletv , unplugged/reset modem, unplugged power to tv and appletv, updated appletv to 14.4, deleted and re-installed netflix. All i get is the the netflix logo and the loading circle. I can never get to the sign in screen or anything. Any other ideas?....This is driving me nuts

using older tv that doesnt require update. But re did everything still the same thing. I even switched it to my LG smart tv that is updated and same thing. Netflix symbol with the load symbol underneath it. Pretty frustrating right now.
