If you’ve been following along with Indiana mole woman turned city girl Kimmy Schmidt from day one, you might have noticed that she’s usually not too aware of what’s going on around her. In fact, if she was perusing her own Netflix page, she probably wouldn’t have noticed that Netflix has added a secret feature to the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt home page. Hopefully Tituss would have been there to steer her in the right direction, though. The new feature called “Kimmy-Fy” shows up as an icon next to the “My List” icon, and it allows any subscriber to view their Netflix homepage through the eyes of Kimmy (in similar fashion to the John Stamos April Fool’s prank). The rad new feature has surfaced just one day ahead of the show’s season two streaming debut, which is tomorrow April 15th.
