If you use Netflix through something like Xfinity's over the top system, it should go to a live EAS alert. If you're using it through a browser, it will not. If you feel this deserves attention, I'd suggest contacting your legislator to introduce legislation to require it (as Netflix and other streamers aren't going to implement it without regulatory requirements).

You'd probably want said legislation to cover any over the top device (Chromecast, Fire stick, Roku).

If you are using it through a smartphone, it won't, but the phone will, so there's that.
