Android TV 8.0 “O” is getting a new UX launcher (UI) that allegedly “makes it easy to find, preview, and watch content provided by apps”. The launcher is customizable as users can control the channels that appear on the homescreen. Developers will be able to create channels using the new TvProvider support library APIs.

You can see the launcher seems to be completely revamped with inline videos. As you highlight over a certain item, a video can start playing and the background transitions to new colors based on the thumbnail. These videos come from different sources, like Netflix (or Kodi), and provides a much faster way of accessing content. It will be coming with Android O.

You can take a look at both in this CNET interview with the Android TV lead.
There are now also an additional demo available in yesterdays Google I/O 2017 session “What’s New in Android TV“ (from 6PM PST on the 17th of May):
