After rolling out a Material You redesign in December, the Google TV Android app is now readying a homescreen widget.

With version 4.38.7.4(from December) Google TV is appearing in the Widgets list, but it’s clearly not ready.

At the moment, all you get is a short bar where “Google TV” is flanked by search (opens the keyboard) and remote shortcuts.

Given the size, it appears that Google TV will show content recommendations directly on the widget, which is what other streaming services (e.g., Hulu and Netflix) offer.

Back in September, it introduced the concept of widgets optimized for tablets.

Today, Google Keep places shortcuts on the right, while the Drive widget offers more actions on larger screens.
