A system for providing a contextual layer for digital content, the system comprising a memory configured to store: contextual information regarding a digital content stream, wherein different sets of the contextual information are associated with different predefined parts of the digital content stream; a user profile that includes one or more prioritization parameters regarding the contextual information; and metadata generated in real-time regarding interaction with the digital content stream; a communication interface configured to receive a request sent over a communication network from a spectator device associated with a spectator of the digital content stream, wherein the request is associated with the user profile and concerns context for a specified scene within the digital content stream; and a processor configured to, in response to the request from the spectator device, identify that the specified scene is associated with at least one of the predefined parts of the digital content stream, retrieve one or more of the stored sets of contextual information associated with the at least one predefined part of the digital content stream, prioritize the retrieved sets of contextual information in accordance with the one or more prioritization parameters in the user profile, make a prediction regarding future interaction with the digital content stream based on historical data or statistical data, generate a contextual layer for the digital content stream provided to the spectator device, wherein generating the contextual layer includes filtering the prioritized sets of contextual information based on the prediction, and wherein the generated contextual layer includes a presentation of at least the filtered sets of contextual information to be overlaid on at least part of the specified scene within the digital content stream, and identify that the specified scene is associated with the at least one predefined part based on the historical data or the statistical data. a memory configured to store: contextual information regarding a digital content stream, wherein different sets of the contextual information are associated with different predefined parts of the digital content stream; a user profile that includes one or more prioritization parameters regarding the contextual information; and metadata generated in real-time regarding interaction with the digital content stream; a communication interface configured to receive a request sent over a communication network from a spectator device associated with a spectator of the digital content stream, wherein the request is associated with the user profile and concerns context for a specified scene within the digital content stream; and a processor configured to, in response to the request from the spectator device, identify that the specified scene is associated with at least one of the predefined parts of the digital content stream, retrieve one or more of the stored sets of contextual information associated with the at least one predefined part of the digital content stream, prioritize the retrieved sets of contextual information in accordance with the one or more prioritization parameters in the user profile, make a prediction regarding future interaction with the digital content stream based on historical data or statistical data, generate a contextual layer for the digital content stream provided to the spectator device, wherein generating the contextual layer includes filtering the prioritized sets of contextual information based on the prediction, and wherein the generated contextual layer includes a presentation of at least the filtered sets of contextual information to be overlaid on at least part of the specified scene within the digital content stream, and identify that the specified scene is associated with the at least one predefined part based on the historical data or the statistical data. <EOS>
