Get ready to pay more for Netflix’s priciest plan.
Subscribers to Netflix’s Basic and Premium plans will be paying more, with prices rising to $11.99 and $22.99 per month in the US.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Netflix last raised its prices in March 2022, bringing the Premium plan to $19.99 and the Standard tier to $15.49.
The streamer stopped offering its $9.99 Basic ad-free plan to new and relapsed users in July, forcing them to fork out more to avoid ads.
“As we deliver more value to our members, we occasionally ask them to pay a bit more,” Netflix writes in its letter to shareholders.
Earlier this month, The Wall Street Journal reported the streamer would raise the cost of its subscription a “few months” after the Hollywood actors strike ends, and now it’s happened even though the actors are still striking.
Last month, the Writers Guild of America ended their strike after reaching a deal with services like Netflix to provide streaming data, higher minimum pay, and better residuals.
Meanwhile, the service is also debuting its Squid Game reality show and Scott Pilgrim anime in November, while also adding Across the Spider-Verse later this month.

Another reason I won’t be returning as a customer.
Management every time they increase the price.
Bye bye Netflix. Onward to the high seas.
The only reason I keep it is because my son watches Number blocks and other educational videos there. But I did downgrade from 4K to HD and I’ll likely downgrade again at the next price hike.
Or you can download all of your kids shows and host it on a Plex or jellyfin server for them.
