This change applies immediately to new subscribers, while current subscribers will be notified 30 days before the new prices affect their account. The higher prices will allow Netflix to “continue investing in best in class UK productions and offer a wide variety of curated quality shows and films,” the report said.
In January, Netflix had increased the price of its monthly subscription plans in the US and Canada. In the US, subscribers to Netflix’s basic plan, which allows for one stream on one screen at a time and does not have HD streaming, is now $9.99 a month, up from $8.99 after the price hike in January.
