The rumor had been circulating for several days. After the arrival of advertising and the completion of account sharing, the Netflix platform announces a new price list for three countries: the United States, Great Britain and France.
The information was released by the streaming giant itself, which announced a celebratory increase in its results: 8.76 million additional subscribers in the last quarter. A number that exceeds estimates and is very encouraging considering the competition in the streaming world.
Two of the four packages are affected by price increases. The advertised €5.99 and the standard €13.49 package do not change. On the other hand, the Essential package at €10.99 increases by €2, as does the Prenium package, which goes from €17.99 to €19.99. As our colleagues at BFM point out, this latest package is up 66% since 2014.
If Netflix’s results are good, why are they raising prices? Available to all in his press releaseThe platform is justifying this increase with the recent writers’ strike – now over – and the actors’ strike, which is currently ongoing.
“The past six months have been difficult for our industry, given the collective strike of writers and actors in the United StatesThey explain. Although we have reached an agreement with the WGA, negotiations with SAG-AFTRA are ongoing.“
They continue: “We are committed to resolving the remaining issues as quickly as possible so that everyone can get back to work making movies and series that audiences will love.”
