Netflix has just announced a new price increase in the United States. But does this increase concern France, where prices have already been revised upwards in the summer of 2021?
Netflix is kicking off 2022 by offering new series, films and documentaries to discover in January, such as the new series Archives 81 or the movie The grip of vice with Alyssa Milano, before offering the highly anticipated season 4 ofozark or the new fiction of Shonda Rhimes Inventing Anna. And to put season 2 online in the spring of The Bridgerton Chronicle, and this summer season 4 of Stranger Things, whose actors have changed a lot since the launch of the series. So many events that fans are waiting for but which may not be enough to make American subscribers swallow the pill: netflix has just announced a new increase in its prices in the United States and Canada. The standard subscription, offering access to two simultaneous screens and high definition, will thus go from 13.99 dollars to 15.49 dollars per month. This is the most popular subscription plan and, with this increase, netflix thus becomes the most expensive platform in this region of the world. The platform had already increased its prices a year earlier. But what about France? Will this new price increase also apply to us?
No further increase in Netflix prices in France
According to our information, the price increase in the United States will not be passed on to France for the moment. netflix has increased the price of its subscriptions in France in the summer of 2021, for the fourth time in seven years, since its arrival in France. On the other hand, something unprecedented, the readjustment of prices in the summer of 2021 concerned for the first time the price of the basic offer, which had not changed since the launch of netflix in France, while the other formulas have increased by 50% in 7 years.
