Netflix said it’s boosting the prices for its subscription plans for U.S. subscribers starting today, a move that comes as the streaming service is making an expansion into live programming.
The streaming service said it added almost 19 million subscribers during the holiday season quarter, signaling that the new strategy is paying off.
The boost in subscription prices comes after the service last increased prices in 2023, while also beginning a crackdown on password sharing that same year. Although Netflix’s venture into live programming is primarily tied to its effort to sell more commercials, it also appears to be giving current subscribers another reason to stick with the service while also reeling in new viewers.
“As we continue to invest in programming and deliver more value for our members, we will occasionally ask our members to pay a little more so that we can re-invest to further improve Netflix,” the company said in a statement.
