This price increase is reportedly the largest in history for the streaming service, ranging from a 13-18 percent increase, depending on the plan. The increase will become effective immediately for all new members, and will be phased in over the next few months for current members. This is reportedly the fourth time the streaming service has increased its prices since it launched in 2007.
Along with this price increase comes a six percent stock boost for the company, as its price increases have historically been good for the streaming giant’s investors. Some other countries, including those in Latin America and the Caribbean, will also receive higher rates. Some major international markets within those areas, including Mexico and Brazil, won’t be impacted by the change.
While regular price increases are standard, these could be coming specifically to offset the growing costs Netflix has taken on during its recent buying spree. It reportedly outspent every major Hollywood studio last year, even buying its own production studio.
The constant stream of new and acquired content is evident, with all of the new films and shows that came to the service in January 2019, like the upcoming FYRE documentary, the creepy Lifetime show You, various fantastic horror movies, and more which join the likes of Netflix originals like the highly successful Bird Box.
\r\nExecutive-produced by Star Wars Rebels creator Dave Filoni, this anime-inspired series debuted on Disney Channel in October 2018, and centers around Kazuda Xiono, a young pilot recruited by the Resistance and tasked with a top-secret mission to spy on the growing threat of the First Order. Set before the events of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the show also features BB-8, Poe Dameron and Captain Phasma, with Oscar Isaac and Gwendoline Christie reprising their big screen roles.

Though Netflix continues to be extremely successful, it will have to continue providing quality content to stay on top, as incoming streaming competition is growing by the day. The Disney+ streaming service is set to launch this year, bringing with it much of Disney’s considerable back catalogue and fresh new content, like the original Star Wars show The Mandalorian.
