Bubble EU: Netflix raises prices
Netflix raised the prices for new customers in Europe for both disc and digital users. Here’s what The Hollywood Reporter has had to say:
The increase, which will only affect new customers, will see the price for a standard Netflix subscription increase from just under $10 (€8.99) a month to just over $11 (€9.99).
In the mail to Netflix users, the company wrote that the price increase was necessary to “continue providing good series and films.” Netflix’ basic, non-HD subscription will remain unchanged at $8.86 (€7.99) a month, as will its premium subscription at $13.30 (€11.99).
The increase will affect most European countries where Netflix operates, including Germany, France and the Netherlands. In Switzerland, the company announced a similar hike, increasing its standard subscription to $15.26 (CHF 14.90) a month from $13.20 (CHF 12.90). Netflix made a similar price increase in the UK and on some of its Nordic offerings earlier this year.
The increase doesn’t seem major, and it’s still a heck of a lot cheaper than buying a movie or a season’s worth of episodes for a show.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
