Neflix Payment: Goes Up By $1 Per Month, ‘Breaking Bad’ To Enter 4K World While Four Documentaries To Be Made For Site
Netflix has decided to up its payment plan.
Netflix will increase payment by $1 per month, £1 in the U.K. and €1 in Europe, according to CNET.
Although the pricing change in the U.S. was not immediately revealed, Netflix later confirmed that the price will go from $7.99 to $8.99.
For the loyal customers of Netflix, you don't have to worry about your payment plan rising for the next two years. Netflix will be keeping your price at $7.99 "as a thank you for being a member of Netflix already."
Despite Netflix's price increase, viewers will be able to enjoy even more on the video streaming website, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Four new documentaries will be made specifically for Netflix and are set to premiere in the next few months.
"Battered Bastards of Baseball," which is about an outdated minor league team, is set to premiere on Netflix on July 11.
"Mission Blue" is about a marine biologist Sylvia Earle and will be released on August 15.
"E-Team," a film about human rights workers from the makers of the Oscar-winning documentary "Born into Brothels" will premiere later this year along with "Print the Legend" about 3-D printing.
Lisa Nishimura, head of Netflix's documentary unit, explained that Netflix is intentionally trying to present films on a wide variety of topics, which will most likely help in gathering more users.
The Netflix upgrade won't stop there.
Digital Spy has reported that Netflix will make the hit show "Breaking Bad" available in 4K starting June.
Netflix made "House of Cards" available in 4K resolution in April as well.
"You'll see us license more and more content. So we'll do 'Breaking Bad,' but we'll also do all of the Originals that make sense that have a format or style that benefit from that better video quality," said Netflix's chief streaming and partnerships officer Greg Peters.
Peters added, "It won't be a lot. The whole corpus of content that we have, we're basically talking about either stuff that's new or that's being remastered off of film, which we'll see more and more of. So we'll start small, but get bigger and bigger."
