T3 has reached out to Netflix for comment.

Netflix has yet to officially announce an ads-based subscription tier with no details of price or what the advertisements will resemble. The majority of its competitors – HBO Max, Hulu, Peacock and Paramount Plus – all offer a cheaper ads option withDisney Plusalso set to introduce one for people in the US later this year.

After a rise in cost came into effect in March, the standard plan for Netflix currently costs $15.49 / £10.99 / AU$16.99 per month, A cheaper basic plan for fewer devices and a higher price for more devices with Ultra HD can be purchased too.

It’s been a rough couple of months for Netflix. Outside of the huge loss of subscribers, it’s also made lots ofshow cancellationswith over a dozen now not being renewed in 2022 alone. The biggest of which took place earlier this month in the form ofSpace Forcestarring Steve Carrell, which was confirmed to not be returning for a third season.

Netflix is alsoset to lose another major showat the end of the month with many of its competitors now keeping their TV series on their own streaming platforms instead. Netflix clearly believes an ad system for a cheaper price will be enough to retain/draw subscribers back, regardless of all this.
