NEW YORK (KMOX/AP) — Netflix subscribers are about to see an increase in prices.
The increases that were first announced by the online movie and TV streaming service in January are going to go into effect in May, per an email that was sent to all U.S. subscribers.
Plans in the United States will rise $1 to $2, depending on subscribers’ accounts. The basic plan will go from $8 to $9, standard plans with HD streaming on two devices will increase from $11 to $13, and the premium plan will jump from $12 to $14.
If you were new to Netflix in recent months, you're already paying the high price and your rates won't change.
The media provider sent emails to account holders this week reminding them of the update, according to CNN.
This marks the fourth time that Netflix has raised its U.S. prices; the last hike came in late 2017. But this is the first time that higher prices will hit all 58 million U.S. subscribers, the number Netflix reported at the end of September.
