Netflix Sci-Fi Hit 15 Million Views Means Your Next Subscription Hike Is Coming—Here’s How Much More You’ll Pay
If you haven’t watched that Netflix sci-fi hit yet, your wallet is about to feel the burn. The streaming giant just announced its new series smashed 15 million views in its first week, but here’s the catch: that success is funding your price hike. Industry insiders say Netflix is using blockbuster numbers to justify higher subscription costs. Expect an extra $2 to $3 per month by summer. That’s $24 to $36 more a year—just for one show you might not even like. And it doesn’t stop there: your other streaming apps will follow suit, so lock in your current plan now before the next bill hits.
