Netflix is killing off its cheapest ad-free plan

Dave LeClair — Tue, 23 Jan 2024 22:46:59 GMT

Netflix plans seem to fluctuate constantly. A new plan is always coming out, or an existing one is being retired. Unfortunately, today's news revolves around the latter. Netflix has revealed to shareholders that the $11.99 per month ad-free plan will no longer be available to subscribers, forcing them to jump to a much more expensive plan if they wish to continue streaming without ads. This comes hot on the heels of the streaming giant announcing a $5 billion deal to be the exclusive home of WWE's Monday Night Raw, so there could be a connection between increased spending and dropping one of its more affordable plans.

The Last of Us season 2: Cast, story, rumors, more

The Last of Us was a smash hit for HBO as soon as it started airing in early January 2023 -- the first season wrapped, premiered, and streamed in full to a rapt audience and rave reviews. From the moment the trailers dropped through its season one finale, its viewership grew and grew into must-watch TV status. It wasn't just the fans of the video game who tuned in, viewership grew to 8.2 million by the finale, and personally, if they can get my 59-year-old horror averse mother to watch each week what she initially thought was simply "a zombie show," the showrunners did something right.

The Hunger Games is a franchise that consists of five Blockbuster movies, but it’s based on four equally popular novels by Suzanne Collins. It’s set in a dystopian future in Panem - a North American nation made up of 12 districts, with one Capitol ruling over all of them. As punishment for rebelling 74 years earlier, each district must select a boy and a girl between 12 and 18 to compete in the Hunger Games, an annual competition where the last remaining survivor wins. The Hunger Games are treated like a World Cup in the Capitol. But further away, in Panem, people are resentful about the Games.
