Grab your wallet, because according to rumors, Netflix will become more expensive again. And that’s not all, because many popular series are disappearing. You need to know this!
More expensive prices at Netflix
Last year, Netflix introduced measures to prevent users from sharing their accounts with friends or family from another household. If you do so, you will have to pay a certain amount every month. In addition, the company announced price increases in the United Kingdom, France and the United States. It now appears that Netflix will most likely become more expensive again in 2024.

Higher prices have now been introduced in the United States and Canada, but a price increase is expected this year. While the Netherlands and Belgium escaped last year, there is a good chance that Netflix will become more expensive here again in 2024. Moreover, it is quite possible that Netflix will introduce a completely new subscription, where you will see advertisements. This is already known about the new prices.
Netflix is more expensive again: these are the rates
Netflix already raised all prices in the United States and a number of other countries last year. Subscription prices went up about two dollars per month. A new subscription was also added, where you see commercials between viewings. You will pay a lot less, but you will not get the best quality and the full range. In those countries, Netflix is making subscriptions more expensive again.
Prices are likely to rise again by about two dollars. As a result, users in the United States and the United Kingdom, for example, have seen their subscriptions become four dollars more expensive within two years. It is not expected that we will immediately see a price increase of four euros in the Netherlands and Belgium. Instead, Netflix will probably make the subscriptions two euros more expensive. You then arrive at these prices:
- Netflix Basic (
7.999.99 euros/month) - Netflix Standard (
11.9913.99 euros/month) - Netflix Premium (
15.9917.99 euros/month)
Major titles will disappear in 2024
In addition to the more expensive prices, Netflix has again announced the end of a number of popular series. Big hits like You, Elite, Stranger Things, Young Royals, The Umbrella Academy and Shadow and Bone all end in 2024. Most titles will have one more season, but then they will stop for good. These are all popular series, which subscribers will have to do without from the end of this year.

Netflix’s offering will therefore probably change considerably in the coming year. That is already visible Avatar has been available on the streaming service since last week. It is hoped that we will see even more notable new titles this year, especially now that so many popular series are ending. That has to be the case, especially now that Netflix has decided to make prices more expensive again.
Alternatives to Netflix
It remains to be seen whether Netflix will also overhaul its subscription options in the Netherlands and Belgium. There is no subscription (yet) where you will see advertisements. There is therefore a good chance that Netflix will introduce a similar subscription this year. SkyShowtime will start doing this soon, Netflix will probably follow later. That is an option to prevent Netflix from becoming more expensive again.
For the subscription with commercials you only pay $5.99 per month in the United States. That is cheaper than the current price of the Netflix Basic subscription, which costs 7.99 euros per month. Do you no longer want to pay for Netflix, or do you think the offer is becoming too meager? Then take a look at the offerings of other streaming services here, which often have much more to offer:
- Amazon Prime Video (4.99 euros)
- HBO Max Basic (5.99 euros)
- Apple TV+ (6.99 euros)
- SkyShowtime (6.99 euros)
- NLZIET (8.95 euros)
- Disney Plus (9.99 euros)
- Viaplay (15.99 euros)
- NPO Plus (2.95 euros)
- Videoland Basic (4.99 euros)
