Netflix will finally launch its new ad-supported tier for a few dollars per month beginning in November, signalling yet another sign that the once disruptive upstart streaming service has gradually evolved into a cable package by another name.
Netflix announced today that its new Basic with Ads tier will be available for $6.99 in the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Spain, and the United Kingdom on November 3rd, 2022. Basic with Ads will give subscribers access to a large portion of Netflix’s programming in exchange for forcing them to watch an average of four to five minutes of ads per hour. But not the entire platform’s catalogue.
