The fourth season of Stranger Things was a hit, the premiere of the fifth series of Cobra Kai has also progressed, and although I can’t think of any other titles at the moment, I will undoubtedly put it down to the lack of time to see other films. and series because I’m sure the dean’s platform for streaming this type of content during this year 2022 there will be other very interesting versionsand there are still four months left to complete this list. Even if you’re a weekly subscriber to our release roundup, you won’t find Netflix’s most anticipated 2022 premiere in all of its releases this year.

I mean, of course, the ad-supported subscription plan. Yes, the one that at the beginning of the year they said was not in their plans, but that after a disturbing end to the first quarter marked a 180 degree turn, when in reality we should say that there were two consecutive turns of 90 and more 90, since then Netflix first stated that they were studying it but in the medium term (some time in 2023 or 2024) but that it eventually accelerated to the point where it is expected to debut in some markets by the end of 2022. A pretty smart move, in my opinion, since the debut of a similar plan on Disney + is also scheduled for this year.

Of course, there are many doubts about this ad-supported plan: their prices, the number of advertising inserts, their format, how snug they will be… and this in a company that pays attention to detail that we can describe as excellent, will undoubtedly put a lot of work in their offices. A lot of work has been concentrated in “little” time, because even without leaving their usual work model, they have to keep deadlines much lower than they normally use.

We still don’t know the price of Netflix’s ad-supported plan, but according to Bloomberg Netflix is ​​considering a monthly fee of between seven and nine dollars. We’re talking, of course, about the price in the United States, which will almost certainly be the first market to receive this new plan. At the moment, it is not known if this will be the only market in the debut of the new plan, or if, on the contrary, Netflix intends to cover some other geography from day one.

Be that as it may, the scope proposed by Bloomberg is quite broad. To understand it better, we need to remember it Netflix’s basic plan has a monthly fee of $9.99 in the United States, and we can think that the conditions of both plans, the basic and the one that includes advertising, will be similar (one concurrent access, one device with offline content and no access to HD content). But it also doesn’t have to be, because as we told you a few days ago, it can have even more restrictions, from access to less content to the inability to download content and consume it offline.

So, pending the final terms of this new plan, the price difference would be between an interesting 30% if it ends up costing seven dollars and offers the same as the base plan, and a measly 10% if Netflix finally sees the difference. only one dollar between the two plans and also imposes additional restrictions. A big difference that will most likely determine your success or failure. What do you think the final price will be? And do you think Netflix’s ad-supported plan will succeed?
