Netflix has announced another series of price increases, but not for everyone.

As of October 18, the basic and premium plans will cost more in the US, UK, and France. The basic plan is now $11.99/month (up from $9.99/month); the premium plan is $22.99/month, from $19.99/month.

The vast majority of users, however, will be on the standard plan. For now, that remains untouched. The basic plan allows users to stream up to 720p on one device at a time. The premium plan, as the name would suggest, is for a little bit extra: streaming in Ultra HD and on up to six devices.

“While we mostly paused price increases as we rolled out paid sharing, our overall approach remains the same — a range of prices and plans to meet a wide range of needs, and as we deliver more value to our members, we occasionally ask them to pay a bit more,” Netflix wrote in a letter to shareholders (viaThe Hollywood Reporter).

If you’re sticking with the streamer, you’ll need something to watch. Here is our collection of thebest Netflix showsand thebest Netflix movies.

I’m the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you’ll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
