Binge-watching Arrested Development just got a little more expensive, we're afraid... yet again. Per reports, Netflix has raised the monthly price of most of its subscription plans in the U.S. and Canada. The move comes, Variety suggests, as "the streamer looks to generate more revenue from a slower-growing base of customers." Notably, the platform is expecting to have its best year yet in the 2022 film awards season, with red-hot titles like Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog and Paolo Sorrentino's The Hand of God leading a charge set to reap dividends. So we guess it's time for the streaming of artsier fare to get that bit more taxing, too. The price increases, announced today, will see Netflix's standard plan go up by $1.50 in the United States to $15.49 per month. In addition, the slightly swankier premium plan - with four streams and the offer of 4K Ultra HD content, for those of us out there with the snazziest widescreens - is getting hiked up by $2, to $19.99 per month. The basic plan is going up to $9.99 per month, the slightly less egregious increase of just a buck.
