Adverts aren’t the only inconvenience on the cheaper plan
Subscribers to Netflix’s adverts tier will not be able to watch dozens of TV shows and films on the platform.
The plan, titled Basic With Adverts, launched in some major markets around the world in November 2022. The cheaper plan costs £4.99 a month – down from £9.99 for the normal subscription – in exchange for adverts being shown during the movies and shows you’re watching.
After the introduction of the new plan, there were reports suggesting the cheaper plan also removed access to up to 10 per cent of Netflix’s library for subscribers in the United States.
Now, the series and films blocked to ad tier subscribers in the UK have been confirmed by What’s On Netflix, and there are some big titles in there.
A general theme linking most of the blocked shows is that they are Universal productions, whilst a lot of DreamWorks titles for children are also included.
Hit shows such as It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Homeland and House of Cards are also missing from the ad tier.
In total, 55 titles are blocked on the cheaper plan, which represents about 0.7 per cent of the streaming platform’s total library.
You can see the full list of blocked content on the ad tier plan in the UK below.
