Popular Streaming service provider, Netflix is discontinuing its free plan in Kenya starting November 2023, in what is potentially going to cut off thousands of subscribers who have enjoyed free access since 2021.

In a message to users on Tuesday, Netflix said that once the free service is deactivated, the subscribers’ membership will automatically be cancelled and consumers will be required to upgrade to one of the paid plans available.

“On November 1, 2023, the Free Plan will no longer be available and your membership will end. If you want to cancel, no action is required. Your membership will be automatically cancelled when the free plan ends,” reads the email sent to subscribers.

The plan was launched in September 2021 and it allowed users to access a limited selection of content without the need for a paid subscription.
