Netflix Prices Going Up For Florida Residents: Here’s Why
Netflix prices are going up again but this time it’s only for Florida residents. So, not only is a standard ad-free Netflix subscription right now $15.49 per month but soon in Florida it’s gonna be more. Because of Florida’s communication services tax Netflix users will be taxed at 5.07%. This is all part of the sales of communication services tax. Finally, this will all begin on February 15.
If you have the Netflix basic plan, that will cost you $11.99. Secondly, the premium plan is $22.99. Finally, they do have an ad supported plan and that is $6.99. Obviously with the new Florida tax being tacked on in February these prices will be a little bit more than what is listed here.

Netflix New Releases for January 2024
Streaming giant Netflix has a lot of highly-anticipated movies to offer their subscribers. From comedies to grisly dramas, the streamer’s January releases feature some of our favorite actors and producers. With the writers and actors strikes over, streamers and production companies are releasing projects that have been held off due to production being shut down in the latter half of 2023.
New Film and Television Series in 2024
For Netflix, one of the streamer’s highest-profile new series, 3 Body Problem, was bumped out of 2023 and into 2024. This is the first post-Game of Thrones show from creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss, arriving in the Spring. The sci-fi drama has been in the works since 2020, starring Eiza González, Benedict Wong, and Game of Thrones alums John Bradley, Liam Cunningham, and Jonathan Pryce. Additionally, the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series is just as highly anticipated for fans of the beloved original Nickelodeon animated series. It will be coming to the streamer in late February.
Sofia Vergara stars as real-life Colombian cartel boss Griselda Blanco in a miniseries, looking completely unrecognizable. In it, she creates one of the most profitable cartels in history. With six episodes that are each an hour long, Griselda creator Eric Newman said Vergara was perfect for the role “not only because she, like Griselda, is a single mother who came to America from Colombia with nothing and built an empire, but because it was unexpected of her to do. Sofia has been thought of one way, a beautiful and brilliant comedic actress, and she is so much more than that.”
For the movie fanatics, Netflix has a few standout films kicking off January alone. Another standout project is Society of the Snow, the harrowing story of the Uruguayan rugby team that crash-landed in the Andes mountains in 1972. Kevin Hart offers a new comedy in a heist film, and Dan Levy directs and stars in a dramedy titled Good Grief. Coming in March, Millie Bobby Brown stars in a fantasy action movie called Damsel. Later in the month, Lindsay Lohan stars in her second rom-com, Irish Wish. April brings Zack Snyder’s sequel, Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver.
