Netflix, which streams the show ‘Derry Girls,’ said existing users would remain in their current plan, unless they change it. Netflix will launch its new ad-supported tier in November and charge $6.99 a month for the service, the company said Thursday, as it tries to attract new customers and improve its average revenue per user. The streaming giant said the new tier, called “Basic With Ads,” would initially be available in 12 countries including the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, Germany, Japan and Brazil, though it plans to roll out the service more broadly over time. Existing users would remain in their current plan, unless they change it, Netflix said.
