That grace period stretches until October 2016 for existing customers and longtime customers who currenlty pay $7.99 a month will continue at that rate until May 2016, The Washington Post reported.

The $9.99 fee for the standard service will allow users to watch on two screens at the same time. There is a basic service for $7.99 that allows one screen at a time.

Premium service for $11.99 allows up to four screens and HD and Ultra HD when available.

The price hike will allow Netflix to create more original content, The Washington Post reported.
