Kenyans can now pay for Netflix through Mpesa Global. For the past two years, Kenyans have enjoyed a free plan from Netflix, the world’s leading streaming service, allowing access to a wide selection of movies and TV series. However, as of November 1, 2023, this free plan is no longer available. The good news is that Netflix members in Kenya can still enjoy their favorite entertainment by upgrading to one of the paid subscription plans specifically designed for the Kenyan market.
Netflix has shown a strong commitment to enhancing the user experience for its members. One significant initiative was the reduction in subscription prices by up to 37%, making it possible for subscribers to access their favorite TV shows and movies for as low as KES 200, delivering exceptional value.
Netflix continues to offer a diverse range of content to its Kenyan subscribers, including popular titles like “Squid Game: The Challenge,” “Rebel Moon,” “Anikulapo: The Series,” and “Yoh’ Christmas.” There are also exciting upcoming licensed Kenyan titles, such as the series “Volume,” the drama series “Siri,” the drama film “An Instant Dad,” and the mystery and crime thriller “Villains in the Metropolis.”
