Starz Will Raise Its Subscription Price Starting At The End Of June - Report

Outlander and Party Down fans might see a small bump in their Starz package as it's about to cost a bit more to stream the channel. CNET is reporting that starting June 26, a subscription to the streaming service will go from $9 per month to $10. Yes, it's a single dollar, but it's also the first price increase for the platform service since 2016.

The change will coincidentally go into effect around the same time that Paramount+ bumps its prices when it integrates Showtime into the service. Disney+ is also expected to hike the price of its ad-free offering by the end of the year.

If you're comparing streaming prices, Starz's ad-free subscription now costs the same per month as Netflix's Basic ad-free tier, but it'll still cost less than the ad-less Hulu, Max, and Disney+ bundle. Starz currently offers a promotion where you can get three months for $9.

Starz offers series like Party Down, P-Valley, The Serpent Queen, and the fan-favorite Outlander, which premiered its Season 7 on June 16. Season 8 is also on the way, while a prequel series, Blood of My Blood, is in development. Party Down was revived after over a decade after its first two seasons, but its fourth season on the platform is not a done deal.
