Netflix is offering free mobile subscription in this country

Netflix Free Subscription: One of the biggest and most popular streaming platforms in the world, Netflix, has announced to offer a free subscription of its mobile plan in Kenya. With this, users in the market will get access to about a quarter of TV shows and movies streaming on the platform. The idea behind this strategy is to grow its presence in the African market, a Reuters report stated.

Netflix has revealed that the free subscription plan will be available on Android only. With this initiative, the streaming platform hopes users will eventually sign up for a paid plan that offers more content across genres. The free plan provides access to some of the popular TV shows and movies including Money Heist, Bridgerton, and African series Blood & Water, among others. The good thing is, the mobile plan doesn’t contain advertisements.

With this initiative, Netflix is aiming to add customers in all the untouched markets. To attract customers in Africa, the video streaming platform is also investing in locally made programming including Queen Sono and Jiva. It has also partnered with production studios in Nigeria.
