Netflix is bringing back free trial offers for select new customers after nearly six years, according to multiple reports. NDTV and Mint say the change is live in some markets and that Netflix has confirmed the return of the promotion. Free trial duration is not uniform: users report being offered different lengths, including 30 days, 15 days, 14 days, or 7 days. GSMArena adds that the offer varies by user rather than clearly by location, and notes that trials may still require selecting a paid plan during sign-up, with billing set to start automatically when the trial ends.
Several sources describe eligibility as conditional. Free trial options appear during account creation if the account, device, and location meet Netflix’s criteria, but the offer may not show for every new registration. Reports also emphasize that Netflix’s automatic renewal is enabled by default, meaning users are generally charged after the trial unless they cancel beforehand.
Mint also mentions that, alongside Netflix’s trial return, Disney+ is exploring ways to offer free streaming content to boost its appeal, highlighting ongoing competitive pressures in the streaming market.
