Britbox Price Increase Takes Effect, New Premier Plan Offers Binge Releases
Britbox subscribers are looking at a bigger bill the next time they have to pay. The price went from $8.99 to $10.99/month. The price of the annual plan is $109.99.
But the service now has a new option called BritBox Premier for $149.99/year. Is it worth the upgrade?
$10.99/mo.
What is BritBox Premier?
The new tier offers more value for fans of British television.
- 4K UHD streaming on supported titles and devices
- Download titles for offline viewing
- Access to BBC Select documentaries and factual series
- Streaming on up to 4 devices at the same time
But the biggest benefit may be the ability to watch episodes earlier than standard subscribers. Premier subscribers may see some titles a full month before their general release.
If you look at Britbox’s full title list, you’ll see the Premier-only titles noted with a little crown icon.
Unfortunately, the Britbox Premier level is not available if you want to use Britbox as a Prime Video channel.
Is Britbox Worth the Higher Price?
For fans of British television, services like Britbox, Acorn TV, and PBS Masterpiece provide a great variety of murder mysteries and top-notch acting. If you like that kind of content, Britbox is probably worth the splurge.
You’ll be able to watch popular series like:
- Downton Abbey
- Lynley
- Doctor Who
- Code of Silence
- Sherlock (2010)
- Pride and Prejudice (1995)
- Happy Valley
- Ludwig
- Death in Paradise
- Wuthering Heights
- Line of Duty
- A Spy Among Friends
- Midsomer Murders
British streaming services are enjoying the best growth of any content category. According to analytics research firm Antenna, 5 million Americans subscribe to a British streaming service and Britbox is the most popular choice.

The British streaming category is growing an eye-popping 18% a year. So if you’re tired of waiting around for your next Netflix binge, a British streamer may be right for you.
