Netflix witnessed strong subscriber growth in the previous quarter aided in part by its popular hit original series that are bringing in a lot of new subscribers for the online streaming company. Not too long ago the company tweaked its prices and now Netflix CEO Reed Hastings is once again talking about potential price increases, but does point out that subscribers don’t immediately have to worry about paying more for access to Netflix’s gigantic content library.

Hastings says that price increases can’t be ruled out for the future as the company works to add more content to its library with strong focus on exclusive content.

Netflix has already scored several hits with original series like House of Cards, Orange is the new Black and even The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, aside from these popular shows it has also invested in Marvel’s Daredevil, Sense8 and is also making original movies.

Regarding price increases Hastings says that the company is going to “take it very slow,” over the next few years the company will be able to add more content to its library and then “price that appropriately.”

Hastings also said that the company plans to motivate subscribers to upgrade to high-def, UHD and multi-stream plans which are a bit more expensive instead of the single stream standard-def plans.

Netflix revealed in its quarterly earnings report this week that it has more than 65 million subscribers across the globe with 42 million based in the United States.
