Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026

  • Netflix will introduce generative AI-powered midroll and pause ads for its ad-supported plans starting in 2026.
  • The rollout comes after Netflix introduced its subscription plan with ads back in November 2022 and began experimenting with pause ads starting in July 2024.
  • Netflix showcased these AI-generated interactive ad formats during its recent Upfront event, highlighting integration with first-party data and expanded programmatic options.
  • Netflix’s ad-supported subscription option now attracts 94 million active users around the world each month, with about half of recent sign-ups opting for the $8 ad-supported plan, while ad-free subscriptions begin at $18 per month.
  • This development suggests Netflix aims to increase revenue through innovative advertising while balancing subscription costs and user experience compromises.
