Netflix has announced their pricing ahead of their launch in New Zealand tomorrow.

The TV and movie streaming giant will give users access to an array of content for as little at $9.99 per month.

However they are charging more for higher quality streams, with the cheapest option only streaming standard definition and a premium plan offering 4K ultra high-definition for $15.99.

They've also announced they'll have seasons one and two of Orange is the New Black on their service – a show that TVNZ previously had the rights for.

But there's still no word on whether they’ll have critically acclaimed political drama House of Cards.

Netflix plans

Single-stream standard definition plan - $9.99

Two-stream high-definition plan -  $12.99 

Four-stream 4K ultra-high definition "family" plan - $15.99
