Netflix Film VP Doug Belgrad Departs Amid Major Layoffs
Netflix is undergoing a significant corporate restructuring, resulting in the termination of approximately 1,000 employees, which accounts for about 6% of its total workforce. This reduction represents the largest staff cut in the company's history, primarily impacting departments such as product, technology, legal, and human resources. Among those departing is Doug Belgrad, the Vice President of Film, who joined the company in 2024. His exit follows a broader trend of downsizing at the streamer as leadership seeks to streamline operations. The company has expressed its commitment to supporting affected staff members during this transition.
