- The streaming giant recently sacked its chief content officer, the chairman of Netflix Film, and 1,000 staff members across tech, legal, product, and HR departments.
- Co-chief executive Ted Sarandos reportedly warned that recent releases lack the punch of previous hit series such as Stranger Things, Wednesday, and Squid Game.
