Warner Bros. Discovery's rolling layoffs have come to its television division, the studio responsible for shows including "Ted Lasso," "Abbott Elementary" and "The Bachelor."
The group on Tuesday disclosed a reorganization that will result in nearly a fifth of staff leaving the company, as parent Warner Bros. Discovery continues to seek cost cuts from the media mega-merger, according to people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to comment.
The television group, overseen by Warner Bros. Television Chairman Channing Dungey, is slashing 82 current employees and canceling 43 unfilled open positions, for a total headcount reduction of 125. The cuts account for 19% of current staff and 26% of the total group, including the open positions.
