- Netflix is cutting roughly 1,000 employees in ongoing layoffs, with scripted TV executives among those now publicly identified as departing.
- Lisa Lang McMullen, Director, Overall Deals, Series, joined Netflix in 2021 from Disney after 12 years there and is among the Director-level departures.
- James Oh, also a Director of Drama Series since 2021, previously served as SVP at Jerry Bruckheimer Television before the streamer.
- Andrew McQuinn, Director of Original Series since 2018, has worked on American Primeval, Griselda, and Zero Day; he previously was at ABC Signature.
- Carolina Garcia, a Netflix veteran who joined in 2016 and worked on Stranger Things, departs after nearly a decade, having previously been at 20th Century Fox Television.
- Manager-level departures include Jason Pan (Manager of Original Series) and Aaron Davidson (Manager of Adult Animation Comedy), joining the four Directors out the door.
Why it matters: Six named scripted-side exits — including the executives attached to flagships like Stranger Things and recent releases Zero Day and American Primeval — leave Netflix's drama and original-series pipeline thinner just as the streamer trims about 1,000 jobs overall, concentrating senior greenlight experience on a smaller surviving team.
