Netflix U.K. Layoffs Hit Up to 3% of London HQ, Production VP Anna Mallett Exits

Netflix's restructuring has reached its London headquarters, with up to 3% of staff laid off, the company confirmed. The cuts follow a U.S. re-organization last month and have also led to the departure of Anna Mallett, vice president of production for the U.K. and EMEA. Mallett, a key figure in Netflix's European content operations, exited amid the shake-up, signaling a broader realignment of the streaming giant's international production strategy. The layoffs and executive exit underscore Netflix's ongoing efforts to streamline operations and control costs as subscriber growth slows and competition intensifies. For the U.K. creative sector, the moves raise questions about the future of local content investment and leadership stability at a major global buyer. Netflix is expected to continue adjusting its workforce to align with evolving business priorities.
