The Netflix comedy went back into production in September.

• Netflix's film chief Dan Lin is out after two years.
• He's the latest top exec to exit following a 6% cut at the streamer, its biggest since 2022.
• New content chief Peter Rice will oversee film until a successor to Lin is announced.

Film head Dan Lin is out at Netflix, the latest exec to be ousted in the wake of the streamer's biggest layoff since 2022.

Lin was hired as film chair in 2024 with a mandate to bring greater cost discipline and variety to Netflix's films, which had focused on big-budget output under his predecessor, Scott Stuber. Lin cut big upfront paychecks to actors, reduced staff, and reorganized his department. He oversaw a slate that included Oscar-winning "KPop Demon Hunters," "Happy Gilmore 2," and "Frankenstein."

Lin's exit is the latest big shocker at Netflix. Also out in recent days was chief content officer Bela Bajaria, who was replaced by Hollywood veteran Peter Rice, a former exec at Disney and Fox.

Rice will oversee film until a new head is announced, Netflix said in a statement confirming Lin's departure.

Last week, Netflix laid off 1,000 employees, or about 6% of global head count. That was the streamer's largest cull since 2022, when the company lost subscribers for the first time in more than a decade.

The streaming giant has been hampered by slowing engagement growth and a stock price that has declined more than 40% over the past year. The streamer is contending with the rise of free, ad-supported streaming led by YouTube and the popularity of social video. In recent months, Netflix has turned to podcasters and creators to bulk up its library.

Netflix is set to report third-quarter earnings after the bell on Tuesday.

Momenti di autentica tensione nel centro storico di Olbia, dove il set blindato della super-produzione Netflix “Un weekend da bamboccioni 3” è diventato teatro di un’aggressione improvvisa. Tre giovani, determinati a violare i cordoni di sicurezza per assistere ai ciak delle star hollywoodiane Adam Sandler e Salma Hayek, hanno scatenato una violenta sassaiola contro il personale di vigilanza. Il bilancio è di una guardia giurata ferita e di un fuggitivo già rintracciato dalle forze dell’ordine.

I disordini si sono innescati ai varchi di accesso di piazza Matteotti e nel tratto transennato di via Regina Elena, le due aree del cuore cittadino attualmente interdette al pubblico per consentire lo svolgimento regolare delle riprese. Secondo le ricostruzioni, il gruppo composto da tre ragazzi ha preteso di superare i controlli per introdursi nell’area del set. Di fronte al netto rifiuto degli addetti alla sicurezza, la situazione è rapidamente degenerata: i giovani hanno iniziato a scagliare pietre e bottiglie di vetro all’indirizzo delle guardie giurate poste a presidio dell’ingresso.
