Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX) is cutting roughly 2% to 3% of its London-hub workforce and parting ways with Vice President of Production for the UK and EMEA Anna Mallett as part of a wider corporate retrenchment. The regional downsizing follows the streaming giant's prior announcement to eliminate about 1,000 roles worldwide, or approximately 6% of its global employee base, amid Wall Street scrutiny over decelerating top-line momentum.
### Story Arc / How We Got Here Today's reduction in London follows previous third-quarter 2026 reporting where Netflix posted $12.9 billion in revenue—an 11.8% increase from the year-ago period—alongside a post-release 6% share price decline and a 44% pullback from prior highs as subscriber growth moderates relative to its scale. For background on that quarter's financial trajectory, see our prior coverage at /explore/netflix-q3-revenue-climbs-118-as-shares-sink-6-post-report.
### Operational Restructuring and Executive Turnover The departures extend beyond regional production into PR and marketing units, reflecting aggressive cost-containment across corporate functions and international production divisions. Mallett's exit follows high-profile leadership changes at headquarters, including the departures of former content chief Bela Bajaria and film division head Dan Lin, with veteran media executive Peter Rice stepping into leadership.
