TechCrunch (Layoffs) · United States · Oct 14, 2026
Netflix confirmed it is laying off approximately 1,000 employees, representing about 6% of its roughly 16,000-person workforce. Cuts will primarily affect product, tech, legal, and human resources departments, following Netflix's failed bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery's streaming and studio assets. The company says it remains on track to meet its full-year financial forecast and will continue investing in high-impact areas. HR and tech recruiter pipelines may see an influx of experienced Netflix talent across product, legal, and technology roles.
