Netflix is planning a substantial round of layoffs affecting approximately 5% of its workforce, or roughly 800 employees, according to sources. The cuts will primarily hit the creative team, including those working on features, and would represent the company's largest layoffs since 2022. The move comes amid slowing viewer engagement growth and investor skepticism about the streamer's long-term trajectory. Recruiters placing creative, content, and media production talent may see an influx of experienced candidates from Netflix entering the market.
