Dan Lin is out as Netflix's film chief, according to TheWrap and Deadline. TheWrap said Netflix declined to comment and credited Puck's Matt Belloni with first reporting the news.
Lin took over Netflix Film in April 2024 after Scott Stuber. TheWrap reported that his mandate was to spend less on fewer, better movies, and that he reorganized the division by genre while pushing for more comedies, romantic comedies and book adaptations.
The departure follows other changes in Netflix's content leadership. Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria left the company the previous week, and film executive Doug Belgrad was also let go. As of October 19, Deadline said no interview process had begun and there was no definite word on who would fill Lin's vacancy.
