Netflix is ​​cutting around 1,000 jobs

According to data from the end of 2025, around 16,000 people work at Netflix. The cuts are likely to affect around 1,000 jobs. Specifically, it concerns the areas of human resources and law as well as technology. According to the Wall Street Journal, it is the largest job cuts since 2022.

"Decisions like these are never easy, and we do not make them lightly," the statement said. Sarandos said at a conference a few weeks ago that Netflix was growing more slowly than he would have liked. The company is the clear number one in the streaming business with more than 325 million customer households (as of the end of 2025). However, it only publishes its user numbers irregularly.

Netflix will present its current quarterly figures next week. The forecast for the third quarter fell short of analysts' expectations.
