Following last week’s 6% workforce reduction at Netflix – which claimed victims including chief content officer Bela Bajaria and Lin’s right-hand Doug Belgrad – consensus said it was a matter of time before co-CEO Ted Sarandos would show Lin the door.

On the heels of the Bajaria news on Thursday, Sarandos rang Lin on Friday to tell him he’d been dismissed, three sources told Variety . The exec kept his head up and pressed on through the weekend, appearing at Saturday’s Academy Gala (in the same room as Sarandos) and at a Sunday tastemaker screening to support the filmmakers of “La Bola Negra.” As has been summarized in many articles about the Netflix purge, creative leadership at the company is being overhauled amid poor stock performance and declining user engagement on the platform.

Peter Rice, the veteran film and TV executive, will now preside over and shake up the platform’s content. Competing narratives are flying about why Lin was let go, but they arrive at the same conclusion: In the end, it wasn’t working.

Some say Sarandos is desperate to sell a story about growth to Wall Street (Netflix’s quarterly earnings report drops Tuesday). Others say Lin could not dance fast enough to find the balance between sticky streaming titles and theatrical release experiments (in fairness, he made it halfway through a five-year deal, barely enough time to get a casting announcement together by today’s standards).

There are also some interesting leaks around tension he’s said to have with A-list filmmakers like Greta Gerwig and Ben Affleck, which we’ll get to. The Lin era at Netflix was framed around austerity, both by the town and in some ways by “The Lego Movie” producer himself.

A June profile in the New York Times declared Lin was done “coddling” Hollywood, bragging he did not “fawn over stars or write blank checks.” The implication was that his predecessor Scott Stuber had overpaid for talent and too-ambitiously committed to a new Netflix movie release every week in 2022. Those efforts scaled back gradually until Stuber exited in mid-2024.

Lin entered with a red pen and a machete, the lore goes, in hopes of emphasizing quality over quantity. Some find it convenient that Stuber’s legacy is still being kicked up, perhaps to provide cloud cover for decisions made by Lin and his former boss Bajaria.

Amid the noise of the current Netflix layoffs, it’s important to remember that the prevailing logic at Netflix for a long, long time was “we don’t give a shit about theatrical,” said one colorful studio source. Releasing movies in theaters was never part of the Netflix business model.
