Dan Lin Tapped to Replace Scott Stuber as Netflix Film Boss


The Rideback founder has worked a producer on the 'Sherlock Holmes,' 'It' and 'Lego Movie' franchises.

He made Airbender for Bela Bajaria, who ran the TV unit and gained oversight of the film arm in January 2023, when Netflix named her chief content officer. “While I’ve been approached many times during my past 15 years at Rideback, I could truly never imagine leaving until Bela reached out with this incredible opportunity,” Lin said in a statement provided after THR broke the news of his hiring. Once he accomplished that, he pushed Netflix to expand into blockbuster movie territory, courting filmmakers such as Zack Snyder, the Russo brothers, Michael Bay and Rawson Marshall Thurber, and starting franchises like Extraction, The Gray Man and Knives Out.
