Netflix’s Sarandos Says Film Strategy Will Not Change With Exit of Scott Stuber


Netflix is not going to shift its movie strategy in the wake of the exit of film chairman Scott Stuber, according to co-CEO Ted Sarandos.

He called out “Leave the World Behind,” the dystopian thriller from executive producers Barack and Michelle Obama that stars Mahershala Ali, Myha’la Herrold, Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke. Stuber, who joined Netflix in 2017 after serving as co-president of production at Universal Pictures, had dramatically increased the streamer’s original film output and forged important relationships with the likes of Oscar winners Alfonso Cuarón, Spike Lee and Martin Scorsese. Films coming to Netflix in 2024 include Zack Snyder’s “Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver,” as well as “Back in Action” with Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx, “Carry On” from Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment starring Jason Bateman and Taron Edgerton, “Spellbound” from producer John Lasseter, Eddie Murphy reprising his role in “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” and “Six Triple Eight” starring Kerry Washington and directed by Tyler Perry.
