Netflix’s Ted Sarandos Says Disney CEO Job Is ‘Not Even on My Mind’
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos doesn't have any interest in becoming the next chief exec of Disney.
He was responding to a question by interviewer Emma Tucker, editor in chief of the Wall Street Journal, about whether he was interested in taking on the Disney CEO job. Asked what TV shows or movies he wished Netflix had produced or acquired, Sarandos said “there’s a bunch of them” and specifically cited FX/Hulu’s “The Bear” and Apple TV+’s “Ted Lasso,” which have both garnered major awards wins. Asked about Netflix’s advertising-supported tier, Sarandos noted the company has 40 million users on the ad plan and that base is “growing pretty quickly.” The ad tier, he said, is a way to “open up the larger addressable market” for consumers who want to buy a Netflix subscription at a lower monthly price.
