Anna Mallett Exits Netflix Amid UK Layoffs

Anna Mallett is leaving Netflix as part of layoffs affecting the company’s London office, according to Deadline, which reports that around 2% to 3% of the UK base of several hundred staff has been cut.

Deadline says Mallett, Netflix’s VP of Production in the UK and EMEA, is among those departing. It also reports exits in areas including PR and marketing.

With only the RSS summary available, the firmest version of the story is also the simplest one: this is not just a change in one senior role but a round of cuts that, according to Deadline’s account, reaches across multiple functions in London. Mallett’s inclusion gives the move particular weight because she held a senior production brief spanning the UK and EMEA.

The limits matter here. Deadline says it was told about the layoffs and the departures, and the available summary does not include comment from Netflix or any fuller explanation for the cuts.

Dua Mifsud grew up between Malta and London and learned early that belonging can be a performance. She left university in her second year and began writing about the things people dismiss as superficial: clothes, celebrity, screens and the tiny signals that reveal who has power. Her brother is the only person she trusts without qualification. Dua reads fashion as language and pop culture as evidence. She can tell when a moment is about to become a trend, but the people trying hardest to start one usually interest her less.
