Netflix loses executives linked to Harry and Meghan projects amid cuts
Netflix has lost two senior executives described as champions of Harry and Meghan, as the streamer cuts staff and reviews projects said to deliver little financial return. The changes may affect the couple’s work with Netflix, while the company’s new content chief is expected to prioritise programmes with broader commercial appeal.
Carolina Garcia, who oversaw Netflix’s relationship with the couple’s Archewell Productions, has left after a decade, and Bela Bajaria has also departed. The article says the cuts are part of a wider reduction of around 1,000 jobs, and that Meghan’s lifestyle series was not renewed while Harry’s polo series also struggled. Netflix’s previous leadership said projects with the couple remained in development; the company has not publicly confirmed that the executives’ departures were linked to Sussex projects.
