EXCLUSIVE: A major restructure is underway at Netflix as Deadline is hearing 15 people will be laid off as the company begins a reorganization of its film department. No names were given as to who would be let go, and sources say Netflix could potentially restock with new names, but insiders say new film studio chief Dan Lin delivered the news Monday morning.

The restructuring comes following the news last month that Lin would be replacing Scott Stuber as the head of the film division. Stuber said at the top of the year he would be leaving the post, and Netflix moved quickly to fill the position.

More from Deadline

Under the new structure, Ori Marmur will be on action, fantasy, horror and sci-fi titles, while Kira Goldberg will oversee thrillers, dramas and family films. Niija Kuykendall will handle faith-based, young adult and holiday offerings, and Jason Young will oversee comedies and rom-coms.

Insiders add that this reorg has been in the works for the past month and that the features division will be split up by genre.
