Disney has begun laying off staff as part of its “strategic realignment”, with production operations across Disney TV Studios, Hulu, FX and Freeform now falling under Carol Turner and the creative acquisitions division closed.
Hulu’s SVP of production, Mark Levenstein, and Freeform’s SVP of production management & operations, Jayne Bieber, are among the casualties as Disney CEO Bob Iger begins to implement the plans he announced last month, to cut 7,000 jobs, slash $3bn from content spend and overhauling content operations.
