Netflix has named Peter Rice as its new chief content officer, replacing Bela Bajaria in the leadership role, according to reports from The New York Times and the New York Post. Bajaria had been in the chief content officer position since 2023, concluding roughly a decade of directing programming decisions at the streaming service.
Rice previously held executive roles at both Disney and Fox. The leadership change arrives as the platform conducts employee cutbacks amid falling audience numbers, according to the New York Post.
