Warner Bros. Discovery Lays Off Under 1,000 Employees, Cuts to Max Staffers in Single Digits

A new round of layoffs have hit Warner Bros. Discovery, though the number of employees affected in this wave is far less in comparison to the sweeping cuts made across the David Zaslav-led company last year.

Sources tell Variety that under 1,000 employees have been laid off across a few sectors in a new cost-cutting move at WBD, including finance, business affairs, production and at streamer Max. The insider says the vast majority of the eliminations were in the finance division, with less than 10 Max staffers affected in total.

Warner Bros. Discovery did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Deadline first reported news of the layoffs.
