Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Netflix Co Founder Reed Hastings Steps Down As Chairman
Caption: Netflix Co Founder Reed Hastings Steps Down As Chairman. Reed Hastings is stepping down as chairman of Netflix, ending nearly three decades at the company he helped build. Hastings oversaw Netflix’s transformation from a DVD-by-mail service into a global streaming giant producing its own content. He said the decision was driven by a desire to focus on philanthropy and new projects. The announcement comes as Netflix reports strong financial results, with revenue up 16% in the first quarter of 2026, boosted by higher subscription prices and advertising income. Chief executive Ted Sarandos said the company remained focused on its core business despite a failed bid for Warner Bros Discovery. Despite the strong results, Netflix shares fell, as the company enters a new chapter without one of its founding figures.
