Netflix Animation Reshuffle with Hannah Minghella to Lead

Key Points:

• Netflix has reorganized its executive roles, appointing Hannah Minghella as head of Netflix Animation Studios to focus exclusively on animation, overseeing three studio facilities and over 1,000 employees globally.
• Kira Goldberg, previously VP of film handling thrillers, dramas, and faith-based stories, will now also oversee live-action family films, expanding her existing portfolio.
• Animation has become a major growth area for Netflix, with hits like KPop Demon Hunters and Swapped, and upcoming projects including Steps, Ray Gunn, The Buried Giant, and an animated Charlie and the Chocolate Factory slated for 2027.
• Minghella will also work on expanding animated franchises into live events and consumer products while continuing to manage live-action projects such as Greta Gerwig’s Narnia and Eloise.
• Both executives remain key members of Netflix’s film leadership team, with Minghella joining from Bad Robot in 2024 and Goldberg arriving from 20th Century Fox in 2018.
