Disney prepares for largest staff cuts of 2026 affecting thousands
Disney is planning a major round of layoffs expected to impact thousands of employees across its operations in 2026.
Management targets expense reductions
Managers have been instructed to cut annualized expenses by 20 percent. This move marks the fourth round of job reductions under CEO Josh D'Amaro this year. The company aims to reinvest the resulting savings into film, television programming, and theme parks.
Previous cuts set pattern
Disney has already reduced hundreds of roles in human resources and IT departments earlier this year. Earlier job eliminations occurred in July and April within corporate functions and specific studios. Some operations will face disproportionate effects, though specific areas remain undisclosed.
