Annapurna Cuts About 30 Jobs in Cross-Division Realignment

Annapurna calls the reduction a response to shifting market conditions with support pledged to impacted employees.

Overview

  • Annapurna disclosed Wednesday that it laid off roughly 30 employees, a reduction that represents about 16 percent of its roughly 189-person workforce.
  • Reports say the cuts were made across the company’s film, television and indie games divisions rather than tied to a single project.
  • A studio spokesperson said the move is a companywide realignment driven by shifting market conditions and that affected staff are being supported through the transition.
  • Coverage is still developing on whether any top-level executives were among those let go as the company continues to respond to inquiries.
  • Annapurna was founded by Megan Ellison and remains active on a 2026 production slate, and industry watchers will be watching for further staffing changes or impacts to upcoming releases.
