Netflix Film Executive Niija Kuykendall to Depart After Three Years

Kuykendall's exit marks another leadership change as Netflix continues to restructure its film division under new leadership.

Niija Kuykendall, VP of Film at Netflix, will leave the company at the end of the year after a transition period.
She has been with Netflix since October 2021, overseeing faith-based, young adult, and holiday films.
Kuykendall's departure follows the exit of her former boss, Scott Stuber, and the appointment of Dan Lin as the new head of film.
Her projects include Tyler Perry’s 'The Six Triple Eight' and Malcolm Washington’s 'The Piano Lesson.'
The restructuring at Netflix involves shifting film oversight to genre-specific pods, affecting the distribution of Kuykendall's responsibilities.
