What’s Going on at Lionsgate?
Lionsgate is moving forward with a fresh round of staff cuts, eliminating around 50 roles across the company—roughly 5% of its current workforce, according to confirmation by The Hollywood Reporter.
- The latest move brings the studio’s total headcount reduction to 13% over the past year

In an internal memo to employees, CEO Jon Feltheimer said: “These are difficult decisions impacting colleagues with whom we have collaborated for years and who have made valuable contributions to Lionsgate’s success.”
The job cuts align with broader belt-tightening across Hollywood, where studios continue to adapt to post-strike industry conditions, streaming slowdowns, and the end of the Peak TV era.
