Disney is trimming its workforce, primarily from teams handling marketing, publicity, casting, development, and finance in the Entertainment departments.
Financial pressures due to declining movie distribution and television viewership have led Disney to cut costs and reduce jobs.
Under CEO Bob Iger, Disney announced plans to cut 7,000 jobs to save costs, with recent layoffs affecting divisions like ABC News and aiming to save $5.5 billion.
Recent rounds of job cuts in September 2024 and March 2025 saw approximately 300 and 200 employees affected, respectively, as part of Disney's ongoing cost-saving measures.
