Netflix is undergoing a strategic shift in its film production approach under the new leadership of film chief Dan Lin, who was appointed to enhance the focus on audience appeal and cost efficiency. The strategy emphasizes producing content that resonates more with viewers rather than prioritizing artistic auteur-driven projects, including moving away from high-budget action movies and big-name stars. This pivot has led to the cancellation of projects like Kathryn Bigelow's next film.

Sarandos has reiterated the company's commitment to making quality films, responding to criticisms by affirming that Netflix continues to produce and aims to improve great films.
