Anne Sweeney has resigned from Netflix’s Board of Directors, effective immediately, the company disclosed in a July 26 SEC filing. Sweeney, a former co-chair of Disney Media Networks, had served on the streaming giant’s board since March 2015—a tenure of more than 11 years. She joined Netflix’s board a little over a year after leaving Disney to pursue a career as a television director. Her departure was announced in the regulatory filing on July 26, 2026. No reason for her resignation was provided in the filing. During her time on the board, Sweeney contributed to Netflix’s growth as a major entertainment company. Before her Disney role, she held various executive positions in television programming and cable networks, and her background in media strategy was seen as valuable for Netflix’s expansion into original content. Sweeney’s resignation reduces the board’s size, but the company has not yet announced a replacement. The filing did not indicate any disagreement with the company’s operations or policies. As of the effective date, Sweeney no longer holds any position with Netflix.
