Deadline reports that a group of mostly former and some current Netflix executives has banded together in opposition to co-CEO Ted Sarandos's direction for the streamer. The item cites staffing changes as context: Bela Bajaria and about 1,000 Netflix staffers have been let go, and Peter Rice has come in as content chief.
