Jeff Gaspin, who leads Netflix’s unscripted programming as the streamer’s VP of Unscripted Series, is stepping down from the role, according to multiple outlets. Variety reports that he exits after a little more than two years and will depart effective July 1. The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline similarly describe his decision as a shift away from the unscripted leadership position.
The reporting indicates Gaspin took the Netflix job in February 2024, moving from his prior work at NBCUniversal, where he previously served as chairman of NBC Universal Television Entertainment. At Netflix, he reports to Brandon Riegg, a VP of nonfiction series, as described by Variety.
Across the sources, the consistent point is that Gaspin is not leaving Netflix entirely. Instead, Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter state that he will return to a producing role with the streamer. Details on who will take over the unscripted VP responsibilities were not included in the provided excerpts.
