Dan Lin has been dismissed as Netflix‘s head of film after almost three years, multiple sources tell Variety.

Even if expected, it’s a significant shoe to drop following a layoff bloodbath last week at the streamer. Roughly 1,000 employees got the chop, capped by the shock firing of chief content Bela Bajaria. Lin was let go at the start of the weekend, two sources added, and will address his teams throughout the day on Monday. The executive attended Saturday’s Academy Gala, and was spotted Sunday evening at a tastemaker screening for “La Bola Negra” on the Netflix campus.
