DC Universe was among the divisions hit by significant layoffs amid WarnerMedia’s restructuring efforts.
WarnerMedia representatives declined to comment but, according to The Hollywood Reporter on Monday, the majority of the staff at the 2-year-old streaming service has been let go as the company shifts its focus to the recently launched HBO Max. The future of the platform remains unclear.
Also affected by the layoffs are staff at WarnerMedia-owned DC Comics. An individual with knowledge of the matter told TheWrap that employees at various levels of the company have been let go, though Jim Lee remains Chief Creative Officer at the venerable comic book publisher.
