Dudeck joins at a time when Netflix really needs to get its own messaging out there with regard to the Warner Bros. takeover.

Netflix is reportedly close to acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery's assets, aiming to bolster its position against YouTube. Co-CEOs Greg Peters and Ted Sarandos reassured staff about continuing theatrical releases.

Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos said Paramount’s hostile bid for Warner Bros. Discovery was “entirely expected,” but the exec said he remains “super-confident” in the streaming giant’s plan to close the deal.

Ted Sarandos scored a critical sit-down with President Donald Trump in the weeks leading up to Netflix’s successful $82.7 billion agreement to buy Warner Bros. and HBO Max, according to sources familiar with the confab.

The Netflix co-CEOs were interviewed hours after a hostile offer for Warner Bros. from Paramount.

Netflix is chill.

Netflix has appointed Dani Dudeck as chief communications officer. She starts on Jan. 12 and will report to co-CEO Ted Sarandos. Dudeck is joining Netflix from Instacart, where she serves as chief corporate affairs officer.
