Media companies like Paramount, Warner Bros Discovery, and Disney have continued layoffs in 2025 amid streaming challenges, AI integration, and post-strike adjustments. Reports indicate ongoing cost-cutting, with Disney announcing up to 200 job cuts in film and TV divisions by late 2025.

For 2026 forecasts, analysts predict further reductions: PwC's Global Entertainment Outlook projects 5-10% workforce shrinkage industry-wide due to AI automation in production and consolidation among studios. Variety reports expect Warner Bros. to shed more roles in marketing and distribution, while Paramount eyes additional 500 cuts tied to its merger prospects. Broader trends include linear TV declines accelerating layoffs at networks like CNN and NBCUniversal.

I don't have additional specifics beyond these public forecasts—check sources like Deadline or Variety for updates.
