Netflix's German-language film chief Sasha Bühler exits after seven years

Sasha Bühler, Netflix's Director of Film for German-speaking Europe, has left the streamer after seven years, confirmed by Netflix and first reported by Deadline on 19 August 2026. No next move has been announced. Katja Hofem now leads all Netflix programming for Germany — series, film, unscripted and acquisitions — consolidating German-language oversight under one executive. Bühler's credits include the four-time Oscar winner 'All Quiet on the Western Front'.
