Warner Bros. Discovery on Thursday eliminated 29 positions in Europe, including top executives responsible for original programming, according to media reports.

Jonathan Young, VP of original programming and production at HBO Max for Europe, Middle East and Africa; Christian Wikander, VP of original programming for the Nordic region; and Annelies Sitvast, who oversees unscripted original programming were all let go as part of the conglomerate’s latest consolidation move. (Mia Edde, who headed up content acquisitions in Turkey, had already left the company.)

A rep for Warner Bros. Discovery did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The layoffs are the latest in Warner Bros.
