Erik Gruenwedel August 17, 2026 Veteran communications executive Katie Martin Kelley is leaving Warner Bros. Studios to join Netflix as VP of communications, Film, reporting to Chief Communications Officer Dani Dudeck, effective Sept. 8. She replaces Emily Feingold, who left Netflix after eight years. Martin Kelley is joining Netflix as the streamer prepares to launch two big-budget theatrical releases in 2027: Greta Gerwig's Narnia: The Magician's Nephew and Charlie vs the Chocolate Factory. Netflix, in a shift from its legacy streaming-first corporate mindset, has secured exclusive theatrical windows for the big-budget movies before their debut on the streaming platform. "I'm excited to welcome Katie to Netflix … I look forward to partnering with her as we support Netflix's ambitious global film slate," Dudeck said in statement. Martin Kelly has more than 20 years of senior communications experience in Hollywood, including most recently three years as EVP of communications for the Motion Picture Group, managing media relations and corporate comms for Warner Bros. Pictures, New Line Cinema, Warner Bros. Pictures Animation, and Warner Bros. Clockwork. She held similar positions at MGM Studios prior to its sale to Amazon, and before that 12 years at Paramount Pictures. Subscribe HERE to the FREE Media Play News Daily Newsletter!
