Disney continued to make cuts across the studio’s film division on Wednesday, following its acquisition of Fox’s film and TV entertainment assets.
A few dozen employees were affected, according to an individual with knowledge of the layoffs.
This most recent round of layoffs is the smallest so far after Disney’s $71.3 billion acquisition of Fox, but details of which departments within the studio’s film arm were hit were unclear.
In May, Fox’s corporate communications team was among the departments hit in the second round of layoffs on the film side.

Additional layoffs are coming for Disney and Fox, a spokesperson for Disney confirmed to TheWrap on Wednesday.
The cuts are set to take place across Walt Disney Studios, which now includes Fox, but details about which departments are expected to be impacted are being kept private until the staff is notified. The number of staffers expected to lose their jobs was not disclosed.
The spokesperson didn’t provide any additional information.
An individual with knowledge of the situation, however, told TheWrap that Fox senior vice president of corporate communications, Chelsey Summey, who has been at the studio for more than seven years, was part of the Wednesday’s layoffs. Summey oversaw the studio’s external and internal communications, including box-office reporting, trade media relations, transactional announcements and internal communications.
She was promoted to her most-recent post in 2017, and prior to joining Fox she served in various corporate communications and publicity roles at Paramount.

The announcement was made by Karey Burke, president of ABC Entertainment, and Craig Hunegs, president of Disney Television Studios, to whom she will report.

When Disney executives visit the Fox lot in Century City, the home of their newly acquired TV and film studios, they’re greeted by a big new banner that says “Welcome to Fox” and doors newly painted with the word “Fox.”
It’s not so much a welcome as a way of marking territory, one Fox insider told TheWrap Friday, three days after Disney closed its $71.3 billion acquisition of 21st Century Fox’s film and TV assets — and two days after it started layoffs that are expected to cost as many as 4,000 Fox employees their jobs.
The insider said the banner and “Fox” logos, which went up Thursday, were a way of reminding Disney that under the new deal, it is renting the Century City property from Fox: “This is still our lot.”

Dana Walden, the newly-entrenched chairman of ABC Entertainment and Disney Television Studios, attempted to rally her new staff on Friday, amid company-wide layoffs following the close of the Disney-Fox merger.
“I am almost overwhelmed by the excitement I feel for our future,” Walden wrote in an internal memo. “We are now positioned to win, big time, and I am grateful to Bob [Iger] and Peter [Rice] for giving me this opportunity.”
Walden’s memo comes as many Fox employees — mostly on the film side — are being laid off as Disney integrates Fox into its operations. The layoffs have affected a couple of major TV executives — Twentieth Television president Greg Meidel and 20th Century Fox TV Distribution president Mark Kaner.

At long last, Disney has completed its $71.3 billion acquisition of 21st Century Fox’s film and TV assets.
With the deal wrapped up, Disney will take over ownership of 20th Century Fox film and TV studio, cable networks FX, Fxx and National Geographic, and certain cable and international television assets. Disney also acquires Fox’s 30 percent stake in Hulu, giving it majority control. The new assets should strengthen Disney’s position as a content behemoth, especially as it launches Disney+ later this year, its own streaming competitor to Netflix.
“This is an extraordinary and historic moment for us–one that will create significant long-term value for our company and our shareholders,” Disney CEO Bob Iger said. “Combining Disney’s and 21st Century Fox’s wealth of creative content and proven talent creates the preeminent global entertainment company, well positioned to lead in an incredibly dynamic and transformative era.”

The Foxes are raiding the Mouse House..
The Walt Disney Co. on Monday announced that the two longtime Fox executives will come aboard to head the media giant’s entertainment-television operations — Rice as chairman of Walt Disney Television, and Walden as his top lieutenant overseeing ABC, Freeform, and most of the new company’s studio units. They will be joined by a flotilla of key Fox execs, including FX’s John Landgraf, National Geographic’s Gary E. Knell, 20th Century Fox Television’s Jonnie Davis and Howard Kurtzman, and Fox 21’s Bert Salke.
The newbies’ arrival heralds a new era at Disney, one in which the company’s lucrative television business will shift from a traditional model focused on linear programming to one built to power forthcoming direct-to-consumer ventures. It also bodes uncertainty for the folks who have spent the last few years running that traditional model.

Disney’s $71.3 billion acquisition of most of the assets for 21st Century Fox is marrying two very distinct brands and two very different corporate cultures. The company, led by chairman and CEO Bob Iger, took the first step in the process today, announcing the top Fox TV executives who will make the move to Disney when the transaction is completed in early 2019.
There had been a lot of anticipation for the deal, which would create mega film and TV studios and cement Disney’s position as world’s top entertainment company. But now that the euphoria over the blockbuster pact is beginning to subside, questions are re-emerging about the practical side of integrating the Fox assets and executives into the Disney portfolio and team. As one observer put it, “the honeymoon is over.”

Sesame Workshop is producing a new primetime television special called "When Families Grieve" featuring Katie Couric and the Sesame Street Muppets. The hour-long HD special will present families' personal stories about coping with the death of a parent, along with strategies that have helped families move forward.
"Death and loss are a part of life, but they are very difficult for adults to discuss, much less children," said Katie Couric. "I'm honored that Sesame Street, with its long history of tackling difficult issues with sensitivity, caring and warmth asked me to be a part of this important project. I hope that it will provide families with the tools to help them cope, begin the healing process and ultimately adjust to their 'new normal' in the healthiest way possible."
"Sesame Workshop has always been at the forefront of creating resources for families with young children to help address some of life's most difficult issues.
