Working at Disney wouldn’t be the happiest place on earth, at least according to Ted Sarandos. The Netflix co-CEO said Tuesday he’s not considering jumping over to Disney, despite the high-profile job opening coming with the company looking to replace Bob Iger as chief executive in early 2026.

“It’s not even on my mind,” Sarandos said about the top job at Disney, while speaking at the WSJ Tech Live conference in Laguna Beach, California.

He added: “Honestly, I think what we are doing is so exciting.”

Sarandos’ answer comes a day after Disney announced it would name James Gorman chairman of the board.
