If you’re a fan of shows like Russian Doll, Stranger Things, or Sex Education — you should thank Cindy Holland, vice president of original content at Netflix. Holland is the behind-the-scenes dealmaker responsible for expanding Netflix’s fiefdom of binge-worthy entertainment.
Cindy Holland and Natasha Lyonne are the masterminds behind some of your favorite Netflix shows
Holland, who runs original content for Netflix, and Lyonne, who recently produced the show Russian Doll, will speak with Recode’s Kara Swisher at Code Conference 2019.
Shirin Ghaffary was a senior Vox correspondent covering the social media industry. Previously, Ghaffary worked at BuzzFeed News, the San Francisco Chronicle, and TechCrunch.
Of course, none of these programs would be possible without creative talent such as Emmy-nominated Natasha Lyonne, co-creator, writer, director and star of the critically lauded, fan-favorite series Russian Doll.
Recode’s co-founder and editor at large Kara Swisher will speak with both Holland and Lyonne at this year’s Code Conference on Tuesday, June 11.
We’re excited to ask Holland and Lyonne about what it’s like to create a hit show like Russian Doll, what they think of tech companies, and the industry’s growing influence on media.
