After leaving Netflix, Stuber partnered with Amazon MGM Studios to revive the United Artists label, giving him a new platform for producing films for both theatrical release and streaming.

Early Life and Education

Scott Stuber was born on December 13, 1968, in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, California. He grew up in Southern California and later attended the University of Arizona, where he earned a degree in film.

After college, Stuber returned to Los Angeles and began working in the entertainment industry. His early experience inside the studio system helped him build the relationships and production knowledge that later made him one of Hollywood's most powerful film executives.

Universal Pictures

Stuber began his career at Universal Pictures as a publicity assistant to legendary studio executive Lew Wasserman. He gradually worked his way into production and eventually became co-president of production at Universal alongside Mary Parent.

In 2004, Stuber and Parent were named co-vice chairs of worldwide production for the studio. During that period, Stuber was involved with the kind of large-scale studio filmmaking that would define much of his career. In 2005, he and Parent signed a production deal with Universal under the banner Stuber/Parent Productions.

Film Producing

Stuber earned some of his first major producing credits with the 2006 comedies "The Break-Up" and "You, Me and Dupree." The following year, he co-produced the action thriller "The Kingdom," which was directed by Peter Berg and starred Jamie Foxx, Chris Cooper, and Jennifer Garner.

He continued with the comedies "Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins" and "Role Models" in 2008. That same year, he signed a five-year deal with Universal under his own production company, Stuber Pictures. He subsequently produced the romantic drama "Love Happens" and the ensemble comedy "Couples Retreat."

In the early 2010s, Stuber produced the horror remake "The Wolfman," the science-fiction action film "Repo Men," the romantic dramedy "Love & Other Drugs," and the fantasy comedy "Your Highness." In 2012, he had a particularly busy year with producing credits on "Safe House," "Battleship," and "Ted." The latter, directed by Seth MacFarlane, became a major box office hit and helped launch a franchise.

Also in 2012, Stuber Pictures was renamed Bluegrass Films. Stuber continued producing studio comedies, thrillers, and action films, including "Identity Thief," "Endless Love," "Kill the Messenger," "A Million Ways to Die in the West," "Ted 2," "Central Intelligence," "Patriots Day," and "Office Christmas Party."

Netflix and United Artists

In 2017, Stuber joined Netflix as the executive in charge of the streamer's original film operation. His arrival came during a major expansion period for Netflix, as the company shifted from licensing films to building a large slate of original movies. Netflix films released during his tenure included commercial hits, awards contenders, star-driven action movies, comedies, animation, documentaries, and prestige dramas.

In 2023, Stuber was named chairman of Netflix Films. He left the company in 2024 and soon moved into a new chapter of his career. That year, Stuber entered a multi-year partnership with Amazon MGM Studios to revive United Artists, the historic Hollywood label originally founded in 1919 by Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, and D.W. Griffith.

Under that arrangement, Stuber produces films through his company for the revived United Artists banner. After leaving Netflix, he also produced "Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere," a biographical drama about the making of Bruce Springsteen's 1982 album "Nebraska." The film starred Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen.

Television Producing

Although Stuber is best known for film, he has also worked in television. His early television credits include the TV movie "The Pink House" and the NBC sitcom "Whitney," which he executive-produced from 2011 to 2013.

He later executive-produced the action comedy series "Ryan Hansen Solves Crimes on Television," the ABC sitcom "The Mayor," and the pilot episode of the Netflix superhero series "The Umbrella Academy."

Personal Life

In 2008, Stuber married actress and model Rachel Nichols. The couple separated in early 2009 and divorced on account of irreconcilable differences.

Stuber married model and actress Molly Sims in 2011. Together, they have three children: sons Brooks and Grey and daughter Scarlett.

Real Estate

Scott Stuber and Molly Sims have owned several notable homes in Los Angeles and the Hamptons. In 2012, the couple reportedly bought a home in Wainscott, New York, for $5.5 million. The 5,500-square-foot Hamptons property gave the family an East End base at a time when Sims had already been associated with the area for years.

In 2015, Sims and Stuber bought a newly constructed home in Pacific Palisades. The house later received a major Architectural Digest feature, which described it as a family-friendly California home with canyon views, a clean modern design, a fire pit, a playroom, and a home theater that was especially important to Stuber. The home also included personal touches tied to Stuber's film career, including memorabilia from "Ted."

The couple also built a custom beach house in Sagaponack, New York. That home, designed as a modern take on a classic Hamptons shingle-style property, was created with large connected living spaces, guest quarters, and indoor-outdoor entertaining areas. The project was later featured by Architectural Digest as Sims and Stuber's customized Hamptons retreat.

In 2026, the Sagaponack home became the subject of a reported legal dispute involving alleged construction and design issues connected to the property's windows and building envelope. The lawsuit highlighted the scale of the project and the couple's continued investment in high-end Hamptons real estate.
