It's 100% true, I recall reading an official Netflix report or interview where one of the people who worked on it was describing the process. They run a generator that takes screencaps from the shows and then do a bit of manual curation plus user testing (based on preferences) to see which ones have the highest conversion for certain preferences / cohorts. They even have an algorithm which pulls the best screenshots for thumbnails based on criteria like face-size and emotion https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1IlKPvn0BrVdJWAw05xOtF1_dwTB1zE_K4wBdlX_dwwE/edit#slide=id.g8ab9d6f4a4_0_62

Wow

about the Mitch being on the Netflix thumbnail. I learned, that Netflix will display a different thumbnail to their users for the same show based on their viewing habits. not sure if this is true, but wouldn't put it past them.
