4 articles · Updated · Deadline · May 11
Prime Video gave a series order to Escorted, an eight-episode, half-hour single-camera romantic comedy created by and starring Brett Goldstein.
Escorted follows a divorced Manhattan father who accidentally becomes a male escort, centering on sexual dynamics, secrecy and whether intimacy can be bought.
Goldstein will write, executive produce and co-showrun under his Warner Bros. Television deal, with Brian Gallivan as co-showrunner and executive producer; Josh Senior and Molly Mandel also executive produce.
The pickup adds to a busy slate for Goldstein, whose Netflix film Office Romance premieres June 5, while Ted Lasso is targeting an August return and Shrinking has already been renewed for a fourth season.
How will Brett Goldstein's new series balance romantic comedy with the complex realities of the escort profession?
As streamers bet on unconventional romance, can a show about buying intimacy become Prime Video's next heartfelt hit?
