Brett Goldstein’s Romantic Comedy ‘Escorted’ Is Coming to Prime Video as a Series
In the upcoming romantic comedy Escorted, a divorced father living in Manhattan inadvertently finds himself in the role of a male escort. The series explores themes of sexual dynamics, secrecy, and the complexities of genuine intimacy.
Brett Goldstein, who stars in the series, will also serve as executive producer, writer, and co-showrunner under his overall deal with Warner Bros. Television, the studio producing the show. Brian Gallivan, known for his work on Shrinking and Happy Endings, will join him as an executive producer and co-showrunner. Josh Senior, from The Bear, and Molly Mandel will also be executive producers on the project.
“I’m so excited to bring a wholesome show about condoms, co-parenting, and cosplay to Amazon – the place where I actually buy my condoms, so it feels like a real full circle moment,” Goldstein remarked.

Channing Dungey, Chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. Television Group and WBD US Networks, praised the series, stating, “Brett and Brian deliver a hilarious, modern take on relationships, grounded in a heartfelt story about a single dad navigating love, parenting, and life.”
Peter Friedlander, Head of Global Television at Amazon MGM Studios, added, “What makes Escorted so compelling is that beneath all of the chaos, comedy, and secrecy is an unexpectedly tender story about people searching for connection. Brett Goldstein and Brian Gallivan have crafted a series that feels daring, emotionally authentic, and entirely original, and we’re thrilled to bring it to Prime Video audiences worldwide.”
Goldstein is also preparing for the release of his film Office Romance, a romantic comedy for Netflix co-starring Jennifer Lopez, set to premiere on June 5.
