Peacock has unveiled the first trailer for Paul T. Goldman, a wild new comedy series from Borat Subsequent Moviefilm director Jason Woliner and Seth Rogen.
Woliner has been shooting the project for over a decade. It’s in the style of Woliner’s work on Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, a series “that fact and fiction to tell a bizarre and incredible tale.”
Woliner explains how he embarked on the project in a letter that accompanies that show’s announcement. He wrote that Goldman tweeted at him (and hundreds of others) in 2012 that he had written a book and screenplay about “an incredible tale” and was seeking help to bring it to the screen. Woliner ended up buying the book, and ten years later, we have the Peacock series which stars Goldman himself.
Woliner directs and executive produces the six-episode series. Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Loreli Alanis executive produce for Point Grey Pictures, along with Megan Ellison for Annapurna and Michael Sagol and Bert Hamelinck for Caviar. Tyler Ben-Amotz serves as producer for Caviar. Paul T. Goldman is produced by Point Grey Studios and Caviar.
Paul T. Goldman debuts on Peacock on January 1.
