EXCLUSIVE: Veteran TV executive Jeremy Gold, who has been at Blumhouse Television for eight years, most recently as President of Production, is stepping down. He is transitioning to a production deal with the indie studio for his newly launched Gold Company.
Gold serves as an executive producer on three upcoming series for Amazon, which are tentpoles on Blumhouse TV’s 2024/2025 slate. That includes The Bondsman, starring Kevin Bacon, from creator Grainger David and showrunner Erik Oleson, which is currently in production in Atlanta; The Sticky, starring Margo Martindale, from creators Brian Donovan and Ed Herro and producers Jamie Lee Curtis and Megamix’s Jonathan Levine; as well as Scarpetta, based on Patricia Cornwell’s best-selling book series, which is eying a two-season order, with Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis starring and executive producing and Liz Sarnoff showrunning.
Additionally, Gold is shepherding several projects at Blumhouse TV, with the studio having first-look at his development. He is expected to take out the first pitch under the new agreement shortly.
Gold joined Blumhouse in 2016 to co-run the television division as co-President with Marci Wiseman. He briefly assumed the position solo following Wiseman’s 2020 exit until Chris McCumber was appointed as President of Blumhouse Television and Gold became President of Production. Gold stepped into the top role again on the interim basis after McCumber’s departure in October as the company launched a search for a replacement. TV scripted head Chris Dickie also stepped up at the time to assist Gold during the transition.
With horror-action series The Bondsman starting up after being delated by the SAG-AFTRA strike, Gold’s transition to producer was expedited so he could be involved in the show’s day-to-day production. The search for a new Blumhouse Head of Television continues.
Before Blumhouse, Gold was EVP, Creative Affairs for Endemol Studios, where he shepherded such series as Hell on Wheels (AMC), Kingdom (DirecTV) and Low Winter Sun (AMC). He previously served as SVP Comedy at Fox Broadcasting Co., where he helped developed such series as American Dad, The Bernie Mac Show and Arrested Development.
