Goldman’s recent projects include the upcoming Peacock series “Ponies,” which premiered January 15, 2026, and stars Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson; the Max/New Line horror-comedy “The Parenting;” and the Emmy-nominated Showtime/Paramount+ documentary “Nothing Lasts Forever.” Across both film and television, he has built a reputation for producing inventive, culturally resonant work that spans independent breakouts and acclaimed studio titles.

His broader credits include the Emmy-nominated Netflix series “Russian Doll;” Jeff Nichols’ Academy Award nominated “Loving;” Sundance breakout “Ingrid Goes West,” for which he received the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature; Antonio Campos’ “The Devil All the Time;” the Shirley Jackson adaptation “We Have Always Lived in the Castle;” Apple TV+’s “Palmer;” Sundance favorite “The Skeleton Twins;” Rob Reiner’s “And So It Goes;” and Sundance Audience Award winner “The Wackness,” among others. 

Goldman began his career at Miramax Films before joining GreeneStreet Films, where he worked on acclaimed projects including the Academy Award nominated “In the Bedroom” and Robert Altman’s “A Prairie Home Companion.”
