Lesley Manville to Star Opposite Brett Goldstein in Prime Video's 'Escorted'

Fresh off a major achievement at this year's Tony Awards, Lesley Manville is heading to Prime Video for a new comedy venture. The 70-year-old British actress will appear alongside Brett Goldstein in the streamer's upcoming series "Escorted," with the news breaking on Tuesday, June 9.

The show centers on a Manhattan-based divorced father who stumbles into work as a male escort, exploring themes of second chances, the complexities of shared parenting, and whether genuine intimacy can be transactional in nature.

Goldstein, 45, is taking on multiple roles beyond his starring turn. He'll write, executive produce, and serve as co-showrunner on the project. Brian Gallivan, a collaborator from Goldstein's Apple TV series "Shrinking," will join as executive producer and fellow co-showrunner.

Manville's character, Terri, is Goldstein's on-screen mother—described as "a charisma bomb cabaret legend" and "a force of nature with the voice to match," according to the character description.

The casting announcement arrives on the heels of Manville's Tony Award triumph. She took home Best Actress in a Play for her performance in "Oedipus," where she appeared opposite Mark Strong.
