Jeremy Gold is stepping down as president of production at Blumhouse Television after eight years with the company.

He is giving up his executive duties and has struck a production deal with the studio for his newly launched Gold Company,

Gold will continue as executive producer for three upcoming shows the firm is making for Amazon, including The Bondsman, which stars Kevin Bacon; The Sticky, starring Margo Martindale; and Scarpetta, which is based on Patricia Cornwell’s book series and stars Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis.

He will also oversee and produce several shows in development at Blumhouse TV, with the company taking a first-look at the projects.

Blumhouse TV, which is behind shows including Disney+ docuseries Choir, Netflix’s Worst Roommate Ever and The Purge for USA Network, downsized its operation last year, including the exit of TV president Chris McCumber and several other staff.

Gold joined Blumhouse in 2016 to jointly lead the TV division as co-president alongside Marci Wiseman. He took on the role solo following Wiseman’s departure in 2020, until Chris McCumber joined as president later that year, with Gold then named president of production.

In October 2023, Gold took on the leadership role once again, this time on an interim basis, when McCumber stepped down. A new permanent replacement for McCumber is still being sought.

Prior to Blumhouse, Gold served as EVP of creative affairs for Endemol Studios, where he worked on shows including AMC’s Hell On Wheels and Kingdom for DirecTV. Before that, he was SVP of comedy at Fox, where he developed series like American Dad, The Bernie Mac Show and Arrested Development.

Deadline first reported Gold’s exit.
