Evan Goldberg

Evan Goldberg (born May 11, 1982) is a Canadian screenwriter, film producer, and director best known for his long-standing creative partnership with comedian Seth Rogen. Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Goldberg began collaborating with Rogen as teenagers, co-writing the script for Superbad (2007), a coming-of-age comedy that grossed over $170 million worldwide and established their reputation for irreverent humor. Their joint efforts extended to co-directing This Is the End (2013), a self-referential apocalyptic comedy, and The Interview (2014), a political satire that provoked cyberattacks on Sony Pictures and threats from North Korea due to its depiction of a plot to assassinate Kim Jong-un, ultimately leading to a limited release and heightened online distribution. Goldberg has also served as an executive producer on the acclaimed Amazon Prime Video series The Boys (2019–present), noted for its dark satire of superhero tropes, and co-founded the production company Point Grey Pictures to develop further projects. In recent years, he and Rogen expanded into television with The Studio (2025), a series critiquing the Hollywood system.
