Paramount+, the streaming service from ViacomCBS, today announced that principal photography has begun in Los Angeles on the upcoming scripted limited event series, THE OFFER.

From Paramount Television Studios, THE OFFER is based on Oscar(R)-winning producer Albert S. Ruddy's extraordinary, never-revealed experiences of making "The Godfather." The series stars Miles Teller as Albert S. Ruddy, Matthew Goode as Robert Evans, Dan Fogler as Francis Ford Coppola, Burn Gorman as Charles Bluhdorn, Colin Hanks as Barry Lapidus, Giovanni Ribisi as Joe Colombo and Juno Temple as Bettye McCartt.

The 10-episode event series is written and executive produced by Nikki Toscano ("Hunters"), who also serves as showrunner, and by creator and Oscar(R) and Emmy-nominated writer Michael Tolkin ("Escape at Dannemora," "The Player"). In addition to Toscano and Tolkin, two-time Oscar(R)-winner Albert S. Ruddy ("Million Dollar Baby," "The Longest Yard," "Hogan's Heroes"), Miles Teller and Emmy Award winner Leslie Greif ("Hatfields & McCoys") also serve as executive producers on the series alongside Dexter Fletcher ("Rocketman"), who also directs the first block of the series.
