Paramount Plus Unveils Official Trailer for ‘The Godfather’ Origins Series ‘The Offer’ (TV News Roundup)

Paramount Plus has released the official trailer for “The Offer,” the upcoming drama miniseries that chronicles the making of “The Godfather.”

Set in the early 1970s, “The Offer” stars Miles Teller as Albert S. Ruddy, who is hired as the producer for the film adaptation of the best-selling novel “The Godfather,” written by Mario Puzo (played by Patrick Gallo). While the series faces typical behind the scenes tension between its director Francis Ford Coppola (Dan Fogler) and producing team, the filming grows more complicated when mob boss Joe Colombo (Giovanni Ribisi) signs on to help assist in the production. In addition to Teller, Gallo, Fogler and Ribisi, the series will also star Matthew Goode, Juno Temple, Burn Gorman and Colin Hanks.

The trailer shows Teller as Ruddy as he assembles the creative team for the film and battles with producers, only for the involvement of the mob to cause the making of the film to begin imitating the tone of the film itself. Also making a cameo in the trailer.

“I won’t judge you if you need to walk away from this,” Teller says to Temple during an emotional moment during the trailer. “I’m not running away either,” she replies.

“The Offer” is written by Michael Tolkin, who is best known for the Hollywood satire film “The Player.” Several episodes will be directed by “Rocketman” filmmaker Dexter Fletcher. The two executive produce alongside the real-life Ruddy, as well as Leslie Greif, Dalia Ibelhauptaite and Nikki Toscano. The miniseries is produced by Paramount Television Studios.

The first three episodes of “The Offer” will stream April 28. The rest of the ten-episode miniseries will stream weekly. Watch the full trailer below.
