Following the three-episode premiere on April 28, new episodes of The Offer will debut weekly over the subsequent seven Thursdays. This means the finale will launch on Paramount Plus on June 16.

In addition to The Offer premiering on April 28, The Godfather trilogy will also be made available to stream on Paramount Plus on that date. So you can watch The Godfather, The Godfather Part II and The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone and then see how the original movie was made with The Offer.

The Offer trailer
The official trailer for The Offer is here, and gives an abridged version of the chaos behind making what is considered one of the greatest movies ever. From Albert Ruddy signing on to produce despite not having read the book, to threats from powerful gangsters and all the other chaos that popped up. Check it out for yourself below:

The Offer plot

There have been a lot of stories about the making of The Godfather shared over the years, whether it was in books like producer Robert Evans’ The Kid Stays in the Picture or Vanity Fair writer Mark Seal’s Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli. The Offer, however, is based on producer Albert S. Ruddy’s "never-before-seen experiences" on making The Godfather. That’s actually all the info on the story of The Offer that has been provided so far, but as you’ll see in the trailer below, there’s a lot going on as the pieces are being put together to make The Godfather.

The Offer cast
The cast of The Godfather is one of its most incredible features, but the cast for The Offer is a pretty solid collection of actors as well.

Leading the way on The Offer is Miles Teller as Albert S. Ruddy. His casting was announced in May 2021, coming in to replace Armie Hammer following the sexual assault allegations against The Social Network actor. Teller is best known for his roles in The Spectacular Now, Whiplash and The Divergent series; he’s also part of the cast of the highly-anticipated sequel Top Gun: Maverick.

Also starring in the limited series are Matthew Goode (A Discovery of Witches, The Imitation Game) as producer Robert Evans, Juno Temple (Ted Lasso) as Hollywood agent Betty McCartt, Giovanni Ribisi (Sneaky Pete, Avatar) as notorious mobster Joe Colombo, Dan Fogler (Fantastic Beasts series) as director Francis Ford Coppola, Burn Gorman (The Expanse, Enola Holmes) as Gulf + Western owner Charles Bluhdorn, Colin Hanks (American Crime Story, Jumanji: The Next Level) as Gulf + Western executive Barry Lapidus and Patrick Gallo (The Irishman, When They See Us) as The Godfather author Mario Puzo.
