Paramount+ has released the trailer for The offera limited series exploring the chaotic production of one of the greatest films in history: Francis Ford Coppolait is The Godfather. The ten-episode limited series will be told through the producer’s eyes twice at the Oscars Albert S.Ruddyplayed by Miles Tellerwith real director Ruddy producing the series.

The trailer teases the story behind The Godfather, as Paramount cast Ruddy to lead a project the studio wasn’t sure he could pull off. Based on the novel of the same name by Mario Puzo (played in the series by Patrick Gallo), The Godfather was conceived as a low-budget project, and Francis Coppola (Dan Foger) only got involved after other filmmakers refused to direct him. While The Godfather is known for launching the prolific careers of Hollywood legends such as Robert De Niro and Al Pacino (played in the series by Antoine Ippolito), The offer will focus on lesser-known facts from the film’s production. As the trailer tells us, the series will reveal how Ruddy dealt with a reluctant director and a screenwriter desperate for cash early in production, and how the producer negotiated with the studio to increase the budget and shoot. The Godfather in the classic that it is.
