This 10-part miniseries, one of the first big shows that was announced when Paramount Plus was revealed, charts a story about The Godfather films (did you know you'll be able to watch The Godfather movies online on Paramount Plus?) that's never been told on screen before.
That's the story of producer Albert S. Ruddy (played here by Miles Teller), who found the process of making The Godfather more than a little complicated. And his lie that he'd actually read the book is barely the tip of Ruddy's troubles.
From bringing in an amazing cast for the project to finding the right director for the job (Dan Fogler's version of Francis Ford Coppola looks amazing), Ruddy's quest to make one of the most beloved and acclaimed movies of all time had a lot of ups.
Unfortunately, mafia don Joe Colombo (played by Giovanni Ribisi) was a wrench in the plans. Voicing concerns about The Godfather painting a bad stereotypical image of Italian Americans, Colombo intimidates Ribisi into finding a solution.
Here's what you need to watch The Offer online.

The Offer trailer
In The Offer's trailer, we see that news on the Paramount Pictures lot is not good. Albert S. Ruddy (Miles Teller) is told that the studio is in jeopardy. And then he lies himself into a situation where he's going to wind up in charge of The Godfather. Unfortunately, the process of making The Godfather was just as lethal as any random scene in the film.
The Offer cast
Miles Teller (Whiplash) stars as Albert S. Ruddy, who claims he's read The Godfather in order to become one of its producers. Juno Temple (Ted Lasso) co-stars as Bettye McCartt, his assistant. But our favorite bit of casting is Giovanni Ribisi as mob boss. Joe Colombo.
The rest of the cast is as follows:
- Matthew Goode as Robert Evans
- Dan Fogler as Francis Ford Coppola
- Burn Gorman as Charles Bluhdorn
- Colin Hanks as Barry Lapidus
- Patrick Gallo as Mario Puzo
