The series has an instant hit ever since its release, depicting how The Godfather came to be. The series is ongoing and is going to conclude soon.
When and where The Offer Episode 8 will come out?
The Offer Episode 8 will release on Thursday, June 2, 2022, on Paramount+. The series will have a total of ten episodes, with the final episode released on June 16, 2022. The upcoming eighth episode is written by Russell Rothberg.
What is The Offer about?
The Offer is about the untold story of Albert S. Ruddy, about how he made The Godfather into a film. After Mario Puzo’s The Godfather becomes a bestseller, the struggling writer can find some light in the darkness. The Italian-American community was specifically offended by this novel and was even more agitated after the book is set to be adapted into a film. Ruddy convinced the production head of Paramount Pictures to take him as a producer and enlisted Puzo to adapt and Francis Ford Coppola as the director. Starting from the tension with the Warner Bros. to give away the rights to The Godfather to several people sabotaging the production at every step, the series about the making of the film is no less spine-chilling than the actual film.
Who are there in The Offer?
The main cast of The Offer includes Miles Teller as the producer Albert S. Ruddy; Matthew Goode as Robert Evans, the head of the production at Paramount Pictures; Dan Fogler as Francis Ford Coppola, the director of The Godfather; Burn Gorman as Charles Bluhdorn, the industrialist; Colin Hanks as Barry Lapidus, the studio executive; Giovanni Ribisi as Joe Colombo, one of the heads of the Five Families; and Juno Temple as Bettye McCartt, Ruddy’s secretary.
