ViacomCBS' forthcoming streaming service Paramount+ has made Armie Hammer an offer he couldn't refuse, as the actor has signed on to star in The Offer, a limited series about the making of 1974 classic The Godfather.

Hammer will play the film's Oscar-winning producer Al Ruddy in the 10-episode event series, which hails from writer Michael Tolkin, who recently earned an Emmy nomination for Showtime's acclaimed limited series Escape from Dannemora starring Benicio Del Toro, Paul Dano and Patricia Arquette.

Tolkin previously chronicled Hollywood power moves in The Player, for which he received an Oscar nomination. He's a good fit for this particular project, which will be based on Ruddy's extraordinary experience making The Godfather with director Francis Ford Coppola.

Tolkin and Ruddy will both serve as executive producers alongside Nikki Toscano (Hunters) and Emmy winner Leslie Greif (Hatfields & McCoys). Production is expected to start next year, when CBS All Access will be rebranded as Paramount+ and introduced to major markets such as Australia and Latin America.
