The making of the classic will be told through the eyes of two-time Academy Award producer Albert S. Rudy, played by Miles Teller. The real Rudy executive produces the series.

"The Offer" is created and written by Michael Tolkin. Nikki Toscano co-writes and showruns. The first three episodes of the series are directed by two-time BAFTA nominee Dexter Fletcher.

The series also stars Matthew Goode, Giovanni Ribisi, Colin Hanks, Juno Temple, Patrick Gallo, and Michael Gandolfini.
