The 10-episode limited series will be penned and executive produced by Tolkin alongside Ruddy, Nikki Toscano (Hunters, Bates Motel) and Leslie Greif (Walker Texas Ranger, Hatfields & McCoys) and produced by Paramount TV Studios. The Offer marks the latest upcoming project Hammer has signed on to after October saw the Golden Globe nominee join both the espionage thriller The Billion Dollar Spy, in which he will star alongside Mads Mikkelsen (Fantastic Beasts 3), and Lionsgate’s romantic action comedy Shotgun Wedding, in which he will star alongside Jennifer Lopez (Hustlers, Marry Me).
Hammer will star in the series as the 90-year-old producer, whose other credits include The Longest Yard, which he also developed the story for, The Cannonball Run and Million Dollar Baby.
As CBS All Access prepares to transition into its new title Paramount+, the streaming platform is building up its roster of original programming as it has cast Armie Hammer (Death on the Nile) to lead the in-development limited series The Offer, according to Deadline.
