Production[edit]
The project was announced in September 2020 to air on Paramount+. It is to be told from the perspective of producer Albert S.

Justin Chambers will have a recurring role as Marlon Brando.[10][11] In October, Eric Balfour, Michael Gandolfini and Zack Schor joined the cast, with Balfour playing production designer Dean Tavoularis.[12][13]
Filming for the series began in July 2021 but was paused on July 29 due to a positive COVID-19 test.[14] On August 23, 2021, it was reported that plans to film at the Chateau Marmont between August 25 to 27 were scrapped after learning about an ongoing labor dispute there.[15] The miniseries is scheduled to be released on April 28, 2022, with the first three episodes of the ten-episode miniseries available immediately and the rest debuting on a weekly basis on Thursdays.[16]
