“The Offer” will premiere on Thursday, April 28, exclusively for Paramount+ subscribers in the U.S. The first three episodes of the 10-episode-long series will be available to stream at launch. Following the premiere, the remaining seven episodes will be available to stream weekly on Thursdays.

From Paramount Television Studios, the 10-episode event series is written and executive produced by Nikki Toscano (“Hunters”), who serves as showrunner, and created and written by Oscar(R) and Emmy-nominated writer Michael Tolkin (“Escape at Dannemora,” “The Player”). In addition to Tolkin and Toscano, two-time Oscar(R)-winner Albert S. Ruddy (“Million Dollar Baby,” “The Longest Yard,” “Hogan’s Heroes”), Miles Teller, Russell Rothberg and Leslie Greif, who also developed the series, serve as executive producers alongside Dexter Fletcher (“Rocketman”), who also directed the first block of the series.
No one is safe when ”The Bad Seed Returns” premieres this Memorial Day, Monday, May 30 at 8p/7c on Lifetime. The sequel to 2018’s ”The Bad Seed” with Rob Lowe, Mckenna Grace (”Ghostbusters: Afterlife”,”The Handmaids Tale”) returns to headline the continuation as Emma who, after the death of her father, is now living a nice normal life with her aunt, but her dark sinister behaviors can only be hidden for so long. Grace developed the story and co-wrote the script with her father Ross Burge. A true family affair, Grace executive produced the film alongside her parents, Ross and Crystal Burge. Mark Wolper also returns to executive produce alongside Barbara Marshall, who also wrote on the project.
After the murderous events that left her father (Rob Lowe) dead, 15-year-old Emma, a seemingly typical teenaged girl, is now living with aunt Angela (Michelle Morgan) and navigating high school. But the darkness can only be hidden for so long, especially when Angela’s husband Robert (Benjamin Ayers) begins to suspect Emma may not be as innocent as she appears, and a new girl at school, Kat (Ella Dixon), seems to know Emma’s secrets from the past. Left with no choice, Emma slips back to her old ways to take care of her enemies by any means necessary.
Patty McCormack, who earned an Academy Award and Golden Globe nomination from the 1956 version of ”The Bad Seed” reprises her role as Emma’s therapist Dr. March.
Louise Archambault (”Catastrophe”, ”This Life”) directed from a script written by McKenna Grace, Ross Burge and Barbara Marshall.
