Miles Teller is tapped to lead an upcoming miniseries…after Armie Hammer exited the project

Miles Teller has been confirmed to be leading the upcoming miniseries, The Order.

The Whiplash star, 34, was tapped to lead the show, which is centered around the production of the highly influential 1972 crime epic, The Godfather, which Francis Ford Coppola directed.

According to Variety, the performer will take over the leading role from Armie Hammer, who left the project earlier this year due to a controversy that erupted over allegations of sexual misconduct.

In addition to starring in the show, the Divergent series actor will also serve as an executive producer on the 10-episode project.  

No information regarding other cast members has been revealed as of yet.

Nikki Toscano and Michael Toklin will both lead the forthcoming series, with the former taking on the showrunner’s position.

Rocketman director Dexter Fletcher is set to helm several episodes of the forthcoming series.

Armie Hammer, who was originally supposed to portray Ruddy, exited the project earlier this year due to creating a controversy centered around allegations of sexual misconduct.

In January, Variety reported that the disgraced actor, 34, had suddenly left the cast of the show, and he did not provide any comments about his actions.

Weeks before exiting The Order, the performer also removed himself from the cast of the upcoming romantic comedy Shotgun Wedding, which stars Jennifer Lopez.

At the time, Hammer released a statement citing the welfare of his children as the reason for his exit from the film.

The controversy around the actor’s past originally began in January, when multiple women made public statements about their alleged treatment at the hands of the performer.

An Instagram account was set up to publish screenshots of text messages that he had sent several people, many of which described sexual fantasies that included violence and cannibalism.

Although Hammer and his legal team made several statements denying the allegations, he was subsequently dropped by both his publicist and talent agency WME.

The Call Me By Your Name actor later removed himself from the casts of the Starz series Gaslit and the Broadway play The Minutes, and he was dropped from the upcoming thriller film The Billion Dollar Spy.

In March, it was made known that Hammer was the subject of an ongoing investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department concerning an allegation of sexual assault.
