Robert De Niro in his first TV series, coming very soon! After Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, the 81-year-old actor returns to Netflix for the high-voltage fiction from screenwriters Eric Newman (Griselda) and Noah Oppenheim (the biopic Jack) and New York Times journalist Michael Schmidt. .
The platform has already revealed the first images of this highly anticipated series, and this time the American giant offers us the first trailer of what awaits us next year in this mini-series.
De Niro, a man for the job
In Zero Day, Robert De Niro plays George Mullen, a popular former US president who comes out of retirement to lead a commission investigating a devastating global cyber attack.
The former head of state of the United States is tasked with finding those responsible and uncovering the truth, facing the prospect of another attack. But where does the greater threat come from: from a foreign force or from within?
After the attack, the world descends into chaos, conspiracy theories flourish, and investigations give way to muscular methods that may be questioned. And if the highly effective trailer is to be believed, it’s Robert De Niro’s character, who also executive produces the series, who will be the man for the job. But at what cost?
Between paranoia, power and violence, Zero Day promises a thrilling story, breathtaking pace and plenty of twists, but also leaves the door open to pressing questions, as the synopsis suggests:
“How do we discover the truth in a world in crisis that seems ravaged by forces beyond our control? And in an age where make-believe and conspiracy theories flourish, how much of these forces are the result of our actions, or even the fruit of our own imaginations?”
In addition to Robert De Niro, Zero Day counts prestigious actors, including Angela Bassett as the current president of the United States, Jesse Plemons (Civil War), Connie Britton (American Crime Story), Lizzie Kaplan (Masters of Sex). ), Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey), Joan Allen (Nixon), McKinley Belcher III (Ozark) and Matthew Modine (Stranger Things).
Zero Day will be available on Netflix on February 20, 2025.
