Robert De Niro Will Star and Produce in Limited Series ‘Zero Day’ - Netflix Tudum

Robert De Niro is trading in mob hits for global intrigue in Zero Day, the actor's first TV series created by Eric Newman and Noah Oppenheim, who will also executive produce along with Michael S. Schmidt and Jonathan Glickman.
The Irishman star will produce and star in the limited series, a conspiracy thriller, which “asks the question on everyone’s mind –– how do we find truth in a world in crisis, one seemingly being torn apart by forces outside our control?” according to the logline. “And in an era rife with conspiracy theory and subterfuge, how much of those forces are products of our own doing, perhaps even of our own imagining?”
Homeland’s Lesli Linka Glatter will direct all six episodes of the series.
“As a life-long fan of American cinema, no actor looms larger for me than Robert De Niro,” Newman told Netflix. “To have him as a producing partner and star in this show is beyond our wildest dreams. I’m grateful to Netflix for their continued faith and support and thrilled to be in business with the amazing creative team of Noah, Lesli and Jonathan on this timely (and terrifying) series.”
Oppenheim, who described Zero Day as a “ripped from reality thriller,” pointed to co-creator and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Schmidt and “the stories that kept him up at night” for early inspiration for the series.
Zero Day will stream on Netflix soon. In the meantime, trust no one.
