The legendary Robert De Niro is set to make his television debut in the highly anticipated political thriller Zero Day, premiering on Netflix on February 20, 2024. This marks a major milestone for the Oscar-winning actor, who steps into the role of George Mullen, a former U.S. President tasked with safeguarding the nation from a devastating cyber-attack.
Set in a fictional yet eerily familiar political landscape, Zero Day explores a high-stakes, 9/11-like crisis that pulls a divided nation to the brink. Mullen is called back into action as part of a special commission to counter the attack. Angela Bassett joins De Niro in a pivotal role as the current president, Mitchell, adding to the intrigue of a world where political trust is at an all-time low.
To ensure authenticity, the series enlisted Michael S. Schmidt, a New York Times investigative reporter, as executive producer. With his expertise, Zero Day aims to depict a believable and gripping portrayal of modern political turmoil and cyber threats.
Fans are eagerly awaiting De Niro’s TV debut, and with a powerhouse cast and a thrilling premise, Zero Day is poised to make a major impact when it hits Netflix on February 20.
