Can you believe this will be Robert De Niro’s first TV series? Yeah, we can’t either—but we know his legendary star power will make Zero Day a must-watch. Netflix’s upcoming conspiracy thriller sees De Niro starring alongside Angela Bassett, Jesse Plemons, Lizzy Caplan, Joan Allen, Connie Britton, Dan Stevens, Matthew Modine, and more.

From Netflix: “ZERO DAY is a limited series starring Robert De Niro as respected former U.S. President George Mullen, who, as head of the Zero Day Commission, is charged with finding the perpetrators of a devastating cyber attack that has caused chaos around the country and thousands of fatalities. As disinformation runs rampant and the personal ambition of power brokers in technology, Wall Street, and government collide, Mullen’s unwavering search for the truth forces him to confront his own dark secrets while risking all he holds dear.”

De Niro told TUDUM that Mullen’s ethos is to tell it straight. “That’s the spine of my character in the show… Don’t dodge anything. Don’t play games. Be honest about what’s going on so that the public knows what’s going on.” Get into the thrilling teaser below—all six hour-long episodes of Zero Day hit Netflix on February 20, 2025.
