After The Irishman by Scorsese, Robert De Niro reunites with Netflix for a high voltage series. The legendary actor invites himself to Noah Oppenheim (Jackie), Michael Schmidt and Eric Newman (Griselda) in 2025. The three creators of Zero Day intend to immortalize the consequences of a major cyberattack. The trailer, shared this Monday, December 23, offers a glimpse of what awaits fans of tense thrillers and political dramas.
Sometime after what is known as Zero Day — a cyberattack that killed 3,402 people in a plane crash, train derailment and utter chaos — former president George Mullen is called upon to return to service. Appreciated by citizens, he is invited to investigate the organizers of this deadly operation. As misinformation spreads and the personal ambitions of Wall Street giants and tech companies come into conflict, his investigation becomes more and more difficult to carry out. George Mullen will have to use unrecommended means to achieve his goal, while using the trust placed in him by voters. “Does the greatest threat come from a foreign power…or from within?”
A distribution with little onions
In addition to the presence of Robert De Niro, the new Netflix production can boast of having summoned legends of the small and big screen. Angela Bassett is invited to sit in the Oval Office to play the President of the United States, while Lizzy Caplan was offered the role of George Mullen’s daughter. Jesse Plemonswhich has been on the rise since its brief appearance in Civil Warwill also be on the trip. Moreover, we will have to count on Connie Britton, Joan Allen and Matthew Modine. Lesli Linka Glatter is directing the first episodes of the series which already aims to become a reference in the Netflix catalog.

It must be said that political thrillers of the genre have enjoyed the heyday of the streaming service. It was also through an exploration of the corridors of power that American society became known to the general public. It remains to be seen if Zero Day will manage to shine in the same way as House of Cards. The appointment is made for next February 20 sur Netflix. Six episodes will be offered to Netflix subscribers.
