Cyber Chaos: De Niro's TV Debut as Ex-President

The United States in crisis. A massive cyber attack, known as a Zero Day event, has left the country in turmoil. Thousands have died, and disinformation is spreading like wildfire. Who do you call? Robert De Niro, of course! In Netflix's upcoming series, 'Zero Day', the legendary actor is making his TV debut as a former president, George Mullen. Mullen, who once led the nation, is now tasked with finding the culprits behind this devastating attack. He's not alone; Angela Bassett plays the current president, and a stellar cast joins them. But the real question is, can Mullen confront his own secrets while trying to save the country? The series, co-created by Eric Newman, Noah Oppenheim, and Michael S. Schmidt, and directed by Lesli Linka Glatter, promises a deep dive into the cost of power. It's not just about the attack; it's about the people behind the scenes, their personal struggles, and the impact on their families. 'Zero Day' is set to hit Netflix on Feb. 20, 2025, with all six episodes dropping at once.
