Robert De Niro to Star In and Executive Produce First TV Series ‘Zero Day’ at Netflix
Robert De Niro will star in and executive produce his first TV series with Netflix’s “Zero Day,” the streamer announced Wednesday.The six-episode limited drama series, which functions as a conspiracy thriller, is created by Eric Newman and Noah Oppenheim, who will both serve as executive producers, with Newman executive producing under his Grand Electric Productions deal with Netflix.The official logline is as follows: “‘Zero Day’ 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? 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?”Michael S. Schmidt will also serve as a creator and executive producer alongside executive producer Jonathan Glickman.
