Zero Day, the highly anticipated political thriller set to premiere on Netflix on February 20, 2025, is generating buzz for its fresh take on political drama. Created by Eric Newman and Noah Oppenheim, the limited series marks Robert De Niro’s first starring role in a television series.
The plot centers on George Mullen, a former U.S. President who now leads the Zero Day Commission in response to a catastrophic cyberattack. This attack has thrown the nation into chaos, causing massive fatalities and disrupting everyday life. Mullen and his team are tasked with identifying the culprits and restoring order amidst the crisis. With only six episodes, Zero Day promises to be a tightly packed, high-stakes thriller.
De Niro’s portrayal of George Mullen is a key draw, alongside a talented supporting cast including Lizzy Caplan, Jesse Plemons, Joan Allen, Connie Britton, and Angela Bassett. Directed by Lesli Linka Glatter, the series blends compelling storytelling with stellar performances, making it one of the most anticipated Netflix releases in 2024.
For viewers excited to watch Zero Day, the series will be available exclusively to Netflix subscribers. Netflix offers various subscription plans, but there is no free trial, so an active subscription is required to access the show.
