The political thriller will consist of 6 episodes all directed by Homeland’s Lesli Linka Glatter.
De Niro will star alongside Lizzy Caplan, Jesse Plemons, Joan Allen, Connie Britton, and Edi Gathegi.
PLOT
The political thriller will revolve around a former president, George Mullen (De Niro), a popular but complicated figure who’s pulled out of retirement to lead a commission that’s investigating a massive global cyber-attack.
Caplan will play Alexandra Mullen, George’s daughter and a congresswoman looking to distance herself from her father’s political legacy.
Allen will play Sheila Mullen, the former first lady and nominee to a federal judgeship whose professional ambitions have taken a back seat to her husband’s political career.
Plemons plays Roger Carlson, George’s former body man who’s seeking a return to the national stage.
Britton plays Valerie Whitesell, George’s former chief of staff and a savvy political operative.
Zero Day is produced by Robert De Niro, Jonathan Glickman, Michael S. Schmidt, Eric Newman, and Noah Oppenheim. Newman and Oppenheim serve as writers for the show.
The limited series is in active development.
