The synopsis reads: "As disinformation runs rampant and the personal ambitions of tech power brokers, Wall Street, and government collide, Mullen's single-minded pursuit of the truth forces him to confront his own dark secrets, risking everything that throws him is dear."
The six-episode series was created by writers Eric Newman, Noah Oppenheim and New York Times writer Michael S. Schmidt. Lesli Linka Glatter directs all episodes. De Niro is executive producer.
“Zero Day is about the aftermath of a devastating cyberattack that kills thousands of people and threatens to push a nation already on the precipice over the edge,” Newman said when previewing the series to Netflix’s Tudum. Oppenheim added that “the show also looks at the cost of power for those who are asked to take on these enormous challenges — what it means for them personally, and what it means for their families.”
The impressive cast also includes Lizzy Caplan, Jesse Plemons, Joan Allen, Connie Britton, Bill Camp, Dan Stevens, Angela Bassett, Matthew Modine and McKinley Belcher III, with guest stars Clark Gregg and Gaby Hoffmann, Mark Ivanir and Mozhan Navabi.
Zero Day will be released on Netflix on Thursday, February 20, 2025 and will contain all six episodes.
