‘Zero Day’: Plot Details

Variety reported that Netflix has finally given Robert De Niro-led series the green light after being in development since November 2022. “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?” reads the first synopsis of ‘Zero Day.’

“‘Zero Day’ is a shrewd, heart-pounding conspiracy thriller that will keep audiences at the edge of their seat. What an honor to have this A-list caliber of talent assembled, led by the iconic Robert De Niro and brought to life by the unrivaled talents of Eric Newman, Noah Oppenheim, Lesli Linka Glatter and Michael S. Schmidt,” said Peter Friedlander, vice president of scripted series for Netflix in the US and the Canadian marketplace.
