From creators and executive producers Eric Newman (Narcos), Noah Oppenheim (Jackie) and Michael S. Schmidt, Zero Day stars De Niro as respected former U.S. President George Mullen, who, as head of the Zero Day Commission, is charged with finding the perpetrators of a devastating cyber attack that has caused chaos around the country and thousands of fatalities.
As disinformation runs rampant and the personal ambition of power brokers in technology, Wall Street, and government collide, Mullen’s unwavering search for the truth forces him to confront his own dark secrets while risking all he holds dear.
Zero Day is written and executive produced by Newman and Oppenheim, with Lesli Linka Glatter as executive producer and director of all six episodes. Schmidt also serves as writer and executive producer, with De Niro and Jonathan Glickman as executive producers.
