Netflix has officially released the first teaser for its highly anticipated limited series Zero Day, starring the legendary Robert De Niro. In this political thriller, De Niro takes on the role of George Mullen, a former U.S. president pulled from retirement to lead an investigation into a catastrophic nationwide cyberattack.

The teaser sets an intense and suspenseful tone, capturing the gravity of Mullen’s mission. As the trailer opens, Mullen’s voice underscores the devastating consequences of the attack: “Three thousand, four hundred, two people died on Zero Day. Plane crashes, train derailments. Total chaos.” These chilling words emphasize the scale of the disaster that has thrown the nation into turmoil.

Mullen is appointed as the head of the Zero Day Commission, tasked with uncovering the perpetrators behind the cyberattack that left the country in disarray and claimed thousands of lives. However, his pursuit of the truth is fraught with challenges, as misinformation spreads and conflicting interests among Wall Street executives, tech leaders, and government officials come into play.

The series promises a stellar ensemble cast, including Angela Bassett, Lizzy Caplan, Jesse Plemons, Joan Allen, Connie Britton, Matthew Modine, Dan Stevens, Bill Camp, Gaby Hoffmann, and Clark Gregg. The teaser offers a glimpse of Bassett and Plemons in action, with Bassett’s character delivering a thought-provoking line to Mullen: “People believe what they need to believe. The truth is the truth, but it’s not always the most important thing.”

With its intricate storyline, powerhouse cast, and the magnetic presence of De Niro in the lead role, Zero Day is poised to be a standout drama for Netflix in early 2024. Fans won’t have to wait long to dive into this gripping series, as it is set to premiere on February 20.

Prepare for a thought-provoking exploration of truth, power, and ambition when Zero Day lands on screens early next year.
