Well, as a seasoned gamer who’s seen more than his fair share of political thrillers and cyber-attack dramas, let me tell you, the anticipation for Netflix’s upcoming series “Zero Day” is through the roof! With Robert De Niro leading the cast as a former U.S. President, and an all-star lineup that includes Angela Bassett, Jesse Plemons, Lizzy Caplan, Connie Britton, Joan Allen, Matthew Modine, Dan Stevens, and many more, this series is sure to be a must-watch for any fan of the genre.
Remarkably, even with his extensive and illustrious acting career, Robert De Niro hasn’t yet ventured into television – that is, until now. The Academy Award winner will be making his debut as a series regular in Netflix’s upcoming political thriller limited series titled “Zero Day”. This series has officially set a release date.
On Thursday, February 20th, 2025, Netflix will debut the highly anticipated series “Zero Day,” with Robert De Niro portraying a former U.S. president investigating a lethal cyber attack on the nation while confronting secrets from his past hidden within his own closet. This series is expected to be one of Netflix’s top original productions for the year.
Check out the limited series’ official synopsis via Netflix’s press release:
ZERO DAY is a limited series starring Robert 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.
Recently, Netflix has been achieving tremendous success with political and conspiracy thriller series such as “The Night Agent” and “The Diplomat”. If you’re a fan of Keri Russell’s intense political dramas, you won’t want to miss the opportunity to binge-watch “Zero Day”. Here, we provide additional details about the show, including its number of episodes, cast, and other relevant information!

Zero Day begins streaming in February 2025
Starting February 20, 2025, I can’t wait to dive into the global premiere of “Zero Day” on Netflix! This thrilling limited series is set to be one of the standout new year’s releases. Following close behind, “The Night Agent” season 2 drops on January 23, and just a week later, we bid farewell to the series finale of “Cobra Kai” on February 13. For those curious, you’ll find “Zero Day” streaming during the President’s Day week!
Due to being a limited series and featuring a star-studded cast, the number of episodes in “Zero Day” is smaller than usual for streaming series seasons. This means you can comfortably binge-watch it over the weekend as it consists of only six episodes. Each episode will last approximately an hour, similar to the second season of “The Diplomat.

Angela Bassett takes on the role of the U.S. President, while Joan Allen and Lizzy Caplan portray De Niro’s wife and daughter, respectively.
