Netflix has released a teaser for its limited series Zero Day, starring Robert De Niro in his first regular series role.
The thriller features De Niro as George Mullen, a former president who, in the wake of a devastating cyber attack, is appointed by the current president (Angela Bassett) to lead a commission tasked with finding who’s behind the attack. She tells Mullen that Congress will give the commission powers of “surveillance [and] search and seizure.”
“So they’re just gonna grab people off the streets without warrants,” he replies. “Actually, you are,” she replies. Later, the president says, “People believe what they need to believe. The truth is the truth, but it’s not always the most important thing” — hinting at the conspiracy-thriller elements of the show.
