“3,402 people died on Zero Day,” Robert De Niro’s voiceover tells us at the start of the teaser Zero daya new limited series coming to Netflix. It’s a number large and similar enough to evoke thoughts of 9/11, as well as the images of chaos in New York City and Washington DC mixed in with De Niro’s speech. But what comes next is a nod to the biggest terrorist attack in America: Robert De Niro is about to reinvent the PATRIOT Act, folks.

Based on its teaser, Zero day It’s apparently about a cyber attack on the United States – bad enough to cause plane crashes and train derailments – and the lengths the government will go to give people the illusion of security. Series co-creator Noah Oppenheim narrated Netflixs Tudum“The show also looks at the cost of power for those who face these enormous challenges – what it means for them personally and what it means for their families.” Eric Newman, whose resume includes: Griselda And Narcoscreated the show together with Oppenheim.

The biggest draw here is, of course, De Niro, who Netflix says is his first time committing to a series.

But the show’s creators emphasize the contribution he made to the show, with Newman calling him a “partner” in the process. The rest of the cast is also pretty good: Angela Bassett, Connie Britton, Lizzy Caplan, Jesse Plemmons and Matthew Modine round out the ensemble.
