Netflix has dropped the first trailer for Zero Day, the upcoming limited series starring Robert De Niro as a former U.S. president who is yanked out of retirement to investigate a nationwide cyberattack.
“Three thousand, four-hundred, two people died on Zero Day, says De Niro’s former President George Mullen at the beginning of the trailer. “Plane crashes, train derailments. Total chaos.”
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.
Angela Bassett, Lizzy Caplan, Jesse Plemons, Joan Allen, Connie Britton, Matthew Modine, Dan Stevens, Bill Camp, Gaby Hoffmann, and Clark Gregg also star.

At one point in the trailer, Bassett’s character tells De Niro’s Mullen, “People believe what they need to believe. The truth is the truth, but it’s not always the most important thing.”
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.
Zero Day premieres February 20 on Netflix.
