Details regarding the content of the political thriller series are not yet known. However, “Variety” claims to have learned that De Niro is supposed to play a former US President. The actor is also on board as an executive producer, it said.
The two-time Oscar winner (“Raging Bull”, “The Godfather II”) has only appeared in a few TV productions, including 2017 in the TV movie “The Wizard of Lies” in the role of billionaire fraudster Bernie Madoff. His appearance in Zero Day would be De Niro’s first series role, according to Variety.
