Robert De Niro is back in business in a new look at Zero Day. Netflix has released a short video to promote the upcoming political thriller that will place the acclaimed actor in the middle of a dangerous conspiracy. De Niro has dealt with gangsters in other stories, but nothing has prepared De Niro‘s character, U.S. President George Mullen, for the devastating cyberattack that will take place under his watch. Zero Day was created for the streaming platform by Eric Newman, Noah Oppenheim and Michael Schmidt. The show is currently scheduled to premiere on Netflix on February 20, with every episode available for streaming right out of the gate.

The new look at Zero Day starts out with George Mullen being established as a relevant figure in his field. After showing some of his accomplishments on the screen, the preview depicts the protagonist of this story struggling to get out of his office with crucial documents. Audiences will learn more about the mystery at the center of Zero Day once the series premieres on Netflix in about a month. Leslie Linka Glatter directed every episode of the political thriller. The filmmaker recently worked on Love & Death and The Morning Show.

The cast of Zero Day will also include Lizzy Caplan as Alexandra Mullen, Jesse Plemons as Roger Carlson, and Joan Allen as Sheila Mullen.

He’s now set for a return to the gangster genre with Alto Knights, where he’ll be playing two different characters.
