Netflix Announces New Limited Series Zero Day

Entertainment

01 March 2023

GlobalUnited States

From Creators / Executive Producers Eric Newman and Noah Oppenheim Directed and Executive Produced by Lesli Linka Glatter Headshots available here.

Netflix announced today the new limited series Zero Day, a conspiracy thriller from Creator / Executive Producer Eric Newman under his Grand Electric Productions deal with Netflix, and Creator / Executive Producer Noah Oppenheim.

Star / Executive Producer: Robert De Niro stars and executive produces in his first TV series.

Logline: Zero Day asks the question on everyone's mind -- how do we find truth in a world in crisis, one seemingly being torn apart by forces outside our control? And in an era rife with conspiracy theory and subterfuge, how much of those forces are products of our own doing, perhaps even of our own imagining?

Format / Episodes: Drama; 6 episode limited series

Creators / Writers / Executive Producers: Eric Newman for Grand Electric (The Watcher, Narcos, Narcos: Mexico) and Noah Oppenheim (Jackie, The Thing About Pam, The Maze Runner)

Creator / Executive Producer: Pulitzer Prize winner Michael S. Schmidt

Executive Producer: Jonathan Glickman (Wednesday, Respect)

Director / Executive Producer: Lesli Linka Glatter (Homeland, Mad Men and Love & Death) will direct all episodes

QUOTES

Eric Newman: I am a lifelong fan of Robert De Niro. To have him as a producing partner and star in this show is beyond my wildest dreams. And Lesli Linka Glatter has directed so many of my favorite episodes of television; she was our clear first choice to direct this show. I am grateful to Netflix for their continued faith and support and thrilled to be in business with the amazing creative team of Noah, Lesli, and Jonathan on this timely (and terrifying) series.

Noah Oppenheim credited Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Michael S. Schmidt and the stories that kept him up at night for early inspiration, adding, To see this ripped-from-reality thriller come to life, starring the legendary Robert De Niro, is more than we could have hoped.

Peter Friedlander, Vice President of Scripted Series, Netflix, US and Canada: Zero Day is a shrewd, heart-pounding conspiracy thriller that will keep audiences at the edge of their seat. What an honor to have this A-list caliber of talent assembled, led by the iconic Robert De Niro and brought to life by the unrivaled talents of Eric Newman, Noah Oppenheim, Lesli Linka Glatter and Michael S. Schmidt.

About Eric Newman Co-creator, writer, and executive producer Eric Newman is a film and television veteran whose film productions include Academy Award-nominated CHILDREN OF MEN, Zack Snyder's reimagining of DAWN OF THE DEAD, and THE LAST EXORCISM. After twenty-plus years in the movie industry, Newman transitioned into television in 2013 as an executive producer on Netflix's HEMLOCK GROVE. In 2015, his curiosity about the international drug trade led him to conceive, develop, and executive produce his passion project, NARCOS. The show debuted to massive success and in addition to Executive producer, Newman also became a writer and the showrunner of the series. He also served as executive producer and showrunner of seasons 1 and 2 of the spinoff series NARCOS: MEXICO for which his writing was nominated for a Writer's Guild Award. Since 2017 he has made his home at Netflix with overall deals in both film and television. There, in addition to the NARCOS franchise, he has written and/or produced multiple projects for Netflix including films BRIGHT starring Will Smith; PROJECT POWER, starring Jamie Foxx; and SPIDERHEAD starring Chris Hemsworth and Miles Teller, and series TRUE STORY starring Kevin Hart; and the 2022 hit, THE WATCHER. Newman's upcoming 2023 releases for Netflix include Zack Snyder's sci-fi epic, REBEL MOON, limited series PAINKILLER starring Uzo Aduba and Matthew Broderick, and the Sofia Vergara fronted GRISELDA, inspired by the life of cocaine queen Griselda Blanco. In addition to ZERO DAY, Newman is in production on the Netflix series, AMERICAN PRIMEVAL which stars Taylor Kitsch and Betty Gilpin, written by Mark L. Smith and directed by Peter Berg.

He wrote the Academy Award-nominated film Jackie, winning Best Screenplay at the 73rd Venice Film Festival.

Oppenheim was most recently the president of NBC News, leading the division's flagship brands -- TODAY, NBC Nightly News, Meet the Press, and Dateline -- its business operations, editorial units, digital properties, and bureaus around the world. Oppenheim led a transformation of the division, significantly expanding its digital newsroom, launching three streaming networks -- NBC News NOW, TODAY All Day, Dateline 24/7 -- and delivering record-breaking financial results every year of his tenure. In 2019, Oppenheim launched NBC News Studios, executive producing the The Thing About Pam, NBC's top-rated new series for the 2021-2022 season, and several documentary films that have screened at top festivals.
