Exclusive: Mozhan Navabi (The Blacklist) has been cast in the Netflix limited series Zero Day in a recurring role portraying Melissa Kornblau.
From creators and executive producers Eric Newman (Narcos), Noah Oppenheim (Jackie) and Michael Schmidt, Zero Day asks the question: 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 imagining?
At the center of the narrative is Mullen (Robert De Niro), a popular but complicated figure who is yanked back from retirement to head up a commission investigating a global cyberattack.

Today, Netflix released character descriptions along with some additional casting for their upcoming limited series, Zero Day.
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?
As previously announced, Robert De Niro leads the cast as George Mullen, a massively popular but complicated former American President who is pulled from retirement to head a commission tasked with investigating a devastating global cyber-attack.
Angela Bassett, Dan Stevens, Matthew Modine, Bill Camp, and McKinley Belcher III have been added to the cast, along with Gaby Hoffman, Clark Gregg, and Mark Ivan.
Bassett will play President Mitchell, a brilliant and perceptive political tactician with an allegiance to Mullen.

Netflix’s Zero Day, Robert De Niro’s first scripted TV role, has shut down production amid the ongoing strike by the Writers Guild of America.
The six-episode drama is being directed and exec produced by Lesli Linka Glatter, who helms all the episodes. Glatter is also the president of the Directors Guild, which has already reached a tentative deal with the studios and streamers. The guild’s 19,000 members are now voting on whether to ratify the agreement with the AMPTP or reject the deal and send the DGA back to the bargaining table.
Sources say production on Zero Day started Monday on location in New York, where it was greeted with picketing members of the Writers Guild. Glatter, it’s worth noting, and the DGA secured its tentative deal with the AMPTP late Saturday night.

Exclusive: Netflix’s upcoming high-profile limited series Zero Day, starring and executive produced by Robert De Niro, has become the latest project whose production has been impacted by the ongoing writers strike.
With the WGA work stoppage in its 38th day and a potential SAG-AFTRA strike on the horizon, the cast and crew of Zero Day were sent home yesterday, Deadline has learned. The series, which has been filming in and around New York, has shut down for the duration of the work stoppage(s). Given the fluid situation, with writers on the picket lines while SAG-AFTRA is negotiating with AMPTP, there is no set return date, we hear. September has been floated as a possibility.

The two-time Oscar winner will lead Bobby Meritorious, an original series that comes from Paramount Television Studios. Paramount made the commitment to develop the project after winning out a competitive situation.
It marks De Niro’s second TV project to emerge in a matter of weeks after conspiracy thriller Zero Day, from Eric Newman, landed a limited series order at Netflix.
The series is set amid the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, which is a sovereign kingdom with seemingly unlimited power and scope. But now an informant in Sdny’s biggest case, Avery “The Sage” Accomando, played by De Niro, is poised to tear this storied institution apart. Only one man can stop him, a fabled ex-cop-turned prosecutor affectionately known as Bobby Meritorious.

Netflix is getting back in the Robert De Niro business -- but this time, it won't be for a big-budget movie. Instead, the streaming service has partnered with the legendary actor for his very first TV series in the form of a conspiracy thriller titled "Zero Day." The limited series, which will run six episodes, was created by Noah Oppenheim ("Jackie"), who will serve as an executive producer alongside Eric Newman and De Niro.
De Niro, known for his roles in classics such as "Heat," "The Godfather Part II," and "Goodfellas," among many, many others, previously teamed with Netflix on Martin Scorsese's ambitious "The Irishman." Clearly, that experience went well enough for him to finally jump into the world of TV after a decades-long career that dates back to the '70s. As for what the show is about? The synopsis reads as follows:
"Zero Day" asks the question...

Netflix is adding another big name to its talent roster.
The streaming service announced a series order for a new political limited series featuring Robert De Niro, marking his first regular role on the small screen.
Here's the official logline:

"What an honor to have this A-list caliber of talent assembled,...
