Robert De Niro is coming to Netflix

Robert De Niro was long considered one of American cinemas greatest actors. And there's an argument to be made for that still being true, even if the last 20 years of his filmography hasn't exactly lived up to what came before.

Here's Robert De Niro in recent comedy classic Bad Grandpa, starring Zac Efron

But like all known movie actors, TV has come calling and De Niro has signed on to a Netflix series. Zero Day will be a 6-episode series directed by Lesli Linka Glatter and co-written by Eric Newman and Noah Oppenheim.

“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?”

It sounds alright. It may not be as good as The Intern, but it may still be worth your time...
