Netflix has released the trailer for new thriller Zero Day, an upcoming political thriller with a big-name cast.
The series is led by Robert De Niro, with Mean Girls' Lizzy Caplan, Breaking Bad's Jesse Plemons, Stranger Things' Matthew Modine, Black Panther's Angela Bassett, The White Lotus season 1's Connie Britton and Downton Abbey's Dan Stevens also starring, to name just a few.
