The series projects of the master actor are coming one after another…
Oscar-winning veteran actor Robert De Niro will star and executive produce on “Bobby Meritorious,” the Paramount+ drama series from “Shattered Glass” and “Captain Phillips” screenwriter Billy Ray.
The story of “Bobby Meritorious” takes place in the US Attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York and follows Avery ‘The Sage’ Accomando (De Niro), an informant in the most important case, as he prepares to tear this historic institution apart.
Only one man can stop him: Bobby Meritorious. Meritorious was a legendary cop to the prosecutor. Billy Ray will write and executive produces, while De Niro will executive produce alongside Jane Rosenthal and Berry Welsh.
The first series in which De Niro will play the leading role will come to Netflix screens. “Zero Day” will be penned by Eric Newman, one of the writers and producers of “Narcos,” and Noah Oppenheim, president of NBC News. The duo will also serve as executive producers of the series. Among the authors of the story of the series is Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Schmidt.
De Niro will play a former US president in “Zero Day.” The veteran actor will also star in and executive produce on Entertainment One’s crime thriller “Mr. Natural”.
