Netflix’s new limited series, Zero Day, starring Robert De Niro, has garnered significant viewership despite mixed reviews from critics and audiences (54% score). Co-creators Eric Newman, Noah Oppenheim, and De Niro himself spoke to The Wrap about the possibility of a second season. While they acknowledge that the story is complete, they express their enthusiasm for working together again.
De Niro suggests a potential continuation or spin-off exploring new aspects with the same cast, as his involvement is crucial to securing additional seasons. This sentiment aligns with Oppenheim’s sentiment that the team could create something unique and special. The fact that De Niro commands a substantial salary from Netflix adds complexity to renewing the show. However, given the popularity of Zero Day, renewed hopes for a second season are cautiously optimistic.
