CAST:

Robert De Niro (The Irishman) is George Mullen, hugely popular but complicated former US president who’s pulled out of retirement to head the Zero Day Commission, an unprecedented group of experts tasked with investigating a devastating global cyberattack.

Angela Bassett (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) is President Evelyn Mitchell, the current president of the United States. Mitchell is a brilliant and perceptive political tactician who hires Mullen to take on an unprecedented role in American history.

Jesse Plemons (The Power of the Dog, Fargo) is Roger Carlson, George Mullen’s former aide. Roger is now a trusted fixer and an unabashed hustler who’s seeking a return to the national stage alongside Mullen.

Lizzy Caplan (Fleishman Is in Trouble, Fatal Attraction) is Alexandra Mullen, a young congresswoman from New York who’s worked hard to distance herself from her father’s political legacy and establish herself in her own right.

Connie Britton (White Lotus, Friday Night Lights) is Valerie Whitesell, a savvy, intelligent political operative and Mullen’s former chief of staff who returns to public life to oversee Mullen’s new role back in the spotlight.

Joan Allen (The Bourne Ultimatum, The Contender) is Sheila Mullen, former first lady and nominee to the federal bench. Elegant and always poised, Sheila is a supportive and present wife and mother with strong professional ambitions of her own — and she’s nobody’s fool.

Matthew Modine (Stranger Things, Oppenheimer) is Richard Dreyer, a confident, colorful public figure. As the speaker of the house, he’s an adept politician.

Bill Camp (The Queen’s Gambit, The Night Of) is CIA Director Jeremy Lasch, the ultimate insider who seems to know everyone’s secret. He can either be a dangerous enemy or a valuable friend to Mullen and everyone in his circle.

Dan Stevens (Gaslit, Beauty and The Beast) is Evan Green, the charismatic, calculating, and divisive host of a wildly popular political TV show who becomes a thorn in George Mullen’s side as his loudest critic and chief public antagonist.

McKinley Belcher III (We Won This City, Ozark) is Carl Otieno, a tough, brilliant department of justice lawyer who serves as the Zero Day Commission’s lead investigator.

Gaby Hoffmann (Transparent, GIRLS) is Monica Kidder, a controversial Silicon Valley billionaire whose brilliant vision and technological domination has the power to help or hinder Mullen’s investigation.

Clark Gregg (Painkiller, Florida Man) is Robert Lyndon, a corporate raider, provocateur, and billionaire who has mastered the dark arts of political manipulation.

Mark Ivanir (Away, Barry) is Natan, an intelligence operative and Mullen confidant from an era when intelligence — and trust — still mattered.
