Since February 20, 2025, Robert de Niro with his first leading role in a US series has been inviting all series and poly thriller fans to the Binge-Watch. In Zero Day, as ex-President George Mullen, he examines the conspiracy behind a catastrophic cyber attack, which demanded over 3000 human lives.
Although the Thriller series may not have become the expected tension highlight, she directly stormed the Netflix charts and has been in the top position for days. The Netflix project can already be booked as a streaming success. But what do the chances for Zero Day Season 2?
Will Zero Day continue with Season 2 at Netflix?
The thriller series Zero Day was currently not yet extended by Netflix. The decisive factor for the streamer is the number of calls within the first 91 days after the start, which is why it could take a few more months before Netflix has a final judgment.
However, the start is extremely promising. As Netflix announced, the series was seen over 19 million times within the first four days and landed In 43 countries in 1st place on the charts. Zero thus put on one of the most successful starts of a Netflix mini series.
Despite the top -class ensemble around Robert de Niro Mixed by the audience and criticism. With the Rotten Tomatoes criticism, Netflix production only comes to a critic score of 54% and a viewer rating of 55%. At the IMDB, the thriller received a more gracious assessment with 7.0 points. Zero Day is also currently holding an average ranking of 7.0 points at the Moviepilot Community.
At first glance, however, there is a problem that speaks against an extension: Netflix itself describes Zero Day as a mini series. At the end of the 6 episodes, the central conspiracy is enlightened and The story actually completed. With just a few open questions and without an excruciating cliffhanger, a 2nd season is not necessary at first – but also not completely excluded.
Zero Day maker gives update: currently no concrete plans for season 2
The past has already shown that TV channels and streamers are happy to make exceptions and still have mini-sizes continued in an enormous success, such as Big Little Lies and The White Lotus or soon also Shogun and Netflix ‘Beef. In the case of Zero Day, this is not planned for the time being, as co-creator Noah Oppenheim confirms in conversation with The Wrap:
I think we all feel that we have told a complete story. But apart from that, here is a group of people who like themselves, and we all had a great experience in production. We often talk about what would happen. What happens to Alexandra Mullen, what happens to spokesman Dreyer the next day? But at the moment there is no active plan.
Although a second season is not on the agenda for the time being, the team behind the series shows great interest in further cooperation. And if it goes according to the main actor Robert de Niro, it shouldn’t lack exciting ideas:
I don’t know if it will be a continuation of the situation with the figure. It could very well be an interesting second part of what we are going through […] Eric [Newman] and Noah Oppenheim and Mike Schmidt could very much very easy to think that it will be special. We all agree.
