Robert De Niro has landed another television role. It was announced a few weeks ago that the actor would star in a political thriller titled Zero Day on Netflix. De Niro will play a former U.S. President. It’s now been revealed that the actor will executive produce and star in Mr. Natural from Entertainment One. A network or streaming service has not yet been found for the new drama.
Variety revealed the following about the plot of the Mr. Natural series from creator Mitch Glazer:
The project follows Louis “Mr. Natural” Baron (De Niro), who, fresh off a 30-year stint in federal prison, hits Palm Springs driven by a dream to reunite with his stolen family and a dangerous scheme to grab a taste of the Salton Sea’s lithium billions, per the logline for the potential series. There will be blood in the sand and bones in the desert. Palm Springs will never be the same.
Additional details for the series will be announced at a later date.
What do you think? Do you plan to check out Zero Day or the Mr. Natural series when they eventually premiere?
I wouldn’t go to a free De Niro production of any type the guys are raving, lunatic and still backs of president who couldn’t fight his way out of a paper bag
Tulsa King is about a guy who gets out of prison after 25 years. Gets back in the biz. Staring an old movie star in Syvester Stallone. Sounds like the same thing, but with an even older ex star in De Niro. He has been firmly in the “anything for money” part of his career for 15 years now. He will be in any movie or tv show that will have him.
I can hardly wait! Please let me know!
Sounds intriguing! I will watch it.
