Until now, acting legend Robert De Niro has been seen almost exclusively on the big screen and has become world famous for his roles in films such as “Cape Fear”, “Heat”, “Brazil”, “Raging Bull” and “Ronin”. In series We’ve never really seen the two-time Academy Award winner, other than small cameos in “30 Rock” and “Extras.” That’s going to change.
Like the American industry magazine reported, De Niro gets a role in the Paramount+ series”Bobby deserving” to take over. The thriller-drama project is written and produced by “Richard Jewell” author Billy Ray. It is not yet known when we will see the series and who will play next to De Niro.
By the way, “Bobby Meritorious” is not De Niro’s first series role. A few days ago it was announced that he will play the main character in Eric Newman’s (“Narcos”) new Netflix miniseries “Zero Day”.
That’s what ‘Bobby Meritorious’ is about
In “Bobby Meritorious,” Robert De Niro plays informant Avery “The Sage” Accomando, who could become the downfall of the District Attorney’s office in New York’s Southern District. Former police officer Bobby Meritorious is now one of the most powerful and influential prosecutors in the country. But his biggest case could be his last if Avery really comes clean. A battle between giants begins in which only one thing is at stake: justice.
Whether De Niro’s first series will be “Bobby Meritorious” or “Zero Days” can’t be said yet, as both projects are still in the early stages. So whether we see the superstar first on Netflix or whether Paramount+ will win the race is not yet certain.
The Niro fans should definitely mark October 19, 2023 in red on their calendars. That’s when Martin Scorsese’s new movie “Killers Of The Flower Moon” hits theaters – and De Niro is a part of it!
