Robert De Niro Set to Star In Crime Drama Series BOBBY MERITORIOUS
Robert De Niro is set to star in a new crime drama series for Paramount+ titled Bobby Meritorious. The project is being written and produced by Billy Ray, best known for his work on Terminator: Dark Fate, Richard Jewell, Overlord, The Hunger Games, Captain Philipps, and more.
The series is “set amongst the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, which is a sovereign kingdom with seemingly unlimited power and scope. But now an informant in SDNY’s biggest case, Avery ‘The Sage’ Accomando, played by De Niro, is poised to tear this storied institution apart. Only one man can stop him, a fabled ex-cop-turned prosecutor affectionately known as Bobby Meritorious. The battle between these two giants is a fight for justice itself.”
That sounds like it’ll make for an interesting series. I like these kinds of shows, so I’m all in! This project marks De Niro’s second TV project that he’s joined in a matter of weeks after joining Netflix’s conspiracy thriller Zero Day.
