Robert De Niro Set To Star in New Crime Drama Series MR. NATURAL
Robert De Niro is set to star in and executive produce a new crime drama series titled Mr. Natural for Entertainment One. This sounds like it’ll be an interesting series worth checking out.
The story for the series 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. There will be blood in the sand and bones in the desert. Palm Springs will never be the same.”
Mr. Natural was created by Mitch Glazer (Magic City), and it’s envisioned as a multi-season series, with Glazer executive producing alongside Yellowstone’s Art and John Linson. eOne doesn’t have a platform attached to the series yet, but is expected to be taking it out to market soon.
Mr. Natural is the second series that De Niro has jumped on board recently. In November, it was also announced that he would be starring in Netflix’s limited series Zero Day. Which ever one of these projects goes first, it will be the actor’s first regular TV series role.
Should either project move forward with a series order, it would mark the first regular television role of De Niro.
