Oscar winner Robert De Niro is attached to star in, and executive produce the Paramount+ drama series “Bobby Meritorious” which hails from “Shattered Glass” and “Captain Phillips” scribe Billy Ray.
The story is set in the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York, where Avery ‘The Sage’ Accomando (De Niro), an informant in the office’s most significant case, is poised to tear this storied institution apart.
Only one man can stop him: a fabled ex-cop turned prosecutor known as Bobby Meritorious. Ray is writing and executive producing, whilst De Niro will executive produce along with Jane Rosenthal and Berry Welsh.
Paramount Television Studios has committed to developing it and is producing the project, which would mark De Niro’s second leading role in a TV series. His first is the upcoming Netflix six-episode thriller “Zero Day”.
