‘Andor’ Production Reportedly Cost Disney $645M+ For Two Seasons, More

And it was far better than RISE OF SKYWALKER. It's the best thing
Disney has put together in years. Not just because of the budget,
though it certainly helped. They actually had a good and complex story
to tell in ANDOR.

‘Zero Day’ Trailer: Robert De Niro Searches For Truth In Devastating
Cyberattack  (Dec. 23)

https://deadline.com/2024/12/zero-day-trailer-robert-de-niro-angela-bassett-netflix-series-1236240952/

["Netflix has dropped the first trailer for 'Zero Day,' the upcoming
limited series starring Robert De Niro as a former U.S. president who is
yanked out of retirement to investigate a nationwide cyberattack."]

Why would anyone call on a former US President to investigate a cyber
attack. Even if he had been a cyber expert in the past after a term or
two as President his skills would be out of date compared to any
current experts.
