Netflix announced today the global premiere date for Zero and dropped a teaser for the new fantasy Original series from Italy.
Based on the novel Non ho mai avuto la mia età by Antonio Dikele Distefano, a rising star in the publishing scene in Italy, fantasy drama series Zero centers on a shy boy named Omar who is so accustomed to feeling invisible to other, he might as well be zero to them.
Omar/Zero wants to escape the Barrio, the neighborhood in a Milan suburb where he lives, but when the Barrio comes under threat from a small-time criminal who is setting about to control the area, his feeling of invisibility is made manifest: Zero becomes literally invisible. With this superpower, Zero becomes a modern-day hero when he meets and teams up with new friends Sharif, Inno, Momo, and Sara to save their neighborhood.
Zero, a Netflix Original series, premieres globally on April 21, exclusively on Netflix. (You can set a reminder for it now on the show’s Netflix page.)
Produced by Fabula Pictures (Baby, Sanctuary) with the participation of Red Joint Film, the eight-episode fantasy series is written by Antonio Dikele Distefano with Stefano Voltaggio (Inspector Nardone), Massimo Vavassori (Italia 70), Carolina Cavalli (Mi hanno sputato nel milkshake), and Lisandro Monaco (7 vite).
