Robert De Niro To Star In Crime Drama Series ‘Bobby Meritorious’ In Development

Posted by on


    Two-time Academy Award winner Robert De Niro is attached to star in Bobby Meritorious, a crime drama series in the works at Paramount+.

   Written and executive produced by Billy Ray, whose best-known television work is the Showtime limited series The Comey Rule, the series comes from Paramount Television Studios, and it is executive produced by Preet Bharara,  the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York between 2009 and 2017 before his firing by then-President Donald Trump presumably to stave off investigation. Apparently, there was fierce competition to win the bidding war to develop the series. As part of the deal, Bharara’s book Doing Justice: A Prosecutor’s Thoughts on Crime, Punishment, and the Rule of Law has also been optioned by the company so that may be developed into something shortly as well. The series is set at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, called a "sovereign kingdom with seemingly unlimited power and scope". Avery “The Sage” Accomando, played by De Niro, an informant in SDNY’s biggest case, is set to tear the office apart. A fabled ex-cop-turned prosecutor Bobby Meritorious is the only one who can stop him in a fight for justice itself.

    Ray's other credits include writing six of and directing three of nine episodes of the single-season Amazon series The Last Tycoon. Ray's film writing credits include the first The Hunger Games, as well as Richard Jewell, Gemini Man, Terminator: Dark Fate, and Captain Phillips. De Niro gained his first series regular role in the limited series Zero Day recently ordered by Netflix. His highly regarded 50-year film career has too much to cherrypick, but his recent credits include Joker, The Irishman, and Amsterdam, and his tenth collaboration with director Martin Scorsese, Killers of the Flower Moon, the recently-wrapped Wise Guys, which just received a February 2, 2024 release date, and Inappropriate Behavior among his upcoming films.
