Filmed in six countries across three continents, ZeroZeroZero explores the consequences and contradictions of globalisation through the drug trade. From the award-winning team behind Gomorrah, the highly anticipated eight-part series premieres in Australia on Monday May 11 at 9.30pm on SBS VICELAND and the entire season will be available on SBS On Demand on Monday May 11.

The series boasts a renowned international cast including celebrated Irish actor and Golden Globe Award winner Gabriel Byrne (Hereditary, The Usual Suspects), award-winning British actress Andrea Riseborough (Birdman, Bloodline), American star Dane DeHaan (Valerian and the City of A Thousand Planets, The Amazing Spiderman 2) and Mexican actor Harold Torres (El Chapo).

From acclaimed directors Stefano Sollima (Gomorrah, Sicario: Day of the Soldado), Pablo Trapero (The Clan) and Janus Metz (True Detective, Armadillo), and writers Leonardo Fasoli (Gomorrah) and Mauricio Katz (Maniac), ZeroZeroZero is the result of over three years of research and interviews.

It explores globalisation through a unique and unexplored perspective, offering viewers a fascinating portrait of cocaine. “ZeroZeroZero” flour is the finest, whitest available. Among narcotraffickers, it is also the nickname for the purest cocaine on the market.

The series follows the journey of a cocaine shipment, from the moment a powerful Italian cartel purchases it, to its packaging in Mexico and shipment across the Atlantic Ocean. Its journey is followed until reaching its final delivery and payment in Europe.

An epic power struggle is sparked among the most powerful bosses in the hierarchy of international organised crime – their lives and livelihoods hang in the balance.

At SBS, we scour the entire globe for fresh new international series that broaden Australia’s worldview, and we’re thrilled to be premiering ZeroZeroZero next month.”

The entire season will be available on SBS On Demand on the same day as premiere.
