Minnie Driver, Luca Pasqualino and Louisa Harland to lead Paramount+'s new thriller The Day

The series unfolds across a single, gripping day.

Paramount+ has announced The Day, a new eight-part high-octane heist thriller, starring Minnie Driver, Luca Pasqualino and Louisa Harland and based on the 2018 Belgian series De Dag. Described as a propulsive edge-of-your-seat thriller, The Day unfolds across a single, gripping day.

When police stumble across a bank robbery mid-heist, the criminals barricade themselves inside, and a terrifying siege begins. The series opens from the police perspective, led by hostage negotiator Sylvia “Vox” Voxley, played by Minnie Driver, as she battles time and rising pressure to save the hostages.

But as the crisis hurtles towards breaking point, the story rewinds, pulling viewers inside the bank to relive the same events through the eyes of the robbers and their hostages.

With each episode flipping perspective between the police operation and the robbers barricaded inside, The Day constantly resets the narrative. Every shift in perspective reframes the truth and deepens the mystery, building to an explosive finale where the full picture finally snaps into place.

Co-Produced and developed by Dynamic Television and Clapperboard Studios, The Day is written by Ben Harris and Jesse O’Mahoney, and is based on the 2018 Belgian series De Dag created by Jonas Geirnaert and Julie Mahieu.

The eight-part thriller is produced by Jake Rollins, co-directed by The Tohill Brothers, and executive produced by Mike Benson and Andy Morgan for Clapperboard Studios, Daniel March for Dynamic Television, and Tamryn Reinecke.

The Day will air on Paramount+
