Netflix's Zero Day has added four more big names to its cast.
On Monday, the streaming service announced Lizzy Caplan (Fleishman Is in Trouble and Fatal Attraction), Jesse Plemons, Joan Allen, and Connie Britton were the latest stars confirmed for the series.

Allen will play Sheila Mullen, the "former First Lady and nominee to the federal bench whose professional ambitions take a backseat to her husband's political career."
Britton is on board as Valerie Whitesell, "a savvy, intelligent political operative who was Mullen's former Chief of Staff."
