Zorro is a fresh French-language reimagining of the legendary masked hero starring Academy Award winner Jean Dujardin (The Artist). Blending swashbuckling action, light comic flair and romance, the eight-episode series, subtitled in English, premieres June 30 exclusively in the U.S. and Canada on MHz Choice, with two episodes and a “making of” special debuting at launch followed by weekly episodes every Tuesday through August 11. Zorro previously premiered on France 2 and Paramount+ in select international territories, where it drew strong attention as the first-ever French-language television adaptation of the iconic character. The series marks the latest onscreen revival of the legendary masked hero created in 1919 by American pulp writer and author Johnston McCulley in the story “The Curse of Capistrano.” Over the decades, the story of Zorro and his masked vigilante persona has captivated audiences worldwide through acclaimed film adaptations, hit television series, and enduring pop culture appeal. Among them was the commercially successful 1975 French feature film Zorro, which made screen legend Alain Delon the last French actor to portray the legendary character on screen — until now. This new interpretation of Zorro carries a playful visual style inspired by legendary filmmaker Ernst Lubitsch, and was conceived in the tradition of swashbuckling films and French vaudeville. It also draws from Los Angeles’ turbulent early history and the first Mexican Revolution, weaving larger themes of power, greed, and social change into the narrative. Set in 1821 against the backdrop of a rapidly changing Los Angeles, Don Diego de la Vega (Jean Dujardin) unexpectedly inherits the role of mayor following his father’s death, only to discover a city drowning in debt and under the grip of the powerful Don Emmanuel (Eric Elmosnino, Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life.) Determined to restore order and bring vital water access to the struggling community, Diego quickly realizes that politics alone cannot combat the corruption, exploitation, and growing unrest surrounding him. Diego secretly revives his long-abandoned alter ego for the first time in 20 years, becoming the masked vigilante Zorro as he fights for the people while publicly trying to govern the city as its conflicted mayor. As Diego struggles to balance civic leadership with his dangerous double life, the lines between the man and the myth begin to blur in increasingly complicated ways. Zorro unexpectedly becomes a celebrated folk hero across Los Angeles, as the city’s citizens rally behind the masked avenger more enthusiastically than its own government. At the same time, Diego’s personal life spirals into emotional chaos as his wife Gabriella (Audrey Dana, Roman de Gare) becomes drawn to the mystery and passion surrounding Zorro, unaware that the masked figure and her husband are the same man. Their tangled relationship contributes to the series’ humor, romance, and emotional conflict as Diego battles jealousy, secrecy, and the consequences of living as two different people. Shot entirely in Spain, Zorro was created and co-written by Benjamin Charbit (Under Control, Gagarine, Notre Dame, Savages, The Trouble with You), Noé Debré (Parliament, Stillwater, Dheepan), and Emmanuel Poulain-Arnaud (The Test). The series was directed by Jean-Baptiste Saurel (Parallels) and Emilie Noblet (Parliament, The 7 Lives of Lea). It was produced by Le Collectif 64 (Marc Dujardin), Bien Sûr Productions (Julien Seul) and Montebello Productions (François Ivernel), in co-production with Panache Productions (André Logie and Gaëtan David), RTL-Tvi and Wallimage. Executive Producer is Carlos Ruiz Boceta (Buttercup Films).
