Miguel Bernardo will play Diego de la Vega, a wealthy Spanish nobleman and protector of poor peasants, while Renata Notni will play Lolita Marquez, the love of her youth.
Directed by Javier Quintas, written by Carlos Portela and produced by David Martinez, David Cotarelo and Angela Agudo, the new television series Zorro is a modern take on the masked hero in ten episodes. It will be filmed over the next few months at various locations in the Canary Islands in Spain. The production will also perfectly show the diversity of the developing world, in which different cultures and backgrounds try to coexist.
“When Andy Kaplan of KC Global Media, Sergio Pizzolante of C&T Mobs and Jesus Torres of NoStatusQuo Studios approached us to make Zorro and we won the trust of John Gertz (founder of Zorro Productions), we showed the honor but also the responsibility by taking taking on the most important Latin American hero of all time and adapting it for a new generation,” said Martinez, head of Secuoya Studios. “For this, we are fortunate to have Amazon Prime Video, the best partners for this journey, to form both a luxurious cast and the best creative and production team in the industry. ”

Zorro will be shaped by the relationships of his youth, love and romantic frustration, which will further his development as a character and reflect a form of masculinity far from stereotyped. His struggle also goes through solving his father’s murder, a personal mission that leads him to discover family secrets that will change his fate forever. Likewise, the women in the series will be visionary, empowered, standing up to the masked hero or acting as proxies, depending on their own interests.
