A series centered on Diego de la Vega with the Oscar-winning actor in the title role will be released very soon in streaming before being broadcast on television. The first information.
The masked hero is making his comeback on the small screen. A new event series centered on the character of Zorro, for the moment soberly titled Zorro (but this title could change), will soon be put online on the platform streaming Paramount+ before being broadcast on France Télévision.
Jean Dujardin will play Don Diego de la Vega, who has not worn the Zorro mask for 20 years and becomes mayor of Los Angeles in 1821. But financial problems linked to a local businessman will force him to bring out his mask and his sword. At the same time, his marriage to Gabriella, who is still unaware of his dual identity, is put to the test. A first image of the actor in the Zorro costume was revealed this Wednesday (at the top of this article).
The Oscar-winning actor for his role in The Artist will respond to other French actors: Audrey Dana (Under the girls’ skirts, If I were a man), Salvatore Ficarra (Stuck!), André Dussollier (Tanguy, Everything went well, Three men and a bassinet), Eric Elmosnino (Gainsbourg, heroic life, The Bélier family) and Grégory Gadebois (Delicious, Simple things) are all in the cast of the series Zorrocreated by Benjamin Charbit and Noé Debré.
The first season will consist of 8 episodes, each lasting 40 minutes. For the moment, we do not know when the series will be broadcast, but BFM TV tells us that it should be broadcast “later this year”. To discover it before its broadcast on the public channel network, you will therefore need to take out a subscription to Paramount++, from 7.99 euros per month.
