Now THIS sounds like a good idea. If it can be done in the style of the POTC movies, I think it could be really cool.

Yeah, this seems like a good idea. Zorro is kinda know, but not enough to have too much baggage about what it is "supposed" to be. And while it's nominally the Western genre it has enough potential distinctiveness to not be shunned by those who don't care for that genre.

It also is an opportunity to have a show with a lead who is a POC for ongoing diversity on the programming.

I agree a new Zorro show could be a great addition to Disney plus

Bout time. Great news! Loved watching the B/W series on TV back in the day. Looking forward to this.
Now... and listen carefully Disney... THIS would be the right IP for WDW's Frontierland. #synergy

I agree, a new Zorro series, starring Valderrama, is a great idea. Especially if the producers give it a Douglas Fairbanks flair and a sense of humor. (Still not gonna sign up for Disney+ though. Not enough good programming to make it worthwhile IMO).

"Bryan Cogman (Game of Thrones) is attached as writer, showrunner, and executive producer of Disney Branded Television’s Zorro (wt) series, starring and executive produced by Wilmer Valderrama.

Deadline exclusively revealed the series was in development in late 2021.

The Disney+ series follows privileged caballero Diego De La Vega who returns to his hometown of El Pueblo de Los Angeles following a family tragedy. There, he discovers a culture of corruption and injustice that will lead him to take on the mantle of the masked vigilante Zorro — America’s first true superhero.

The studio describes Zorro (wt) as a bold reimagining of Disney’s classic series for a modern audience; an epic adventure rooted in California’s rich and diverse history, bursting with humor, sinister intrigue, romantic entanglements, and swashbuckling thrills.

Alongside Valderrama and Cogman, Gary Marsh, and John Gertz serve as executive producers."
