Jean Dujardin’s Zorro finally shows himself
Announced in 2022, series Zorro with Jean Dujardin it was starting to drag on. Even though the project was completely unexpected, once launched it seemed obvious. Because we remember that the French actor had already played Don Diego de la Vega for an episode of season 2 of plane tree. Even so, the ambition is different with this creation by Benjamin Charbit (Under control) and Noé Debré (Parliament), who co-wrote the show together with Emmanuel Poulain-Arnaud. Few elements had been revealed so far, except notably a synopsis announcing that, in the series, the masked hero will return to work after a 20-year hiatus!
It is therefore an “aged” Zorro, who thought he had put aside his role as a vigilante in favor of a position as mayor of Los Angeles, what we will discover here. The story will take place in 1821 and will see Don Diego de la Vega trying to reconcile his dual identity as Zorro and mayorand so as not to damage his marriage too much with Gabriella, who obviously knows nothing of his secret…
An encouraging first trailer
Also worn by Audrey Dana, Salvatore Ficarra, André Dussollier, Eric Elmosnino and Grégory Gadebois, the series Zorro finally shows itself in a concrete way with a first teaser (video on the first page of an article) released online by Paramount+. Thus we discover the tone of the program, which will mix action and comedy, without falling into parody. A delicate balance that the writers seem to have found. Visually, these images are also convincing, with settings that don’t look cheap and Jean Dujardin looking very comfortable in the Zorro costume – well, despite the squeak of his boots.
If this first trailer is quite compelling, we will have to wait a little longer before we can discover Zorro on our screens. Consisting of 8 40-minute episodes, season 1 will be broadcast first on Paramount+ starting September 6. The show will subsequently be proposed by France Télévision.
