ZORRO strikes again

After the successful start of the 10 Spanish Zorro episodes on Amazon Prime is the international content house Mediwan active to place the series also in other markets.

Another 8 Zorro episodes were aired in France on Paramount+ and Canal+ starring Jean Dujardin (The Wolf of Wall Street, Lucky Luke, The Artist) and are expected to also capture international markets.
Wilmer Valderrama and John Gertz are developing a remake of the Zorro series from the 1950s for which they have chosen Brian Cogman (Games of Thrones, Lord of the Rings etc.) as showrunner.

CBS is developing a female modern Zorro series with Robert Rodriguez.
While SONY works on four motion pictures. One of them (Django/Zorro) Quentin Tarantino and John Gertz are executive producers.

In Germany, Europa Park, one of the largest entertainment parks in Europe, launches in Spring 2025 a spectacular Zorro stunt show for at least two seasons. With daily three performances some 5000 spectators, about 200.000 per season are expected.
More than enough to justify a Zorro Merch Shop to satisfy the demand for Zorro licensed merch. Not only for the kids but also their parents, in particular of course their fathers or even grandfathers, who still cherish the international bellowed hero with his 100+ year track record.
If one now still considers that many of the 6 million park visitors per season will pass by the Zorro merch shop, one can endorse Michael Lou´s claim, that there is hardly one single point of sale where one can reach such a large target group at once.
So one can easily understand that Zorro licensees are happy to have such an unique opportunity for a kick-start.

Michael A. Lou heads V.I.P. Entertainment & Merchandising AG, the Hamburg-based licensing agent for Zorro for the German speaking markets.
His agency became known for having acted also as agents for Star Wars, James Bond, Tarzan, Pippi Longstocking, Dallas, the NFL and many international brands.
