Zorro Rides Again On Amazon Prime Video

Set in the sun-drenched landscapes of 1834 California, the new series delves deep into the origin story of Zorro, the masked vigilante who fights for the oppressed and stands against tyranny. At its heart is Diego de la Vega, portrayed with charisma by Miguel Bernardeau. Diego returns to California with a burning desire for justice, seeking vengeance for his father’s murder and reclaiming what is rightfully his.

Staying true to the Zorro brand, Diego’s journey is one of sacrifice and self-discovery as he navigates a treacherous landscape filled with betrayal, secrets, and unexpected allies. Along the way, he encounters Lolita Márquez, played by Renata Notni, whose love for Diego is tested by the dangers that surround them. Together, they must confront a corrupt Governor, a sinister secret society, and the enigmatic figure of Nah-Lin, whose true motives remain shrouded in mystery.

The Characters

Joining Bernardeua and Notni in the cast of Zorro is Rodolfo Sancho, who delivers a compelling performance as Gobernador Pedro Victoria, a man whose iron grip on power threatens to crush all who oppose him. Dalia Xiuhcoatl joins the ensemble as Nah-Lin, a complex antagonist whose motivations blur the lines between hero and villain. And Paco Tous plays the loyal Bernardo, whose unwavering support serves as a beacon of hope in the darkest of times.

Zorro was shot on location over eight months in the breathtaking Canary Islands. From the bustling streets of Las Palmas to the rugged landscapes of Del Nublo Park, each setting serves as a backdrop for the epic tale that transports audiences to a bygone era of adventure, danger, and romance.
