In this age of superhero movies and TV, it was only a matter of time before one of the very first masked vigilantes in popular culture returned to the screen. Sure enough, a new TV series is in development based on the classic hero Zorro. The twist is that this will be a modern-day reboot of the property in which the character is a woman.
Deadline has reported that CBS Television and Propagate have partnered up to create the project, which is currently going by the simple title Zorro, for NBC. Magnum P.I.‘s Alfredo Barrios Jr. will serve as showrunner and the Usp of this version is that it’s set to be a contemporary spin on the familiar legend, focusing on a woman named Z, who Deadline describes as “a descendant of the warrior bloodline who will go to great lengths to protect the defenseless in her community.
