Bernardeau stars opposite Renata Notni (“El Dragón: Return of a Warrior”), a rising young Mexican talent, as Lolita Marquez. The cast is completed by Dalia Xiuhcoatl, Paco Tous, Emiliano Zurita and Joel Bosqued.

“Zorro” is executive produced by John Gertz, founder of Zorro Productions Inc. and producer on “The Mask of Zorro” and “The Legend of Zorro” movies, alongside David Martínez, David Cotarelo, Sergio Pizzolante and Angela Agudo for Secuoya Studios, Andy Kaplan for KC Global Media and Jesús Torres and Glenda Pacanins at NoStatusQuo Studios

The 10-part show was written by Carlos Portela (“Velvet Collection”) and directed by Javier Quintas (“Money Heist”), Jose Luis Alegría (“Toy Boy”) and Jorge Saavedra (“Mr Smith and Mrs Wesson”).

The premiere screening at Mipcom will be followed by a Q&A with the key cast, including Bernardeau, Notni and Xiuhcoatl.

Valérie Vleeschhouwer, Mediawan Rights’ managing director, described the reboot as a “bold adaptation which will provide to a broad audience a good mix of action, adventure, and uplifting moments.”
