Zorro: Generation Z - The Animated Series - Zorro: Generation Z - Netflix
Zorro: Generation Z is an animated series that began in 2006. Former
Marvel Studios development executive, Rick Ungar, developed the original
series in association with BKN, G7 Animation and Pangea Corporation. The
programming deal and concept for the new series was developed by Ungar,
G7 and Pangea and underwritten partially by a master toy license with
Brazilian toy company, Gulliver Toys. What made the show unique were the
plethora of Pangea-designed high tech gadgets and the conceit of having
the young Zorro ride his motorcycle named after his horse, Tornado. The
show has been aired in the United Kingdom on Pop TV on 7 April 2008 and
was shown on Kix! on 19 May 2008. This version of the Zorro story
features a descendent of the original Zorro, named Diego de la Vega, as
the original Zorro, fighting crime and the corrupt government of Pueblo
Grande in a near-future setting. Zorro: Generation Z has yet to air in
the United States. The series has already been shown in the Philippines
via Hero TV. The second season of 26 episodes of the series was
announced in 2009, entitled Zorro Generation Z: HD but were not fully
completed or released for broadcast. Despite a press statement from
Nicola Andrews, Managing Director of BKN New Media Ltd in London, who
noted: 'We have already commissioned and produced Season II for 2009,"
BKN shortly thereafter filed for insolvency in the middle of 2009 and
was acquired by Cookie Jar Entertainment in 2010. Some of the assets of
BKN are under the control of Emba Media Management International.

Alejandro's grandmother is a Native American and, like Diego's
grandfather, has died before the series begins but appears in dream
sequences as a young girl who offers cryptic advice. She is probably
based on the character White Owl from some recent re–telling of the
Zorro story. She only appears in The Perfect Fox Hunt.
