MEDIAWAN RIGHTS CONFIRMS EUROPEAN DEALS FOR ITS POWERFUL DRAMA IP, ZORRO

Paris, 16 October 2023 - The first episode of the highly anticipated show was presented last night during an event opening screening at MIPCOM Cannes in the presence of lead actors Miguel Bernardeau, Renata Notni and Dalia Xiuhcoatl.

Mediawan Rights is proud to confirm agreements for the drama series with key European buyers. M6 group in France, Mediaset in Italy, DPG Media for VTM channels in Flemish Belgium and RTL KLUB in Hungary, among others, will bring the hero back in their respective territories, almost two decades after its last appearance on screen. Other deals are in negotiations.

Zorro’s big comeback on television is an event like no other. The internationally renowned production is a modern adaptation of the adventures of one of the greatest heroes of all time, adapting it for a new generation while keeping the IP’s core DNA.

Mediawan Rights has consistently supported powerful IPs, and today the distribution arm of Mediawan is strengthening this strategy with a bigger capacity of investment in high-end projects, thanks to a partnership with Entourage Ventures. Zorro fits perfectly Mediawan’s goal to invest in such productions and give to creation the means of its ambition.

Produced by Secuoya Studios, Zorro will start airing during the first quarter of 2024 on Amazon Prime Video (US, Latin America, Spain, Andorra and Portugal). Mediawan Rights distributes the series worldwide outside of Prime Video’s commissioning territories.

Valérie Vleeschhouwer, Managing Director of Mediawan Rights, says:

“We are thrilled with these first deals for “Zorro”. It shows how strong the IP is and that this great news version will embrace a global audience all over the world.”
