The New Adventures of Zorro is the third animated television series to feature the character of Zorro. The show aired for two seasons in weekly syndication, from September 20, 1997 to December 12, 1998.[2]
The show starred Michael Gough as Zorro/Diego de la Vega, with Earl Boen as Captain Montecero, the lead villain. Patrick Fraley played Diego's father, Don Alejandro de la Vega, and Tony Pope was the bumbling Sergeant Garcia, who was popularized by Henry Calvin on the 1950s Disney live-action series. This series added elements of science fiction and fantasy to the Zorro legend, with the hero battling supervillains who used steampunk gadgets and magic. Zorro employed similar equipment designed by his mute manservant, Bernardo, and was aided by the magic of the Native American wise woman, Grey Owl.
The show's first ten episodes were released on VHS in 1998 by Warner Home Video. Six episodes were released on DVD in 2004 by Warner Home Video and was re-released in 2010.
