I was thrilled to preview an episode of the very weird and oddly lovable SON OF ZORN. The preview, “Return to Orange County,” airs Sunday, Sept. 11 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT), following the season’s first NFL doubleheader, on FOX.
SON OF ZORN is a really ambitious, and crazy, labor of love three years in the making. The team behind this ingenious comedy has been working hard to create a world that seamlessly introduces a seven-foot-tall animated warrior (think Archer + HE MAN) into the live-action suburbs of America. And it works brilliantly!
SON OF ZORN is a new hybrid live-action/animated comedy about ZORN (Jason Sudeikis, THE LAST MAN ON EARTH, “Horrible Bosses,” “We’re the Millers”), a warrior from the island nation of Zephyria – where everything and everyone is animated – who returns to Orange County, CA, to win back his live-action ex-wife, EDIE (Cheryl Hines, “Curb Your Enthusiasm”), and teenage son, ALANGULON, aka ALAN (Johnny Pemberton, “21 Jump Street”). ZORN has fought in countless epic battles throughout his life, but he may find the greatest challenge of all when he travels back to suburbia to reconnect with his family. As he adjusts to life in the suburbs, Zorn is the classic fish out of water, navigating his way through fatherhood, a boring office job and an ex-wife who’s moved on. Sure, as an overlord of pain, he defeated glombeasts, wolf-bats and bloodthirsty arachnobots, but now he’ll go toe-to-toe with a new set of enemies: motorcycle cops, office bullies and teen angst. The series also stars Tim Meadows (“Saturday Night Live”) and Artemis Pebdani (“Scandal,” “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”).
Get into the Zephyrian spirit and come away to the magical land of…Orange County!
