Son of Zorn is an American live-action/animated sitcom television series created by Reed Agnew and Eli Jorné. The series stars Cheryl Hines, Johnny Pemberton, Tim Meadows, Artemis Pebdani, and Jason Sudeikis as the voice of Zorn. The first season, which consisted of 13 episodes, premiered on September 11, 2016, on Fox.
The series is about Zorn, a warrior from the fictional South Pacific island of Zephyria who moves to Orange County, California to reconnect with his ex-wife and teenage son, Alan.
Within the show, Zorn and things native to Zephyria are animated, following the style of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, while the rest of the world is live action. The series' opening title cards are rendered in the style of Hanna-Barbera superhero cartoons of the late 1960s such as Birdman and the Galaxy Trio, The Herculoids, Moby Dick and Mighty Mightor, and Samson & Goliath.
The show was created by Reed Agnew and Eli Jorné who wrote the pilot episode while Eric Appel directed. Initially Agnew and Jorne were set to be co-showrunners, however after Fox ordered the series to air Agnew backed out and was made co-executive producer instead. At this point, Sally McKenna was brought in to replace Agnew; McKenna would later, in April 2016, become the sole showrunner after Jorne also left the project.
