Mexican actor and singer Fernando Allende was the first person to be offered the lead as Zorro. He declined the part, however, because the shooting schedule conflicted with his wedding.
Circa 1989, the series was titled "Zorro, The Legend Continues" (or "El Zorro" in Spanish) and featured 24 episodes with Patrick James as Zorro for Caracol Television. Then from 1990 to 1992, the series was revamped as "Zorro" with Duncan Regehr for The Family Channel. Some international channels have aired the Patrick James version in 1991.
Cathi Campo, the series' opening theme singer, is the cousin-in-law of Terry Botwick, who was, at the time, the vice president of original programming for The Family Channel network that aired this series.
