“Son of Zorn” Cancelled By FOX

Did the show deserve it?

Live-action/animated comedy hybrid Son of Zorn has been canceled after one season on FOX.

For those that don’t know, Son of Zorn followed Zorn, a He-Man like character divorced from his wife Cheryl who is in the process of getting married to Craig (played by Tim Meadows). The series really follows son Al (Johnny Pemberton), who is actually a hybrid animated/live-action character who by the end of the season is impregnated by his girlfriend.

Problem is, the series took a bunch of episodes to get to that point, and along with not being able to find a showrunner, the writing of the series was probably the biggest pain point in terms of lack of quality for the show. The growth of the animated characters over time coupled with Al’s growing importance to the series were certainly the highlights of the series.
