What’s This TV Show About?
A hybrid live-action/animated comedy airing on the FOX television network, Son of Zorn follows the animated Zorn (Jason Sudekis). As the Defender of Zephyria, Conqueror of the tribes of Agon, and decapitator of the dark herdsmen of Grith, Zorn has fought in countless epic battles throughout his life. Now, his greatest challenge may be reconnecting with his suburban, live-action family. His mellow teen son Alangulon aka “Alan” (Johnny Pemberton) has a penchant for political correctness. Alan’s mom, Edie (Cheryl Hines), is Zorn’s ex-wife. A former wild child, Edie now lives the life of an upper-middle-class mom. Her stable fiancé, Craig (Tim Meadows), is an online psychology professor who complicates Zorn’s pursuits. Meanwhile at work, Zorn’s boss Linda (Artemis Pebdani) appreciates his passion. She just wants him to rein it in, at their industrial soap sales office.
Season One Ratings
The first season of Son of Zorn is averaging a 1.29 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.03 million viewers. Check out how Son of Zorn stacks up against the other FOX TV shows.
On May 11, 2017, Son of Zorn was cancelled so there won’t be a second season. Could it be revived somehow? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Son of Zorn premiered with a 2.44 in the coveted 18-49 year old demo with 6.13 million viewers. The fish-out-of-water sitcom’s ratings bounce up and down, depending on its lead-in to help draw viewers. When FOX doesn’t have a football game in the late afternoon, Son of Zorn’s ratings are typically poor. The network could keep Son of Zorn around for a second season but I suspect they will cancel it and try something new instead. I think Zorn will be heading back to his island home soon.

Man it makes me not want to watch fox altogether now since son of zorn was canceled my whole family loved son of zorn.
Just another name in the long list of excellent shows cancelled by Fox.
It will cool to see a other season of the show!!
There has to be a season 2!
My boyfriend an I watch it together we always laugh at it, it’s a hilarious show.
Hopefully there is another season! Make season 2 please
There has to be a season 2! my boyfriend an I watch it together it’s so hilarious we love son of zorn
Hopefully they do make another season!
Having Zorn withdrawals ! There needs to be a season 2 !!!
Great show tim meadows is great they are all great every one of them if fox cancels it hopefully another network will pick it up
I’d love to see Netflix pick it up. Networks like Fox will end up a distant memory if they all stay so trigger happy. Way too many one season shows nowadays
Very good points. This show is a definite hit, and ridiculous cancellation. It would be awesome if Netflix dove in and saved the day. Maybe FXX or TBS. Fox cancelled Family Guy twice! Pathetic
I love ZORN! My husband and I watch it and we laugh so hard! Love all the characters. Please. Another season!
Please just give us 1 more season if nothing else. The show had some ups and downs but is overall a quality program.
Agreed! *mind blown* watched the first episode thinking that itwould be a typical obvious comedy (im a fan of subtle humour ala the office, and any british comedy ) butI was PLEASANTLY surprised with son of zorn and have been a huggge fan. Really hope they renew! They don’t give shows a chance anymore!!
this show deserve’s a second season to many shows never get a second chance they throw so many great ideas for shows away PLEASE KEEP THIS ONE.
There is something about this show –
i wanted to just dismiss it out of hand but i kept coming back to it, and now i really hope that cliffhanger ending means there’s a chance for more.
I sure hope it gets a season 2. I became introduced to Son of Zorn when nothing else was on in it’s time slot. I ended up really enjoying the episode & have been hooked on the show ever since. It’s very funny, & I’d love to see more of it!
Awesome show I need to keep it going. I’ve watched all episodes three or four times. Love the show
I sure hope it’s renewed! I always look forward to it when FOX actually decides to air it’s animated shows on time! (It’s very rare, but occasionally they do.) “Son of Zorn” is ridiculously funny and actually very fresh, with the way they comically blend live action and cartoons. (Zorn’s son Alan actually has cartoon legs!) As I said, I really hope that it is renewed, my happiness is riding on it.
Unfortunate, because, I, also, expected Zorn to be a pretty stupid and boring show with obvious humor. Boy, was I wrong. The cast is perfect and Zorn is full of off-the-wall as well as poignant jokes, particularly anchored by Tim Meadows!
