Meet Zorn. He's the Defender of Zephyria; the Conqueror of the tribes of Agon. He has "drank the blood of his fallen enemies ... out of the skulls of their children." Now he's about to embark on his greatest challenge yet: fatherhood.

Jason Sudeikis provides the voice of a cartoon barbarian in the newly-released Comic-Con trailer for the upcoming hybrid live-action/animated comedy series "Son of Zorn," about a He-Man-like warrior who leaves his barbaric kingdom for a chance to rekindle his relationship with his teenage son (21 Jump Street's Johnny Pemberton) who lives in the suburbs of Orange County, CA with his mother (Curb Your Enthusiasm's Cheryl Hines) and soon-to-be stepfather (Saturday Night Live's Tim Meadows).

Slotted for Sunday nights, the series -- which hails from Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the creators of "The Lego Movie" -- is coming to FOX this fall.

synopsis:
Featuring the voice of Jason Sudeikis, SON OF ZORN is a new hybrid live-action/animated comedy about an animated warrior from a faraway island in the Pacific Ocean -- where everything and everyone is animated -- who returns to Orange County, CA, to win back his live-action ex-wife and teenage son. ZORN (Sudeikis), the Defender of Zephyria, Conqueror of the tribes of Agon, decapitator of the dark herdsmen of Grith, has fought in countless epic battles throughout his life, but may find the greatest challenge of all when travels back to suburbia to reconnect with his family.

Once there, Zorn finds himself estranged from his son, ALANGULON or just "Alan" (Johnny Pemberton), a 17-year-old with a mellow, P.C. attitude; and Alan's mother, Zorn’s ex-wife, EDIE (Cheryl Hines), a former wild child now living the life of an upper middle class mom. Zorn's efforts to win them back are complicated by the fact that Edie is now engaged to CRAIG (Tim Meadows), an online psychology professor and a stable presence in their lives. Nevertheless, to be a good dad, Zorn commits to remaining in Orange County for the long haul, renting an apartment and even working in the exciting field of industrial soap sales under his boss, LINDA (Artemis Pebdani), who likes his passion, but just wants him to rein it in at the office. As he adjusts to life in the suburbs, Zorn is the classic fish out of water, navigating his way through fatherhood, divorce and a boring office job. 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: meter maids, dress codes and the DMV.
