Netflix has teamed up with animation experts at Skydance and Production I.G. to bring an anime adaptation of the Terminator universe. This new series, dubbed Terminator Zero, has just released its first trailer, which was recently announced. The series promises a hardcore and action-packed experience for fans of the franchise.
The story involves time travel, detailing how the near-apocalyptic war for humanity's survival reaches a critical juncture in the futuristic year of 2022. At the same time, it follows a plot to alter this outcome by journeying back to 1997, the year Skynet achieved self-awareness. Though the narrative is set within the established Terminator lore and will feel familiar to long-time fans, it introduces a fresh slate of characters and focuses on new individuals never before seen in the series.
Watch the trailer for Terminator Zero to get a glimpse of what's to come before its premiere on Netflix on August 29, 2024. The synopsis offers a deeper dive into the storyline: a relentless war has been ongoing between humans and machines in 2022. Back in 1997, Skynet's self-awareness triggered the conflict.
In the midst of these two timelines is a soldier who travels back to 1997 with a mission to change humanity's destiny. Her goal is to protect a scientist named Malcolm Lee, who is on the verge of launching a new AI system intended to counteract Skynet's rising threat. As Malcolm grapples with the moral dilemmas posed by his creation, he and his family find themselves pursued by a merciless future assassin, an event that profoundly reshapes the lives of his children.
