Netflixwill soon bring one of the biggest sci-fi franchises back to our screens, with a new series based on, arguably, James Cameron’s finest movies.

Thestreaming servicewill play host toTerminator Zero, an eight episode series that sees the franchise return to its killer-thriller roots as, once again, a soldier is sent back in time to thwart the plans of a Terminator.

This time the soldier is a woman (Sonoya Mizuno), who is sent to 1997 to protect Malcolm Lee (André Holland), a scientist who creates a rival AI that could destroy Skynet.

That could apply to the whole show too, asTerminator Zerois the first in the franchise to be fully animated. It is an anime series from the studio behindGhost in the Shell, which should mean it pulls few punches.

Certainly, Tomlin believes that it stays closer to the spirit of Cameron’s 1984 movie than it doesT2: Judgment Dayand the other sequels that followed. It channels the original “serial killer” vibes, he reportedly told the crowd at the 2024 Anime Expo in LA (viaDeadline).

Game of Thrones’Lena Headey starred as Connor, but while it encompassed 31 episodes, it didn’t really catch on and was cut short before really catching on. That was prior to the streaming boom though, so who knows how well it could have done had it been attached to a major service?

Hopefully this anime run will have more success and kickstart the franchise back to life after a fairly turgid run of movies. WhileSalvationwas interesting and had its moments,GenisysandDark Fatestruggled to capture the imagination – even with Arnie back on board.

We should find out soon as Terminator Zero will start on Netflix on 29 August – or “Judgment Day”, as it’s otherwise known.
