The previously announced Terminator anime is coming to Netflix on August 29 under the Terminator Zero title. Skydance, Production I.G and, creator Mattson Tomlin are producing the series which is slated to have eight episodes. Check out the first preview images:
Netflix describes the Terminator Zero plot as:
2022: A future war has raged for decades between the few human survivors and an endless army of machines. 1997: The AI known as Skynet gained self-awareness and began its war against humanity.
Caught between the future and this past is a soldier sent back in time to change the fate of humanity. She arrives in 1997 to protect a scientist named Malcolm Lee who works to launch a new AI system designed to compete with Skynet’s impending attack on humanity. As Malcolm navigates the moral complexities of his creation, he’s hunted by an unrelenting assassin from the future, which forever alters the fate of his three children.
The plot of the original movie follows a cyborg assassin known as a Terminator, who travels from 2029 to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor, whose unborn son will save mankind in the future. Sent to protect Sarah is Kyle Reese, who divulges the coming of Skynet, an artificial intelligence system that will spark a nuclear holocaust. With the virtually unstoppable Terminator in hot pursuit, she and Kyle attempt to escape.
While the Terminator Zero plot is set in the same universe as the original series, the anime features new characters.
