Netflix will launch the Terminator Zero series this summer, and it looks more promising, at least from a strictly visual point of view. Showrunner Mattson Tomlin, who co-wrote The Batman 2 with Matt Reeves, wants to restore the image of James Cameron's license by drawing on the director's two films. But unlike the two cult feature films, it will not be live-action. A direction which could also be the strength of this new project in view of the new photos shared on the Web.

New visuals for Netflix's Terminator Zero series
Terminator Zero will be the first animated series to be released exclusively on Netflix. The storyline will not ignore time travel or Skynet, but it will not bring back old characters. Mattson Tomlin, who is directing the project, said the main characters have already been largely explored. “I think it was time to tackle new characters and not burden myself with a John/Sarah Connor saga. There have already been several attempts in this direction. But there are a lot of movie reminders » he indicated. On the other hand, the story of Terminator Zero will be very similar to T2, but without T-1000.
2022: A future war has raged for decades between the few surviving humans and an endless army of machines. 1997: The AI known as Skynet becomes self-aware and attacks humanity. Stuck between the future and this past, a soldier goes back in time to change the destiny of humanity, precisely to 1997 to protect a researcher named Malcolm Lee who is working on the launch of a new artificial intelligence system intended to ward off Skynet's impending attack on humanity. Gripped by the moral complexities of his creation, Malcolm is hunted by a relentless assassin from the future, forever altering the destiny of his three children.
