The iconic sci-fi action film series, including "The Terminator" and "Terminator 2," is set to make its debut as an animated series with Netflix's "Terminator Zero" (working title). This exclusive series will premiere globally on the streaming service on Judgment Day, August 29. Released scene photos, featuring a T-800-style Terminator and the classic "naked" time travel arrival, showcase the quintessential "Terminator" vibe.

The "Terminator" series began in 1984 with the first film directed and written by James Cameron ("Avatar," "Titanic"), becoming a major hit. The series made Arnold Schwarzenegger a global star and depicted a world where AI "Skynet" turns against humanity.

In the films, Judgment Day, August 29, 1997, is the fateful day when the self-aware AI "Skynet" initiates a nuclear war against humanity. The new series is set immediately after this event. Scientist Malcolm Lee is researching the development of a new AI system to counter Skynet's attacks. However, as he faces internal doubts about his creation, a Terminator assassin from the future arrives to eliminate him and prevent the system's completion, putting the fate of Malcolm's three children at risk. Amidst this peril, a soldier appears to protect Malcolm. Can she change the fate of the world?

The newly released scene photos include an ominous Terminator reminiscent of Arnold Schwarzenegger's T-800, the familiar "naked" appearance after time travel, and mass-produced Terminators, all capturing the essence of the Terminator world.

This original animated series raises questions about its connection to the previous films and whether the famous "Da-da-da-dun-da-dun" theme will be featured. Anticipation for the new "Terminator" series is high. The showrunner and executive producer is Mattson Tomlin ("Project Power," "The Batman"), the director is Masashi Kudo ("BLEACH" series, "Hayate the Combat Butler" series), and the animation is produced by Production I.G ("Kaiju No. 8," "Haikyu!!" series).
