A new chapter in the Terminator saga is coming to Netflix. The eight-episode animated series “Terminator: Zero” throws us back into the familiar world of humans versus machines. Set in a war-torn world, it revolves around a desperate attempt to rewrite history.
Voiced by Sonoya Mizuno (“House of the Dragon”), Eiko is a resistance fighter entrusted with a mission to travel back and stop Skynet’s rise to power. Standing in her way is a relentless Terminator, played by Timothy Olyphant (“Justified”). The series delves into the classic Terminator dynamic but with a fresh twist.
André Holland, Rosario Dawson (Ahsoka), and the ever-chilling Ann Dowd join Mizuno and Olyphant in the voice cast.
The official synopsis paints a dire picture: “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.”
Eiko’s mission is clear: protect a scientist named Malcolm Lee. With a Terminator hot on her heels and the moral complexities of artificial intelligence at play, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
“Terminator: Zero” promises an epic time-war adventure filled with action, suspense, and the iconic battles we all know and love. Mark your calendars for August 29th, and prepare to see a new chapter unfold in the Terminator universe!
