Who is still afraid of killer robots? Contrary to the predictions of the Terminator series, many people today are more afraid of machines that could take their jobs. Perhaps this also explains the historical flop of Terminator: Dark Fate. However, Netflix cares little about the franchise’s life-threatening imbalance: A first teaser has now been released for Terminator: The Anime Series.

Check out the first teaser for the Terminator series here:

Terminator: The Anime Series – S01 Announcement (English) HD

Netflix’s Terminator series returns to the beginnings of the franchise after the sci-fi flop

As What’s on Netflix quotes from the official synopsis of the series, the project will take place in the most important year of the franchise story: In 1997, the defense AI Skynet gains self-awareness and starts the war between humans and machines with a nuclear first strike. A soldier is sent back in time from the dystopian future. He is supposed to protect a scientist named Malcolm Lee, who could avert the catastrophe with a competing AI.

The anime series is produced by Studio Production IG, which was already responsible for the Netflix series B: The Beginning. Terminator: The Anime Series will initially consist of eight episodes. There are no pictures or details about the dubbing cast yet.

Whether the series can be successful or spark new enthusiasm for the franchise remains to be seen. Terminator: Dark Fate is considered one of the biggest cinema flops of the last five years and the franchise’s most money-losing film (via The Numbers). “The franchise has become more relevant to our world over time“, What’s on Netflix quotes John Derderian, who is responsible for it. A statement that will surprise even die-hard fans.
