The anime “Terminator Zero”, adapted from the classic series, has finally released its first trailer, and, Judgment Day is coming soon.
The upcoming animated version of the Terminator has been in the works for a few years, and earlier this year Netflix finally confirmed that the series will be released on August 29, which happens to be the date of Judgment Day in the original film. Now, Netflix has released the first trailer for Terminator Zero, which you can check out below. Not only that, but the cast of the series has also been announced, including Timothy Olyphant (Justified, The Mandalorian), Rosario Dawson (Ahsoka), Sonoya Mizuno (House of the Dragon, Ex Machina), André Holland (Moonlight), and Ann Dowd (Hereditary).

It looks like the series is mostly in good hands, as it’s being produced by Production IG – the same company that m ade the original Ghost in the Shell movie. What better than the studio that helped create some of the best science fiction out there? The series looks just as bleak as you’d expect – this is the Terminator universe, after all, which isn’t exactly known for being the happiest of worlds – but the animation at least offers something fresh in that regard.

While the series has always been a bit confusing chronologically, it’s unclear how the show will fit into that. We know that the series tells the story of a woman named Eiko, voiced by Mizuno, who is tasked with stopping Skynet’s impending attack, and that Olyphant will play the Terminator in this production, who of course is out to stop her. Supposedly a “good” AI is being developed in 1997 Tokyo, so who knows if canon will change. Regardless, we’ll find out soon enough when the anime hits Netflix on August 29!
