Netflix recently dropped the first teaser for its upcoming animated series, “Terminator: Zero.” Scheduled for a global premiere on August 29, the eight-episode show will feature Sonoya Mizuno, known for her role in “House of the Dragon,” as the voice of Eiko, the fearless resistance fighter sent back in time to prevent Skynet’s catastrophic onslaught on humanity. Joining the cast is Timothy Olyphant from “Justified,” who will bring the character of Terminator to life.
In 2022, humanity faces a relentless war against powerful machines. The AI Skynet, which gained self-awareness in 1997, sparked this conflict and has been waging war against humans ever since.
The captivating voice cast for this project includes André Holland, Rosario Dawson (as Ahsoka), and Ann Dowd. The main plot revolves around a soldier who is sent back in time to alter the course of human fate.
Her mission in 1997 is to protect a scientist named Malcolm Lee, who is working on launching a new AI system to combat Skynet’s impending assault on humanity. As Malcolm grapples with the ethical implications of his creation, he becomes the target of a relentless assassin from the future, ultimately reshaping the destinies of his three children.
It’s worth noting that Arnold Schwarzenegger has famously portrayed the iconic title role in the live-action Terminator films since 1984.
