Terminator Zero on Netflix: The ultimate battle for humanity, between past and future

On August 29, 2024, Netflix unveils Terminator Zero, an animated series that plunges into the dystopian world of Terminator, revisited by screenwriter Mattson Tomlin(Project Power) and directed by Masashi Kudo(Bleach). This new series blends action, thriller and science fiction to offer a captivating new version of the desperate struggle between mankind and machines. Set both in 2022, in a future devastated by war, and in 1997, the year when everything turned upside down, Terminator Zero promises to reinvent the legendary saga with hard-hitting animation and a suspenseful story.

Terminator Zero transports us to the year 2022, to a world where humanity is on the brink of extinction, fighting relentlessly against an inexhaustible army of machines controlled by Skynet, an artificial intelligence that has become sentient and determined to wipe out the human race. The war has been raging for decades, but hopes of victory are fading by the day.

In a desperate attempt to change the course of history, a soldier from the future is sent to 1997, the year Skynet became aware of its existence and launched its attack on mankind. Her mission: to protect Malcolm Lee, a brilliant researcher working on a new artificial intelligence system capable of countering Skynet. Malcolm is faced with moral dilemmas concerning his creation, which may well be mankind's last chance of survival.

However, Malcolm and his three children are being hunted by a ruthless assassin from the future, whose mission is to eliminate any threat to Skynet before it can materialize. As the fate of the world rests in the hands of Malcolm and the soldier, they must navigate through time paradoxes, Skynet threats and the moral implications of their fight to try and change history before it's too late.
