The anime Terminator Zero continues the plot of the iconic sci-fi franchise, which focuses on preventing the war between humans and machines and mentions several easter eggs such as Skynet and the T-800.According to Screenrant, the series has garnished an outstanding 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The creator, Mattson Tomlin (Project Power), gives an update on a possible future for the anime that could last for six seasons. The voices behind the characters include André Holland (Moonlight), Sonoya Mizuno (Ex Machina), Armani Jackson (Wolf Pack) and Sumalee Montano (Dragon Age: Absolution).
Tomlin told Netflix via Screenrant, “If I had my druthers and I could do all six seasons that I’ve got mapped out. It would be following these kids as they grow — they survive Judgment Day, and then what? And then they’re in their teens, and then they’re in their twenties, and then they’re in their forties, and then they’re in their sixties, and meanwhile they are jumping all over time trying to fix this mess.”
He continued his statement, saying, “The “mess” in question has to do with the big, complicated question of humanity’s future, which has always been integral to the Terminator franchise. “Are we doing anything while we’re here?” I’m not a nihilist — I’m a humanist, and I love people, and I think that there’s a reason that we’re on this planet. With something like TERMINATOR ZERO , where you have these big themes about technology and about an apocalypse that is truly driven and created by human beings and our need to invent, press, and push weaponry, it felt like the question to ask: Can we change our fate? We seem to be marching towards doom, and we know it.”
The show’s cliffhanger ending left many viewers wanting more, and the possibility of exploring new storylines and character arcs has generated a great deal of excitement.This update could further introduce a new generation to watch the animated sci-fi series, and with its strong critical reception and dedicated fanbase, the show’s future looks promising.
