What Is Terminator Zero About?

Created by Matt Tomslin (known for writing The Batman and the upcoming The Batman Part II), Terminator Zero focuses on a soldier sent back in time to 1997 to protect a scientist named Malcolm Lee, a man who is working on a new A.I. meant to compete with Skynet. Unfortunately, Malcolm is pursued by a relentless assassin hellbent on changing the course of his future. At the same time, Malcolm grapples with the moral and ethical consequences of his A.I. Creation.

Terminator Zero looks to be a bloody and intense new entry into the Terminator canon. The new backdrop and characters will undoubtedly provide a refreshing new perspective on the story that has been redone in almost every Terminator film up to this point. Moreover, the gorgeous animation produced by Production I.G. will undoubtedly help make this Terminator story stand out.

And that’s the Terminator Zero Episode 1 release date, confirmed.
