Netflix has released a first teaser trailer for Terminator: The Anime Series. It should be available to stream as a subscription in 2024

and is scheduled to run on the streaming service sometime in 2024 – there is no specific release date at the moment.

Mattson Tomlin (The Batman 2, BRZRKR) is responsible for Terminator: The Anime Series as showrunner, screenwriter and producer. He is working together with the Japanese studio Production IG, which was involved in Ghost in the Shell and Attack on Titan, among others

Will Arnie be back?
With or without Arnie? It is not yet known whether Arnold Schwarzenegger will be inspired to make a cameo in the new Terminator series, for example. After the cinema flops Genisys and Dark Fate the actor had actually said goodbye to Terminator and already announced (via Hollywood Reporter) that he would not be returning for a potential Terminator 7.
At the same time, Schwarzenegger and Netflix are now working closely together – for example, in that he Action commissioner
– which is why at least a small return is not completely unlikely.
