Netflix and Skydance Are Turning ‘Terminator’ into an Animated Series!
In the wake of the box office underperformance of 2019’s Terminator: Dark Fate, the franchise isn’t heading back to the big screen but rather the small screen for a fresh new series.
According to The Hollywood Reporter tonight, Netflix and Skydance are joining forces for a series that will bring the Terminator franchise into the world of animation!
The even better news? The Batman writer Mattson Tomlin will show-run the series.
Tomlin said in a statement shared by The Hollywood Reporter, “Anyone who knows my writing knows I believe in taking big swings and going for the heart. I’m honored that Netflix and Skydance have given me the opportunity to approach Terminator in a way that breaks conventions, subverts expectations and has real guts.”
Netflix’s John Derderian promised in a statement of his own, also shared by THR, “The new animated series will explore this universe in a way that has never been done before.”
Production I.G is producing the series with Netflix and Skydance.
Launched in 1984 with James Cameron’s original action-slasher, the Terminator franchise to date includes six films and a short-lived spinoff television series. The franchise did head into the world of animation with Terminator Salvation: The Machinima Series back in 2009, a web-series. That series took place between the events of Rise of the Machines and Salvation.
