''Terminator is one of the most iconic sci-fi stories ever created–and has only grown more relevant to our world over time,” said John Derderian, Netflix’s vice president of Japan and anime. ''The new animated series will explore this universe in a way that has never been done before. We can’t wait for fans to experience this amazing new chapter in the epic battle between machines and humans.''

The wildly successful series began in 1984 with the release of James Cameron’s classic starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The film's success led to a franchise consisting of several sequels, a television series, comic books, novels and video games.
