Netflix Cancels Beloved TV Show, Creator Issues Statement
---------------------------------------------------------
Netflix has canceled a beloved TV show after one season. The show's
creator, Mattson Tomlin, recently addressed the disappointing news.

Why did Netflix cancel Terminator Zero?
Terminator Zero has been canceled after one season. Set in the
Terminator universe, the anime series continued the battle between
humanity and the artificial intelligence network known as Skynet.
Terminator Zero is based on the Terminator franchise created by
James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd.

Netflix never announced the cancellation publicly. Tomlin, who
created Terminator Zero for Netflix, confirmed the series had been
canceled in an X post. When asked for a reason, Tomlin said it came
down to viewership.

"It was cancelled. The critical and audience reception to it was
tremendous, but at the end of the day not nearly enough people
watched it. I would've loved to deliver on the Future War I had
planned in season's 2 and 3, but I'm also very happy with how it
feels contained as is."

"Caught between the future and this past is a soldier sent back in
time to change the fate of humanity. She arrives in 1997 to protect
a scientist named Malcolm Lee who works to launch a new AI system
designed to compete with Skynet's impending attack on humanity,"
the Netflix synopsis reads. "As Malcolm navigates the moral
complexities of his creation, he is hunted by an unrelenting
assassin from the future, which forever alters the fate of his
three children."

Tomlin wrote the scripts in English, which were later translated
into Japanese. Terminator Zero featured two voice casts: one in
Japanese and one in English.

The English-dubbed cast included Timothy Olyphant as The Terminator,
Rosario Dawson as Kokoro, Andre Hollandaas Malcolm Lee, Sonoya Mizuno
as Eiko, and Ann Dowdaas The Prophet.

The eight-episode series premiered on Netflix in August 2024 to
positive acclaim. Despite Tomlin's plans for multiple seasons,
Terminator Zero will not continue.
