Terminator Zero Hypes Netflix Launch With New Poster

Terminator Zero is gearing up for its big debut. On August 29, Netflix and Skydance Television will come together to bring the Terminator out for a brand-new outing. Set in Japan, Terminator Zero promises to bring new heroes into the franchise with help from the team at Production I.G. And today, Netflix is hyping the anime’s debut with a special new poster.

As you can see, the poster for Terminator Zero is the perfect homage to cyberpunk successes like Ghost in the Shell and Akira. The black-and-white visual puts a new Terminator front and center as the cybernetic assassin is easily recognizable. To the right, we can see a slew of new characters ranging from soldiers to scientists. So if this poster has you feeling hyped, be sure to tune into Terminator Zero when it launches next week.

Now for those unfamiliar with the original anime, Netflix brought in Mattson Tomlin to develop Terminator Zero and hired Production I.G. to oversee animation. With director Masashi Kudo at the helm, the IP-based anime marks a first for Terminator. The blockbusting franchise has never delved into animation before, and based on the trailers we’ve seen of Terminator Zero, the anime will lean into the horror space.
