AHSOKA AND HOUSE OF THE DRAGON STARS JOIN NETFLIX'S NEW TERMINATOR SERIES
The newest addition coming to the Terminator franchise, the animated Netflix series Terminator Zero, will feature Rosario Dawson from Ahsoka and Sonoya Mizuno from House of the Dragon.
This exciting new entry is set to hit streaming on August 29 -- also known as Judgment Day in the Terminator universe -- and features a star-studded voice cast. The buzz started with Timothy Olyphant's inclusion in the new eight-episode series, an actor known for featuring in a wide variety of shows and movies, such as HBO's Deadwood, the 2007 Hitman movie, and the fourth Die Hard film Live Free or Die Hard. Now, new names have been added to Terminator Zero's cast list, per Collider. Rosario Dawson, known for bringing back the titular role in Ahsoka, will be playing an advanced AI known as Kokoro.
RETRO REVIEW: Terminator: Salvation Is an Ambitious Film That No One Asked For
After 15 years, Terminator: Salvation may not be a movie fans wanted, but it is an ambitious look at the front lines of the war against the machines.
Alongside her is André Holland, known for his role in the Academy Award-winning film Moonlight. He has been cast as Malcolm Lee, an inventor working to create an AI that will rival Skynet. Ann Dowd from Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale will play a character known as The Prophet, who guides humanity through the dark times it has entered. Rounding out the cast is Sonoya Mizuno, who plays Mysaria in the generally less-beloved Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon. She plays Eiko, a resistance fighter from a post-Judgment Day version of 2022 sent to stop the launch of Kokoro.
Terminator Zero is in Good Hands
Terminator Zero will be produced by the legendary Japanese animation studio Production I.G., best known for their work on the beloved Ghost in the Shell franchise. Given their history in dark, action-packed science fiction, they seem a perfect fit for a franchise with such gritty sci-fi as Terminator. The new animated series is dedicated to maintaining the continuity of the original series while building on it, taking the audience back to the key moment in the franchise's alternate history when the AI Skynet becomes self-aware. The plot will focus on Malcolm Lee and a soldier sent from the future to protect him. This will no doubt be an epic battle for the fate of the world and all those who call it home.

It will be safe in the hands of Production I.G. and Netflix, which has brought us other legendary animated adaptations such as the visually stunning League of Legends series Arcane. It would be reasonable to anticipate that this series will be a classic Terminator tale for the ages.
