A new Terminator animated series is set to debut this month, but franchise creator James Cameron isn’t involved. However, Cameron hinted that he’s working on a separate Terminator-related project, though he remains tight-lipped about the details.
In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Cameron was asked about the upcoming Netflix series ‘Terminator Zero’, which premieres on August 29. His response was brief: “It looks interesting,” he said. “My relationship to that is very much like The Sarah Connor Chronicles—other people spinning stories in a world I set in motion is interesting to me. What’s their takeaway? What intrigued them about it? Where are they going with it? It looks like they’re going back to the root cause of Judgment Day—the nuclear war—and whether that’s an ultimate timeline. I’d be curious to see what they’ve come up with. I’m working on my own Terminator stuff right now. It’s got nothing to do with that. Like with The Sarah Connor Chronicles, they occasionally touched on things I had been playing with completely independently. So there’s some curiosity there. It’s not a burning curiosity, but, obviously, it’d be nice to see it succeed.”
The reporter keyed in on Cameron stating, “I’m working on my own Terminator stuff right now. It’s got nothing to do with that” and followed up. Cameron responded, “It’s totally classified. I don’t want to have to send out a potentially dangerous robotic agent if you were to talk about it, even retroactively.”
Cameron might want to follow his own advice. In 2022, three years after ‘Terminator: Dark Fate’, he hinted at the possibility of a new film. A year later, he mentioned it again, stating he was waiting to see how the world reacted to AI before moving forward. It’s clear this is something he’s been contemplating, possibly even working on, and it will be entirely separate from the new show. For Terminator fans who feared Dark Fate was the end of the franchise, Cameron’s continued mentions give hope that there’s still a chance for more.
