At Netflix’s recent Geeked Week event, the streamer announced that there will be a new addition to their platform. Although there was no given release date or other information, plans for Terminator: The Anime Series were unveiled. They also dropped a teaser to show audiences what they could expect from the series. While most would have shied away from taking on a franchise so huge, the streaming giant had no such qualms.

The series would be based on Arnold Schwarzenegger’s The Terminator, which came out back in 1984. The story is said to follow a war between humans and an endless army of machines and is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. While it may be daunting to take up such a popular franchise, Netflix has proved that it can handle the pressure after taking on Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece.

In recent years, many stars have been teaming up with Netflix for a show or film of their own. Thankfully, the 76-year-old Arnold Schwarzenegger was one of them. Earlier this year, the actor stunned the world with FUBAR where we intertwined comedy and action to give fans a family-friendly drama series. While not much was expected from the series at first, watching it changed everyone’s minds.

With one epic hit series out already, fans are hoping that the upcoming anime series will also be up to the same standard. However, with no details on when the film will come out and a brief outline of the plot, there is no saying what fans could potentially end up with, but one thing is for sure. If the series follows the lines of the original film, it will leave viewers in a pool of nostalgia.
