Netflix has shared the first look at itsnew anime series based in the Terminator universe, and it looks stunning.

Terminator Zero is created and executive produced by Mattson Tomlin (who’ll soon be co-writing The Batman 2) and is set in the world of James Cameron’s franchise. However, instead of following familiar faces, the series brings new characters into the world.

“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,” the synopsis teases. It’s directed by Masashi Kudo, who is best known for his work on Bleach, and produced by animation studio Production IG and Skydance Animation.

Take a look at the first-look images below, which draw heavily from inspiration from the original Terminator movies as well as Production IG’s past work on Ghost in the Shell and Haikyu!!
