Netflix Cancels Terminator Zero After One Season

Creator Mattson Tomlin attributes the decision to low viewership despite strong reviews.

Overview

  • Tomlin says he finished season‑two scripts, outlined much of season three, and had a five‑season roadmap for the series.
  • According to Tomlin, Netflix offered two or three additional episodes to wrap up threads, an option he declined to keep the larger story intact.
  • He is exploring ways to revisit the property in another form, including a publicly pitched lower‑budget live‑action Terminator horror approach.
  • The anime premiered in August 2024 with eight episodes produced with Production I.G. and Skydance Television and featured an English and Japanese voice cast.
  • All episodes remain available on Netflix as fans urge other platforms to consider a pickup, with no new home announced.
