Terminator Zero
On June 6th, Netflix announced that Timothy Olyphant was cast as one of science fiction’s most classic characters in the upcoming animated series, Terminator Zero. Olyphant will voice sci-fi’s favorite cyborg, the Terminator. Today, the streamer announced four more voice actors from the series.
Terminator Zero will be part of the Terminator universe. The series takes place in two time periods including the one that started the humans vs. machines saga. In 2022, a future war has raged for decades between the few human survivors and an endless army of machines. In 1997, the AI known as Skynet gained self-awareness and began its war against humanity.

Caught between the future and this past is a soldier sent back in time to change the fate of humanity. She arrives in 1997 to protect a scientist named Malcolm Lee who works to launch a new AI system designed to compete with Skynet’s impending attack on humanity. 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.
Terminator Zero Voice Actors and Their Characters
Rosario Dawson will play Kokoro in Terminator Zero. An advanced AI and Japan’s answer to Skynet, if brought online, Kokoro will be endowed with the same power as Skynet. Kokoro must calculate for itself: is humanity the plague Skynet believes? Or are human beings worth saving?
André Holland (Moonlight, The Knick) will play Malcolm Lee. A genius computer programmer and father of three, Malcolm Lee is haunted by prophetic nightmares of an apocalyptic future. He’s spent the last decade creating a secret artificial intelligence that he believes will be humanity’s last hope.
Sonoya Mizuno (House of the Dragon, Crazy Rich Asians) will voice Eiko. Coming from a post-Judgement Day 2022, Eiko is a resistance fighter sent back in time to stop Malcolm from launching Kokoro.

Ann Dowd (The Handmaid’s Tale, The Leftovers) as The Prophet. In the future, the Prophet is the philosophical guide for the human resistance, a light shepherding survivors in the darkness of the unknown future ahead.
Judgement Day
The eight-episode Terminator Zero series drops on August 29th which has significance in the Terminator universe. August 29, 1997, is Judgement Day – the day when “everything changes” and Cyberdyne System’s artificial intelligence network Skynet becomes aware.
Terminator Zero was created by Mattson Tomlin (Project Power, The Batman II). In addition, Tomlin will serve as showrunner and executive producer on the project. The series is also executive produced by David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger from Skydance, not to be confused with Skynet. At least, we hope.
