How does Terminator Zero lay the groundwork for Season 2?
In the finale of Terminator Zero, several major twists could set the stage for Terminator Zero Season 2. One big revelation is that Malcolm Lee is actually a resistance fighter from the future, and surprisingly, he’s also the son of Eiko. He traveled back in time to create a rival AI to Skynet. After using an early version of his tech to develop Misaki, he spent years working on Kokoro, an AI designed to challenge Skynet.
Another major twist is the reveal that Kenta Lee was the one who sent The Terminator back from the future. While we don’t get more details on this, it hints at a significant storyline that could be explored in Terminator Zero Season 2. The biggest question for Terminator Zero Season 2 will be what happens next with Kokoro. As we leave off in Season 1, Kokoro is now online and causing trouble for Skynet, leaving plenty of room for more storytelling.
Is there going to be a Season 2 of Terminator Zero?
Currently, there hasn’t been any confirmation for Terminator Zero Season 2. Netflix typically decides on renewals based on viewership numbers and total hours watched, so we might have to wait a bit longer to see if the show will get more episodes.
However, the show’s creator, Mattson Tomlin, has expressed his hopes for a second season. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he mentioned: “I always have to make it personal. It always comes back to my experience of being adopted, the Romanian Revolution, and all the things that shaped me. If I get the chance to do more seasons, the story will follow these three kids as they grow up during this war, which eventually turns into the future war. It will explore how their relationships with humans and machines change and differ from each other in dramatic ways.”
