Tomlin said, “When you get hired to make a TV show, the people putting lots of money into it are always going to go, ‘Do you know where you’re going?’ What I’ll say is that, right now, it’s just this [season]. People have to show up, they’ve got to watch the first season and hopefully those numbers will grant me an opportunity to keep on going.”
“I would love to go five or six seasons,” Tomlin continued. “I have a story because, you know, one of the questions that you have to ask yourself when you’re doing something that was live-action as an animated project is ‘Why does this have to be animated?’ And for me, part of that answer was telling a generational story.”
Tomlin emphasized the central role of Malcolm Lee and his three children in the narrative. He expressed a keen interest in witnessing their growth and development throughout the war, culminating in a satisfying conclusion. The showrunner concluded that this approach to storytelling is unique within the franchise and his desired execution.
Moreover, Tomlin revealed that he has a clear vision for the series’ finale, regardless of its overall length. With this, we can imply that he is keen to explore Season 2 of Terminator Zero. However, its renewal will depend on its performance and viewership after the release of its first season.
All eight episodes of Terminator: Zero will debut on August 29, 2024, on Netflix.
