Humanity battles Skynet in the new trailer for Terminator Zero, the upcoming anime series for Netflix.

In 1997, Skynet rose to power, beginning the all-out war between man and machine. That same year, scientist Malcolm Lee (André Holland) believed the answer to saving humanity was an AI system called Kokoro (Rosario Dawson). Developed by Malcolm, Kokoro is Japan’s answer to Skynet, and if brought online, it will calculate if human beings are worth saving.

The resistance counters with Eiko (Sonoya Mizuno), a soldier sent from the future to stop Malcolm from launching Kokoro and protect his family from the Terminator.
