Mattson Tomlin, showrunner for Netflix`s anime series Terminator Zero, says the series attracted top voice talent like Timothy Olyphant and Rosario Dawson due to its engaging post-apocalyptic narrative.

The show explores two timelines in Japan: the rise of Skynet in 1997 andthe remnants of human resistance in 2022.

He believes animation allow for a richer, more complex story while managing budget constraints. The series aims to honour the franchise`s legacy while exploring new thematic grounds.
