It seems as if the reboot of the Terminator franchise isn’t just going to be taking place in cinemas, with the news that a fresh Terminator series will be heading to television, courtesy of Thor and X-Men: First Class’ Zack Stentz and Ashley Miller

According to reports, both the new film, out next year, and the TV series will be based on James Cameron’s original 1984 movie, rather than the entire franchise to date, charting an alternate course from a pivotal point within that film. The TV series will be executive produced by Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier, the writers of the new movie trilogy, and will tie in closely with the films, possibly in the same sort of way that Agents of SHIELD incorporated references to the recent Thor movie.

This isn’t the first TV version of Cameron’s creation, of course: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles ran for two years from 2008.
