The most recent issue of Entertainment Weekly has unleashed the first look at Owain Yeoman as the new incarnation of the Terminator in Fox’s upcoming television series, “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”. The series is being produced by Warner Bros. Television and C-2 Pictures.

The series will follow a post Terminator 2 Sarah Connor (300’s Lena Heady) as she and her 15 year old son John (Thomas Dekker, “Heroes”) take the offensive against the metalheaded futuristic baddies that are trying to destroy them, and ultimately take over the world.

Here is the more in-depth plot synopsis, courtesy of ComingSoon.net: “At the end of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Sarah vanquished the liquid metal Terminator sent from the future to kill her teenage son, John. Sarah and John now find themselves alone in a very dangerous, complicated world. Fugitives from the law, they are confronted with the reality that still more enemies from the future, and the present, could attack at any moment. “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” reveals what happens when Sarah (Lena Headey, 300) stops running and goes on the offensive against an ever-evolving technological enemy bent on destroying her life, and perhaps the world. Her son, 15-year-old John Connor (Thomas Dekker, “Heroes”), knows that he may be the future savior of mankind, but is not yet ready to take on the mantle of leadership that he’s told is his destiny. John finds himself inextricably drawn to Cameron (Summer Glau, “Serenity,” “The Unit”), an enigmatic and otherworldly student at his high school, who soon proves to be much more than his confidante, she assumes the role of Sarah and John’s fearless protector. On their trail are not only threats from the future, but an intelligent and tough FBI agent, James Ellison (Richard T. Jones, “Judging Amy”), who soon becomes a powerful ally.”

Coming Soon was also gracious enough to capture the image of Yeoman as the Terminator, which can be seen below.
