Just weeks after production wrapped on
Paramount's Terminator Genisys , the studio has
announced release dates for two untitled
sequels.
The first follow-up will hit theaters on May 19,
2017, while the second will debut on June 29,
2018. The first sequel currently has the release
date all to itself, while the third movie will be
going up against an untitled animated project
from 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios.
It seems likely that Paramount will shoot both
sequels back-to-back, with the release dates
just over one year apart, but that hasn't been
confirmed at this time. The news of two sequels
isn't terribly surprising, though, since Paramount
announced in June 2013 that Terminator
Genisys will be the first in a new trilogy.
Production companies Annapurna Pictures and
Skydance Productions also announced in
December that they are developing a TV series
tie-in, that will be spawned from a critical
moment in the 1984 original classic The
Terminator , taking the franchise in a completely
different direction than the movies before it. The
plot of Terminator Genisys and its sequels are
being designed to intersect with the show.
It remains to be seen if Terminator Genisys
director Alan Taylor will be back to direct these
follow-ups, or which cast members from the
sci-fi action-thriller will be back for the sequels.
