According to Variety, writer Josh Friedman will write the pilot for a Terminator series. Friedman wil also step in as executive producer-showrunner of the series, which is said to take place between the second and third Terminator films. Vajna and Kassar from c2 Pictures will serve as executive producers, with C2 senior vice president of development James Middleton also producing.

Vajna confirmed that C2 is in "the final phases of development" of a fourth Terminator film and that the series will have a link to what's being envisioned as a new feature trilogy.
"There will be a connection," Middleton said. Linda Hamilton is not expected to be involved in The Sarah Connor Chronicles nor is Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger as the series will focus on the Connor Family.
Middleton said the series will explore what happened to Sarah Connor after the end of T2, when the character went on the run. "She has the weight of the world on her shoulder and she also has to raise a 14-year-old son who may be the salvation of the world," he said.
Friedman said his "challenge is trying to figure out how to reinterpret (Connor) for television."
Friedman believes due to the alternate universe in the film he will be able to take a few plot liberties in the series. (In other words f**k it up)
"The last thing I want to do is take a title and exploit it," Friedman said. "The show needs to stand on its own while still being respectful of the franchise."
Sure thing buddy.....
Stay tuned for updates.
