The Sarah Connor ChroniclesPremiere date: Tuesday, 6 May at 20h30
At the end of the movie Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Sarah Connor vanquished the Terminator - sent from the future to kill her 15-year-old son, John.
In The Sarah Connor Chronicles, 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.
Sarah stops running and goes on the offensive against an ever-evolving technological enemy bent on destroying her life - and perhaps the world. John knows that he may be the future savior of mankind, but he is not yet ready to take on the mantle of leadership that he's told is his destiny.
The Sarah Connor Chronicles is a reinvention of the Terminator franchise, in which the strong and intrepid Sarah discovers that protecting her son and stopping the rise of the machines is more difficult than she had ever imagined.
The lead role of Sarah Connor is played by Lena Headey and her 15 year old son John is played by Thomas Dekker (Heroes).
Summer Glau (Firefly and The 4400) plays Cameron, Richard T. Jones (NYPD Blue) plays James Ellison, Brian Austin Green (Beverley Hills 90210) plays Derek Connor and Dean Winters (Oz) plays Charlie Dixon.
