Well, this is interesting - FOX has ordered a new pilot based on the Terminator franchise. Titled “The Sarah Conner Chronicles,” the show will follow the titular character and her 14 year old son, Jack, in the wake of the events from T2. It’s got a pretty good chance at succeeding too - pilot director David Nutter’s seen his last 12 pilots get turned into series.

As outlined in Friedman’s script, new installment in the “Terminator” franchise revolves around robo-warrior Connor and her savior son, John Connor. C2 senior veepee of development James Middleton, who’s a producer on the project, said last fall that “Connor” 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 shoulders, and she also has to raise a 14-year-old son who may be the salvation of the world,” he said.

Original “Terminator” stars Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger won’t be involved in the new project, Nutter said.
