The Terminator is heading for the small screen - in a sci-fi spin-off entitled "The Sarah Connor Chronicles." The series - developed by FOX - is inspired by the 1991 movie Terminator 2: Judgement Day, which saw Arnold Schwarzenegger star as a cyborg sent back from the future to kill the young John Connor, played by Edward Furlong.

"The Sarah Connor Chronicles" follows the title character (played by Lena Headey) fighting to protect herself and her 10-year-old son John, from a new breed of robotic enemies.

The announcement of the new TV spin-off follows the news last week that California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will appear in digital form in a fourth installment of the Terminator movies.
