When's Terminator: Dark Fate's UK release date?

The film is set to be released in the UK on October 25,  2019.

Production on the sixth instalment only got underway in June 2018 and wrapped up in November of the same year.

Images from set at the time showed that the cast have remained as thick as thieves despite the 30-year gap in filming.

Though the cast and crew have remained tight-lipped on the plot of the latest instalment , creator and executive producer James Cameron did let slip:

"This is a continuation of the story from Terminator 1 and Terminator 2.

"And we're pretending the other films were a bad dream.

"Or an alternate timeline, which is permissible in our multi-verse."

What's Dark Fate about?

The Dark Fate plot will follow on from the original 1984 movie and its 1991 sequel— which means you can say “hasta la vista, baby” to the events of the other three films in 2003, 2009 and 2015 - which didn't star Linda Hamilton.

Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox have detailed the premise as follows:

"More than two decades after the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) sets out to protect a young woman named Dani Ramos (Natalia Reyes) and her friends as a liquid metal Terminator, Rev 9 (Gabriel Luna), sent from the future attempts to terminate them."
