    With Terminator 3, the first distinct trilogy was concluded within the Terminator saga.

    Six years later, The Halcyon Company released Terminator Salvation, the start of the next trilogy. And with The Halcyon Company's bankruptcy, those plans were ended. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles displayed similar struggle in counting to three.

    Another six years later, Terminator Genisys was released. And it was to be the start of a trilogy. But after its cold reception, plans for its sequels were cancelled, and the studio began work collaborating with James Cameron, getting their feet in the door before the franchise rights reverted back to him once and for all.

    In 2019, Terminator: Dark Fate released as a direct sequel to T2, and as the start of an intended final trilogy for the Terminator saga. And following its low box office returns, all sequel plans were cancelled. Dark Fate marked the end of the second trilogy. The trilogy of failed trilogies.

      Editing … It wouldn't have been the final trilogy anyway. Not in a million years. They always say shit like that in advance but never pull through with it.

      Editing … Well since Cameron owns the franchise now, no studio can decide to continue the series just for cash. Only he can, and as a creator he'd probably be ready to move on. To make stuff like uh, another Avatar. But now Terminator still has no proper finale, and I want a good closing...

      Editing … (of course someday the franchise will be public domain, and then we can have as many trilogies as anybody's willing to make)

      Editing … If James Cameron is smart he will try to swat two flies with one shoe and make Terminator vs. Avatar.
