Netflix’s ‘FUBAR’ Puts Arnold Schwarzenegger Back in Action… Comedy
In FUBAR heroes don’t retire; they reload. Arnold Schwarzenegger returns to action comedy next month on Netflix.
A tale of spies from one of the creative minds behind Reacher and Prison Break. Luke Brunner (Schwarzenegger), a CIA operative nearing retirement, discovers a family secret – his daughter is also an agent. He’s forced to go back into the field for one last mission. FUBAR tackles universal family dynamics set against a global backdrop of spies, action, and humor. Everything is top secret, except for that ice pack he’s gonna need.
If you’ve missed Arnold’s action comedies, you’ll want to add the series to your watch list. The actor had a great time making it – stating, “FUBAR will kick your ass and make you laugh — and not just for two hours. You get a whole season.”
Netflix’s FUBAR will be Schwarzenegger’s first tv show. Nick Santora, creator and showrunner, has been dreaming of this team-up for ages.
“‘FUBAR is, by far, the most surreal project of my career. I grew up watching Arnold Schwarzenegger films — I’d hit my dad up for a few bucks so I could race to the movies and see the biggest star in the world on the big screen — so creating the first scripted television project for Arnold is unbelievably exciting for me. The thing I always marveled at was how Schwarzenegger could be funny while still kicking ass … that’s why I wanted FUBAR to be a hysterical, CIA-spy comedy mixed with heart-stopping action! And it is all that – and more.”
