FUBAR is set to make its highly-anticipated return for its second season. Starring iconic action figure Arnold Schwarzenegger, this Netflix series marks his first-ever leading role on television. Drawing inspiration from Schwarzenegger's renowned film True Lies, FUBAR offers a more family-oriented twist as the star portrays Luke Brunner, a CIA operative who discovers that his daughter Emma (played by Monica Barbaro) is also part of the agency.
During Netflix's global fan event Tudum, Schwarzenegger graced the stage and treated the audience to a hilarious blooper reel from FUBAR's first season. However, he had an even bigger surprise in store: the official confirmation that FUBAR season 2 is already in progress. With his signature enthusiasm, Schwarzenegger declared, "You know how much I love sequels. So we are back, baby, we are back!"
FUBAR Could Become Arnold's Most Popular Action Franchise In Some Time
FUBAR has the potential to become a major action franchise, just like Schwarzenegger's other projects. In fact, it is currently generating more buzz than some of his recent sequels. After dominating the Netflix English-language TV chart for two weeks, it was only surpassed by the popularity of Manifest season 4 and Never Have I Ever season 4.
The success of FUBAR has brought Arnold a well-deserved victory, following the negative reception of Terminator: Genisys and the mediocre performance of Terminator: Dark Fate at the box office. While it is uncertain how long the series will continue on Netflix, the initial viewership numbers suggest that transitioning to television was a strategic decision that has allowed the action hero to discover his latest, popular franchise.
