Monica Barbaro and Arnold Schwarzenegger in 'FUBAR'
Arnold Schwarzenegger is back in action with his first lead TV series role in the upcoming Netflix series, FUBAR. The show, which premieres on May 25, is a spy‑action‑comedy drama that sees Schwarzenegger playing the role of Luke Brunner, a former CIA agent who discovers that his own daughter Emma, played by Monica Barbaro is a secret agent and has been conducting top-secret missions for the agency. The series takes inspiration from Schwarzenegger's legendary performance in the action‑comedy film True Lies, which tells the story of a secret agent who leads a double life as a family man. The similarities between these two are underscored in the trailer, as both feature a protagonist struggling to win back his ex‑wife.
Schwarzenegger's return to the action‑comedy genre has been eagerly awaited by fans who have been asking him for years when he would do another big action comedy like True Lies. Schwarzenegger promised that FUBAR will be an entertaining mix of action and humor that will keep viewers engaged beyond the usual two‑hour film format.
The trailer showcases the thrilling and exciting actions of Luke Brunner (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who is described as the fastest 65-year-old white guy on the planet. The trailer reveals that it is packed with humor, making it a perfect addition to Netflix's extensive library of action comedies.
The series also features a talented ensemble cast, including Milan Carter, Travis Van Winkle, Jay Baruchel, Andy Buckley, Aparna Brielle, Barbara Eve Harris, Fabiana Udenio, and Gabriel Luna. Established comedic talents, including Fortune Feimster, Dustin Milligan, and Tom Arnold, also feature in the series.
The mastermind behind the show's creation is Nick Santora, known for his successful television shows such as Prison Break, Scorpion, and Reacher. FUBAR is brought to us by an impressive group of executive producers, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Adam Higgs, Scott Sullivan, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Bill Bost, Holly Dale, and Phil Abraham.
In addition to his work on FUBAR, Arnold Schwarzenegger is set to release a book called "BE USEFUL: Seven Tools for Live." In this book, Schwarzenegger shares his seven rules to help readers discover their life's true purpose, based on his own life experiences. The book will be released on October 10th.
