Netflix has unwrapped the first trailer for the second season of “FUBAR,” confirming that Arnold Schwarzenegger’s father-daughter spy caper will be back on 12 June, perfectly timed for Father’s Day weekend. Creator Nick Santora promises a “bananas” eight-episode ride, while Schwarzenegger teases that the new run is “bigger…better…[with] more laughs” and at least one surprise legend joining the fray.
Early footage shows the 76-year-old star breaking into a ballroom twirl before dropping a cheeky Terminator-style wink—an Easter-egg that set social media alight. Not all the pre-release chatter was flattering: a glossy advance poster went viral when fans noticed co-star Carrie-Anne Moss’s gun arm bent in impossible ways, prompting cries of “hire a new designer” beneath Netflix’s own Instagram post.
Moss enters the series as Greta Nelso, a former East-German agent and “old flame” of Luke Brunner. “I watched the show and laughed so hard…working with Arnold sounded really, really fun,” she said of accepting the role. Familiar faces Monica Barbaro, Fortune Feimster, Milan Carter and the rest of Brunner’s motley CIA unit also return for what Santora calls a chance to “sit back and watch [action legends] do their thing.”
The production has leaned into supersized spectacle: last summer the team erected a 22.14-foot Luke Brunner action figure on set, a Guinness World Record that Schwarzenegger gleefully shared in a behind-the-scenes video. Filming wrapped in Toronto on 30 August 2024 after a four-month shoot.
Season 1 topped Nielsen’s streaming chart the week it dropped in May 2023 despite a lukewarm 51 percent Rotten Tomatoes score, convincing Netflix to order a second round within weeks. Whether “FUBAR” can repeat that feat—and silence the poster critics—will be clearer when Luke and Emma Brunner undertake their next covert mission in June.
