The teaser of American actor and film producer Arnold Schwarzenegger’s maiden series Fubar was released by the makers on social media on Monday. The series will premiere on Netflix on May 25.
“Everywhere I go, people ask me when I’m going to do another big action comedy like True Lies. Well, here it is. Fubar will kick your ass and make you laugh — and not just for two hours. You get a whole season,” Arnold was quoted as saying by a Variety report.
As per Netflix, Fubar will revolve around a CIA operative who is on the verge of retirement, discovers a family secret and is forced back into the field for one last job. The action comedy series will have eight episodes and touch upon family relationships, action, and comedy.
Apart from Arnold, the series will also feature Monica Barbaro, Jay Baruchel, Fortune Feimster, Milan Carter, Travis Van Winkle, Gabriel Luna, Andy Buckley, Aparna Brielle, Barbara Eve Harris and Fabiana Udenio.
The show is created by Nick Santora, who will also executive produce alongside Arnold.
“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,” Nick said.
Arnold is back — and starring in his first TV series ever: FUBAR!
