Netflix introduces new series titled "Fubar" - Netflix discontinues its association with Fubar.
In an unexpected turn of events, Arnold Schwarzenegger's Netflix series "Fubar" will not be returning for a third season. The announcement comes after the second season, which premiered on June 12, 2025, failed to recapture the success and appeal of the debut season, leading Netflix to cancel the show after two seasons [1][2].
The action-packed series, which features Schwarzenegger as CIA veteran Luke Brunner, saw the character returning to business after a mission and facing new villains. The plot revolves around Brunner's attempt to rescue his daughter from a dangerous mission [3].
The second season of "Fubar" started strong, making it into the middle of the top 10 of English-language Netflix series in the week after the premiere. However, it soon dropped out of the top 10 again, indicating a decline in viewership [4].
Despite the drop in viewership, Schwarzenegger's star power significantly contributed to the success of "Fubar" [5]. The series also featured a talented cast, including Monica Barbaro, Milan Carter, Fortune Feimster, and Travis Van Winkle [6].
The second season of "Fubar" received mixed reviews, with some critics praising Schwarzenegger's performance while others found the plot predictable [7]. Despite the mixed reviews, Schwarzenegger announced at the "Tudum" event 2023 that the second season would continue [8].
However, the low viewer numbers and the subsequent cancellation of the series have put a halt to the continuation of the show. The news was reported by the US industry magazine "Variety" [9]. Nick Santora, who wrote, served as showrunner, and was an executive producer for "Fubar", is yet to announce plans for future projects.
It's worth noting that the first season of "Fubar" was a hit for Netflix in 2023, setting high expectations for the second season [10]. Fans of the series will undoubtedly be disappointed by the cancellation, but the end of "Fubar" marks the end of an exciting chapter in Schwarzenegger's acting career.
