Netflix has released the full trailer for “Fubar,” an irreverent action-comedy series marking action veteran Arnold Schwarzenegger’s first TV series regular role.
Hailing from “Reacher” and “Scorpion” creator Nick Santora, the series follows a CIA operative (Schwarzenegger) on the verge of retirement when he discovers a family secret – turns out his entire relationship with his daughter was built on a lie as she is a CIA operative as well. The two soon join forces when he’s forced to go back into the field for one last job.
The cast includes Monica Barbaro, Jay Baruchel, Fortune Feimster, Milan Carter, Travis Van Winkle, Gabriel Luna, Andy Buckley, Aparna Brielle, Barbara Eve Harris and Fabiana Udenio.
Santora said in a statement a few months ago: “FUBAR is, by far, the most surreal project of my career. The thing I always marvelled 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. I’d love to elaborate with more details, but, sorry, it’s classified.”
The eight-episode series has set a May 25th launch and Schwarzenegger serves as executive producer alongside creator and showrunner Santora for Skydance Television.
