Netflix has released a brand-new trailer and poster for their upcoming action-comedy series FUBAR starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The new eight-episode series will be Schwarzenegger’s first-ever television project and is set to premiere on the streaming service on May 25, 2023.
The story of FUBAR follows Schwarzenegger and Monica Barbaro as a father and daughter duo that learn that unbeknownst to each other, are CIA agents and their entire relationship with each other has been built on a lie. The revelation comes when the two are on a mission to find a WMD. The two must learn to work together, but the familiar family dynamics don’t exactly fit in a warzone. Together, they will learn to bond as they try to save the world.
The new trailer sees Schwarzenegger closing out his life as a CIA agent and retiring as he hopes to live a normal life as he tries to be part of his daughter’s life and reunite with his divorced wife. Not long after his retirement, however, he is brought in to do one more job: Rescue an agent codenamed Panda and retrieve a WMD. Everything seems normal until he finds out this “Panda” is his daughter. From here, the trailer delves into the blend of comedy and action that the series is going for as Barbaro and Schwarzenegger as they both show off their combat skills while the father is clearly overprotective of his daughter and leads to moments of parental instinct showing up in places that you wouldn’t expect like, for example, a firefight.
