Fubar trailer
The trailer for FUBAR is out not, and can be viewed below…
Here’s what showrunner and executive producer Nick Santora told Netflix about the show: “FUBAR is, by far, the most surreal project of my career. I grew up watching Arnold Schwarzenegger films – I’d hit my dad up for a few bucks so I could race to the movies and see the biggest star in the world on the big screen – so creating the first scripted television project for Arnold is unbelievably exciting for me.
“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.”
FUBAR plot – What’s it about?
The official synopsis for the forthcoming series is as follows…
When a father and daughter learn that they’ve each secretly been working as CIA Operatives for years, they realize their entire relationship has been a lie and they truly don’t know one another at all. Forced to team up as partners, FUBAR tackles universal family dynamics set against a global backdrop of spies, fantastic action and humor.
While Arnie had this to say about the tone/genre: “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 be streaming on Netflix from May 25, 2023, while you can check out more preview hubs below…
