We Need Arnold Schwarzenegger's Fubar Season 2 Asap

The following story contains spoilers for FUBAR Season 1 on Netflix.

THIS YEAR has already been a big year for spies and espionage on TV. We aren't even halfway through the 2023, and already we've seen The Night Agent and The Diplomat on Netflix, Rabbit Hole on Paramount+, and the mega-budgeted Citadel on Prime Video. Netflix's latest entry in this expansive field is FUBAR, an action/comedy that may not have a $300 million budget, but has something those other shows could only dream of: Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The 75-year-old movie icon leads FUBAR as super spy Luke Brunner to what it works absolutely best as: a True Lies-esque story that jumps from thrills to jokes and is never boring for even a minute. Schwarzenegger is cracking jokes just as often as he's kicking ass, and just as it worked throughout his career (and especially in the James Cameron-directed True Lies), it works here. FUBAR is a fun show that audiences will likely binge in only a handful of sittings at the most and not regret their choice one bit.

It also helps that FUBAR is filled with a number of faces that viewers will likely recognize from other popular watches. Much of FUBAR centers on Luke's relationship with his daughter, Emma, played by Top Gun: Maverick star Monica Barbaro. Her boyfriend, Carter, is played by Judd Apatow favorite Jay Baruchel, while Boro, the show's resident villain/crime lord is played by Schwarzenegger's Terminator: Dark Fate co-star Gabriel Luna (who audiences recently saw as Tommy in HBO's hit The Last of Us). They're all joined by Travis Van Winkle (from Netflix's You), Aparna Brielle (from Peacock's AP Bio), and Fortune Feimster (stand-up comedian) as Arnold's spy coworkers. In general, it's a fun time with a fun group of characters.

But when you're done making your way through the action and the laughs, there's going to be one more question: will FUBAR be back ASAP? Or is this show going to go MIA?

Will there be a Season 2 of FUBAR?

Netflix

We don't know for sure whether there will be a Season 2 of FUBAR just yet, but given the way Season 1 of the show ends (with a cliffhanger) and with the streamer's seemingly overwhelmingly positive relationship with Mr. Schwarzenegger—it also has a three-part documentary on his life coming out, and prominently featured him in a new marketing video—it seems very likely that the show will return for another go-around.

That said, it will always ultimately depend on the audience turning out. FUBAR seems likely to be liked, watched, and embraced by audiences, but stranger things have happened in the past. We will have to wait and see.

When could we expect Season 2 of FUBAR to come out?

Netflix

Filming for Season 1 of FUBAR began in April 2022, in time for the show to be released in May 2023. So by that logic, if the show is a hit and gets a relatively quick season 2 pickup, we could expect to see Season 2 on Netflix about a year and change later.

Fall 2024 may be the optimistic timing for FUBAR Season 2.
