Julia MacCary editor Arnold Schwarzenegger is back. Netflix has released the first teaser trailer for the “Terminator” star’s upcoming action-comedy series, titled “Fubar.” “Everywhere I go, people ask me when I’m going to do another big action comedy like ‘True Lies.’ Well, here it is,” Schwarzenegger said in a statement. “‘Fubar’ will kick your ass and make you laugh — and not just for two hours. You get a whole season.” “Fubar” will show what happens when a father and daughter discover their entire relationship was built on a lie and that they are each CIA operatives.

Lorcan will not leave their farm until they complete all 100 items on their mother’s bucket list.

The film depicts the brothers’ respective responses to death: “You’ve got this one character who is coping with this in a very emotionally open way, and then you’ve got his brother who is a bit more of a typical masculine response,” says White.
