“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. It’s been a joy to work with Nick [Santora], Skydance, and Netflix to give my fans exactly what they’ve been waiting for.”
Creator, showrunner & executive producer Santora added, “’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 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.”
