Netflix’s hit action-comedy series FUBAR starring Arnold Schwarzenegger is back with a brand new season of thrilling chaos.
The show, which just dropped eight new episodes, follows a father-and-daughter duo, Luke and Emma Brunner, portrayed by The Terminator star and Oscar nominee Monica Barbaro.
When they discover they both secretly work for the CIA ‘their high-stakes missions get tangled up with awkward family dynamics.’
After the first season proved a smash success for the streamer in 2023 – topping the streaming charts and securing 25.57 million viewing hours in its first week – the second season was a sure bet.
‘It is bigger, it is better. There are more laughs. There is more of everything … including one more legend!’ Arnold teased about the new season, referring to The Matrix actor Carrie-Anne Moss who plays German spy Greta Nelso, who also happens to be Luke’s ex.

The second season has been hotly anticipated by fans of the show who have shared plenty of rave reviews.
‘Time, my dear friends, had no power over me while I was watching Fubar. It vanished like a sneaky ninja, as I was too engrossed in the exciting escapades that unfolded before my eyes.
‘Each episode left me thirsting for more, as the relentless thrill carried seamlessly from one installment to the next,’ Sabrina Viot wrote on Google reviews.
‘Schwarzenegger may well the best comic action star who ever graced a movie or TV screen. He carries Fubar like the champion weightlifter he once was, and does so in ways which make all the rest of the cast shine,’ David Aronofsky praised.
Michel Lu also offered plenty of glowing words to Mocia’s performance, calling her a ‘scene stealer’.
‘She not only convincingly portrays a skilled and determined agent but also a complex daughter wrestling with the realities of her unusual family life. Her on-screen chemistry with Schwarzenegger is superb, blending respect, conflict, and love in equal measure,’ they added.
The second season also sees the return of Travis Van Winkle as Aldon, Fortune Feimster as Roo, Milan Carter as Barry and Scott Thompson as Dr. Pfeffer, among other familiar faces.
This may not be everyone’s cup of tea, however, with some fans complaining of the comedy ‘falling flat’ at times, calling certain moments ‘corny’ and unrealistic, so you’ll have to give it a try to see if it is up your alley.
Speaking about what to expect from the new season, creator Nick Santora called it ‘bananas’ and the Brunner family will have ‘a million things they’re going to have to deal with.’
‘They are family, and they know the only way they are going to survive is as a family working together. And they’re going to have to do so if they don’t want the world to end as we know it!’ Santora added.
Fubar seasons one and two are available to stream on Netflix now.
