Netflix cancels Arnold Schwarzenegger's Fubar following underwhelming Season 2 viewership despite star power

Arnold Schwarzenegger's spy action series 'Fubar' will not be returning for a third season on Netflix, the streamer confirmed, a little over a month after Season 2 debuted on June 12. The decision comes after what was described as a surprisingly soft return for the show. Though the first season launched with significant buzz in May 2023—buoyed by Schwarzenegger's global popularity—its second season failed to capture similar momentum. Monica Barbaro, who co-stars as Schwarzenegger's on-screen daughter Emma and became an Oscar nominee in between seasons for 'A Complete Unknown', also returned for Season 2. Season 2, released more than two years after Season 1, managed only a brief appearance in Netflix's English-language Top 10. During its launch weekend, the show earned 2.2 million views, a steep drop from the 11 million views that greeted its premiere season. It peaked at #7 in its first full week with 3.3 million views and barely held onto the #10 spot in Week 3 with 1.8 million, before vanishing from the rankings. The story of 'Fubar' centres on CIA operative Luke Brunner (Schwarzenegger) and his daughter Emma (Barbaro), who each lead double lives while unknowingly working for the same agency. Luke Brunner and his daughter Emma have lied to each other for years, with neither of them knowing that the other is a CIA operative.' The cancellation places 'Fubar' among a short list of Netflix originals dropped in 2025, including 'The Recruit', 'Pulse', and 'The Residence'. Nevertheless, the platform has renewed around 20 scripted series this year alone, with recent greenlights for 'Untamed' Season 2, 'Tires' Season 3, 'Ransom Canyon' Season 2, and 'Virgin River' Season 8.

Kathir Interview: I don't want audience to be prejudiced against my films

They say you can only do a thing for the first time once, and Kathir had his acting debut with Madha Yaanai Koottam in 2013. 12 years later, he is back to doing the same thing for the first time, again. Meesha, his maiden Malayalam film, hit screens on August 1, and the actor is a bundle of nerves. This might sound strange as we are talking about someone who has proved his acting credentials, courtesy of his performances in Pariyerum Perumal, Vikram Vedha, and Suzhal. Still, Kathir believes every film is a new chapter and every role a new opportunity to redefine himself. Excited and nervous about his Malayalam entry, Kathir calls it a chance to reinvent and experience the magic of a 'first time' all over again. Excerpts:
