‘Fubar' Canceled By Netflix After 2 Seasons
EXCLUSIVE: Netflix is not proceeding with a third season of Arnold Schwarzenegger's spy action series Fubar. The decision comes about a month and a half after Season 2 launched on the platform on June 12. It follows surprisingly soft performance for the series, which, likely fueled by Schwarzenegger's global star power, had a strong series launch in May 2023 and also stars Monica Barbaro who became an Oscar nominee between Seasons 1 and 2 for A Complete Unknown. More from Deadline 7 Differences In Netflix's 'My Oxford Year' Film Vs. Julia Whelan's Book All The Songs You'll Hear In Netflix's 'My Oxford Year' Rom Com Book Adaptation Netflix Rom-Com 'Voicemails For Isabelle' Adds Nick Offerman, Lukas Gage, Harry Shum Jr., Ciara Bravo & More To Cast Returning more than two years after Season 1 dropped, Fubar barely made Netflix's Top 10 for English-language series in its first week, landing in the last spot with 2.2M views from Thursday through Sunday, down from about 11M views for the show's Season 1 premiere weekend. Season 2 peaked at #7 in its first full week with 3.3M views and logged one more #10 finish in Week 3 with 1.8M views before dropping out of the Top 10. This still is a rare Netflix cancellation of this year, joining another sophomore action drama, The Recruit, and freshmen Pulse and The Residence. The streamer has renewed close to 20 scripted shows over that period, most recently limited series Untamed for Season 2, Shane Gillis' comedy Tires for Season 3 and romantic dramas Ransom Canyon for Season 2 and Virgin River for Season 8. Fubar centers on a CIA operative (Schwarzenegger) on the verge of retirement who discovers a family secret and is forced to go back into the field for one last job. Carrie-Anne Moss joined the cast in Season 2 as Greta Nelso, a former East German spy who has a passionate history with Luke Brunner (Schwarzenegger). Season 2 also stars Milan Carter, Fortune Feimster, Travis Van Winkle, Fabiana Udenio, Aparna Brielle, Guy Burnet, Andy Buckley, Jay Baruchel, Barbara Eve Harris and Scott Thompson. Nick Santora serves as showrunner and executive produces with Schwarzenegger. Additional executive producers are Adam Higgs, Scott Sullivan, Phil Abraham, Amy Pocha, Seth Cohen and Skydance's David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Matt Thunell.

We're Finally Getting A Holiday Follow-Up After Years Of Asking. While It's Not Exactly What I Wanted, I Am Intrigued
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. For years, there has been buzz and rumors about a sequel to The Holiday as well as multiple shutdowns of said rumors. However, it would seem that the iconic rom-com is finally getting a continuation…However, it's not The Holiday 2. Instead, it's being reported that this iconic movie is being adapted into a limited series over at Apple TV+. While this isn't exactly what I wanted, I have to say, I am intrigued. The Holiday Is Being Adapted Into A TV Show At Apple TV+ The Holiday is considered not only one of the best Christmas movies but one of the best rom-coms. The tale of two single women, who are played by Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet, switching homes and falling in love in their new cities is such a cozy one that so many adore. And now, it seems like a home switch will happen again, but with all new people. It's been reported that The Holiday will be adapted into a limited series at Apple TV+, according to Deadline. Krissie Ducker, who wrote and co-executive-produced the Ella Purnell-led series Sweetpea, will be a writer and EP on this show. It will also be produced by Left Bank Pictures. Along with them, Rob Delaney has signed on as a writer as well. A casting search is reportedly already underway, and the project is looking for well-known actresses to play the leads. This makes sense considering Winslet and Diaz, as well as the actors playing their love interests, Jack Black and Jude Law, were all very well known when they were cast in the 2006 movie. If they find their leads, the series will allegedly get the green light. The downside is, reportedly, Nancy Meyers has no involvement in this new iteration of her story. Obviously, I Wanted The Holiday 2. However, This New Series Has My Attention Now, Meyers not being attached throws up a big caution flag in my mind. However, there are other elements of this new series that make me very, very excited. Specifically, Rob Delaney's involvement really intrigues me. He notably co-created, wrote, and executive-produced the acclaimed Amazon Prime series Catastrophe with Sharon Horgan. That series is about an American man and an Irish woman who hook up and wind up dealing with an accidental pregnancy. It ran for four seasons, which gives me confidence in Delaney's ability to help create a new romantic comedy. Along with that, while he's not attached to star in this Holiday adaptation, Rob Delaney is an amazing actor and romantic lead. From Catastrophe to Dying for Sex (for which he got a 2025 Emmy nomination), he's shown off his comedic, dramatic and romantic acting skills on many occasions. So, personally, I think he'd also be a fun person to actually star in this show as well. So, taking into account who is involved, consider me cautiously optimistic and intrigued when it comes to this new iteration of The Holiday. While it's no The Holiday 2, you better believe I'll be using my Apple TV+ subscription to tune in and see this new take on a beloved rom-com classic. Solve the daily Crossword
