Netflix just dropped an explosive new trailer for Arnold Schwarzenegger's hit action-comedy show — and it's returning soon
Fast forward two years, and he's 'back' to do it all over again in 'FUBAR' season 2. And if you want a taste of what's in store in this (as creator Nick Santora puts it) 'bananas' second chapter, you're in luck: Netflix just dropped a trailer for the show's sophomore season. You can find it below:
Above all else, the big takeaway here is the addition of 'Matrix' star Carrie-Anne Moss. She's boarded the show as one of Brunner's former flames, East German spy, Greta Nelso.
Her arrival certainly spells trouble — Greta quite literally promises that she and her associate, ex-MI6 agent Theodore Chips (Guy Burnet) are going to 'destroy the world,' after all — and she looks like an incredibly capable (and dangerous!) addition to the show.
Elsewhere, the 'FUBAR' season 2 trailer is an explosive mix of all-out action and comedy, boasting plenty of shootouts, Arnie popping out of a tank, deadly hand-to-hand brawls, and bizarrely, more than one dance routine.
The gags aren't exactly high-brow, and the gags are kinda one-note, but it nevertheless looks like a fresh dose of chaos for its fans. And with Schwarzenegger himself telling Tudum season 2 'it is bigger, it is better' and promising there's 'more of everything' coming along, it sounds like fans are going to want to binge it ASAP.
Excited for 'FUBAR' season 2? Well, you don't have long to wait: 'FUBAR' season 2 starts streaming exclusively on Netflix from Thursday, June 12.

Netflix has already shared a 'FUBAR' season 2 synopsis, though it doesn't give much more away than the trailer above. It reads: 'Luke Brunner is a veteran CIA operative who, up until recently, was on the verge of retirement. After his last mission in saving another operative - who just so happened to be his daughter - he's back and face to face with new villains. This one is an old flame from Luke's past who threatens to destroy the world… if she doesn't destroy his life first.'
In addition to Schwarzenegger you can see that the 'FUBAR' season 1 gang's all here; returning cast also includes Monica Barbaro, Travis Van Winkle, Fortune Feimster, Milan Carter, Scott Thompson, Fabiana Udenio, Andy Buckley, Jay Baruchel, Adam Pally, Tom Arnold, Aparna Briell and Barbara Eve Harris.

'Stranger Things: First Shadow' stars focus on humanity amid horror
1 of 3 | The stars of Broadway's "Stranger Things: The First Shadow" pose on the red carpet near Times Square on April 22. Left to right, Juan Carlos, playing Bob Newby, Alison Jaye, playing Joyce Maldonado, Burke Swanson, playing James Hopper, Jr., Louis McCartney, playing Henry Creel, and Gabrielle Neveah Green, playing Patty Newby. File Photo by Angelina Katsanis/UPI | License Photo NEW YORK, July 27 (UPI) -- Burke Swanson and Alison Jaye say they focused on the humanity even more than the horror when playing teen versions of Hopper and Joyce in Broadway's blockbuster Stranger Things prequel, The First Shadow. Penned by Kate Trefry and directed by Stephen Daldry, the supernatural stage play takes place in the 1950s, in the fictional town of Hawkins, Ind., and offers origins stories for the beloved grown-ups -- and terrifying uber-villain Vecna/Henry Creel -- from the 1980s-set Netflix TV show. "Within the spooky, sci-fi nature of it all, there are real humans trying to figure themselves out and figure out what their community's like," Swanson told UPI in a recent Zoom interview. Even before Henry (Louis McCartney) arrives and unwittingly turns the town upside-down, Hopper and his classmates Bob Newby (Patrick Scott McDermott) and his adopted sister Patty (Gabrielle Nevaeh) are dealing with parent-related tension and trauma. "What was so special to me is that it wasn't shying away from those stories," Swanson said. "It's a big thing that we're doing here. There's a lot to tell and it almost doesn't fit within one show, but there's a willingness to explore not only the father-kid relationships, but the mother-kid relationships and how each different dynamic is processed." Patty's outsider status leads her into danger because the only person she feels connected to is Henry. "Patty has really been pushed to the side, not only within the community, but also within her family," Swanson said. "Bob did not support Patty in a way that she needed and she comes into her own as this really incredible, strong female lead," he added. "He gets this really powerful moment just to acknowledge, 'I messed up and i want to do better.' And I think those moments -- even within the sort of 'Mind Flayer' of it all -- are the things that really push us forward through that story." As for Hopper, he is leaning into his "bad-boy mentality" when the audience first meets him, but he matures a bit throughout the play as he tries to help his friends and neighbors, Swanson noted. "In classic Hopper fashion, he's got a really sentimental heart," Swanson added. "What continues to be learned in this show is the power of community and the power of friendship and Hopper believes that he will be better off alone. His relationship with his father is not good. There's no communication there and I think what we see is the glimpse of the hope of who Hopper can become when he chooses community." Just as the Netflix series is famous for tapping into the nostalgia of the 1980s, the stage production perfectly re-imagines Middle America in the 1950s. "It's been a blast getting to dive into the music, into the aesthetics and costumes. We really got to emphasize the color, the dynamic of that time period, visually," Swanson said. "What's really, really fascinating about the '50s -- and this has been touched on by many different art forms -- is what happens when that facade begins to crack because the sleepy little town of Hawkins, Indiana seems to have begun to experience some very spooky things much earlier than we thought." Hopper may be decades away from becoming the sheriff who will date single mom Joyce, but the two do know each other quite well at this point, even if they don't travel in the same social circles until they team up to solve the mystery surrounding Henry. While Hopper is a loner, teen Joyce is a bubbly theater kid obsessed with directing the school play. "With this version of Joyce, there is a real questioning and push and pull of, 'Is this the life I'm going to choose? Or am I going to be able to get out of here and escape and become something bigger than this town?'" Jaye said. The actress loves that -- even though the play has spectacular special effects -- the characters live in a low-tech era guided by their instincts and moral compasses as opposed to cell phones or computers. "These kids don't have that. All they're leaning on is each other. If we're talking about the trio of Bob, Joyce and Jim [Hopper], we wake up every day and just knock on each other's doors and continue investigating, just like we kind of see [kid characters do] on the TV show," Jaye said. "There's that buoyancy and that fervor, that rigor to: 'We've got to dig. We've got to solve this problem.' They put all that energy on each other, instead of on technology, and connect that way, which is, I feel like, a big difference between what we're living in now." Although many fans of the Netflix series have been rooting for grownup Hopper (David Harbour) and Joyce (Winona Ryder) to hook up for years, others cheered when Joyce finally seemed to have a brief but stable romance with nice-guy Bob (Sean Astin) before he was attacked by Demodogs while protecting Joyce and her sons. Teen Bob is shy, earnest and clearly in love with Joyce. "When I watch the series, that was immediately one of my favorite characters who, unfortunately, didn't last that long. But he provides such a grounded sense of being," Jaye said about Bob. "They are so different, but, yet, it is the softness of Bob that softens Joyce. I feel like we do get to see that and celebrate that in the early moments of the show together." Jaye said she has been overwhelmed by support from fans who get a kick out of learning more about their favorite TV character by watching the play. "People of all ages have been like: 'Oh, my gosh! Of course, Joyce is a theater kid! How did I not put that together?' There's no nod to that in the series at all, but Kate created this back story for her," Jaye explained. "There's a nerdy tenderness and, also, a major headstrong authority to her that somehow makes it all make sense to me perfectly."

Adam Sandler Pays Tribute To Late Co-Star With Subtle Easter Egg In ‘Happy Gilmore 2'
Adam Sandler paid tribute to his former on-screen son, the late Cameron Boyce, in his new movie 'Happy Gilmore 2' six years after Boyce died. After the comedy sequel released on Netflix Friday, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Boyce, who starred as Sandler's son in 'Grown Ups,' appeared on a TV in the background of one scene. The footage playing on the TV during the scene was seemingly from an episode of Disney Channel's 'Jessie,' which Boyce starred in from 2011 to 2015. Boyce died in his sleep at age 20 in 2019, according to a statement from his family. An autopsy later revealed that the young actor died as a result of an ongoing epileptic condition. Social media users on X, formerly Twitter, gushed over Sandler's touching easter egg dedicated to the late Disney star. Reps for Sandler and Netflix didn't immediately respond to HuffPost's requests for comment. Sandler also honored Boyce in the 2020 Netflix comedy 'Hubie Halloween.' Boyce was set to star in the film before he died. 'In loving memory of CAMERON BOYCE,' the on-screen tribute shown during the film's credits read alongside a photo of Boyce. 'Gone way too soon and one of the kindest, coolest, funniest, and most talented kids we knew. You live on forever in our hearts and are truly missed every day.' Following Boyce's death in 2019, Sandler reportedly remembered the young actor as 'the nicest, most talented, and most decent kid around' in a post on X. 'Loved that kid. Cared so much about his family. Cared so much about the world,' the director added. 'Thank you, Cameron, for all you gave to us. So much more was on the way. All our hearts are broken. Thinking of your amazing family and sending our deepest condolences.' Related...
