Arnold Schwarzenegger dealt shock blow as his Netflix show is CANCELLED just days after his 78th birthday
The show, in which he starred alongside Monica Barbaro and Fortune Feimster, was the actor's — who recently celebrated his 78th birthday — first foray into television.
According to Deadline, the series was dropped by the streamer amid a drop in viewership following its June 12 season two premiere.
The first season debuted in May 2023 and saw 11 million views in its premiere weekend, while the second installment had only 2.2 million in the same time frame.
Schwarzenegger announced that he would be starring in Fubar in 2021.
At the time he said: 'Fans from all over the world have been asking me for a wild ride like this for years, and now they're finally going to get it because of our great partners at Skydance and Netflix.
I am beyond pumped to start work on the show with [creator] Nick [Santora] and Monica and the whole team.'
The spy drama featured Schwarzenegger as Luke, a CIA Operative who uncovers a family secret just before he plans to retire.
Barbaro starred as his daughter as he returns to work to complete one final job.
It also starred Milan Carter, Gabriel Luna, Travis Van Winkle, and Jay Baruchel among others.
In addition to creator, Nick Santora was showrunner and executive producer, alongside Schwarzenegger.
Last August the show was accused of plagiarism.
A major plot point in the action series revolved around a supermarket app invented by Schwarzenegger's character's son.
But entrepreneur and former rock star Aharon Jason Curtis claimed in legal letters obtained by DailyMail.com that he came up with the idea for the app, called Aisle, in 2015.
The app tells users where grocery store items are located, plots a route through the store, reminds users of items they forgot, and allows them to scan bar codes.
Curtis, 55, said he only told two people: his manager at the time, who 'now works as a writer specializing in scripts for action films and streaming series,' and a friend 'who is now a writer working at Netflix in Los Angeles.'
He said he was 'shocked' when he turned on the TV in September 2023 and saw his app idea featured in Fubar.
'Mr. Curtis is prepared to forego litigation and provide a full release for a payment of $1.5 million,' his lawyer's letter said. 'If we don't hear from you, we intend to promptly commence a court action to vindicate Mr. Curtis' rights.'

Robbie Williams 'splashes out on £30MILLION waterfront mansion in Miami which boasts seven bedrooms, an 18-car garage, wine cellar and its own dock'
Robbie Williams has reportedly splashed out on a new £30 million waterfront mansion in Miami. The singer, 51, and his wife Ayda Field will soon be moving into the sprawling US property, according to The New York Post. The lavish home boasts seven bedrooms, an 18-car garage, wine cellar and its own dock directly onto the water. In addition to the £30 million price tag he reportedly spent another £4 million on furniture, adjustments and building renovations to make it the perfect family home. It comes after last May he sold his LA mansion for £51.6 million ($65M) - making a handsome £12.3million in just over two years. He hired Miami property developer Manny Angelo Varas to extend and perfect the home. He told the publication: 'We're doing a ground-up build. He'll be relocating immediately to the existing home, and we're going to be doing new construction, adding between 2,500 and 3,500 square feet. 'We're creating functional spaces that could be used as a recording studio and multiple different functions. 'So he's able to work from home when he's not on tour.' There are also reportedly plans for a floating padel court, which would be the first of its kind for a US home. Robbie bought his new home from Real Housewives of Miami star Dr Nicole Martin and husband Anthony Lopez. Robbie sold his LA home last year. The sale meant the British singer looked to be cutting ties with Hollywood for good after owning a place there for 18 years. He purchased the huge property, which sits on 1.95 acres, in uber-rich Holmby Hills for £39.3million in March 2022. The three-house estate featured eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, pool and tennis court, plus an impressive garage that holds 15 luxury cars, all spanning over 18,900 sq ft. Dubbed the 'Funny Girl' Estate, the property was originally constructed in 1938 for the renowned comedian Fanny Brice. She was famously played by Barbara Streisand in a Broadway musical based on her life The starlet, whose life is the subject of semi-biographical musical Funny Girl, lived at the Faring Estate until she died in 1951. Robbie has now sold four properties in the last two years, with his only other remaining asset being his £17.5million Kensington, London home. According to documents, the new owner is Lapro Property Trust, which is a Sydney-based entity associated with Aussie billionaire Nick Molnar, who co-founded Afterpay. Molnar previously purchased Matthew Perry's Century City penthouse for £16.6M in 2021 - and sold it to Rihanna two years later. Robbie seems in a big hurry to get rid of his properties. In 2022 he even revealed he had nowhere to live after selling his home in Wiltshire and his previous Los Angeles property. He sold a ten bedroom, twenty-two bathroom LA mansion to Drake in a private $35-$50 million deal for the ten bedroom, twenty-two bathroom mansion. The 2022 sale came two months after Robbie found a buyer for his Wiltshire home in a deal worth £6.75million. Speaking to Australian radio hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson, Robbie said at the time: 'We're actually nowhere.' 'We haven't got an abode right now, we've pretty much sold everywhere, we don't live anywhere and we're trying to figure it out.' Robbie and his wife Ayda, 46, share four children, Teddy, 11, son Charlie, nine, daughter Coco, five and three-year-old son Beau. Robbie previously said that his kids are a massive factor in deciding where to live because they need to be placed in suitable schools. He explained: 'The four kids are constantly a Rubix Cube puzzle that we're trying to sort out because if they are schooled then they don't see me because I'm all over the place and if they are home-schooled then they have another set of things that are a problem.' Speaking in 2014, Robbie - then a father of two - admitted he was keen to make the United Kingdom his permanent base after spending an extended period of time in the United States. He told The Sun: 'I love LA. The people and the weather are great but it's not England. It can't offer the same. Things change when you're a dad - there are people to look after who are more important than yourself. 'I want [daughter] Teddy and the new baby, whatever it may be, to be educated in England. Teddy is already surrounded by English people so she's bound to have an accent anyway. 'But that's not the point - we want to educate her in London. We've just bought a ruddy big house so we had better be coming back!'
