‘FUBAR' Fans Are Saying the Same Thing About Show's Cancellation
On August 1, Deadline reported that FUBAR would not return for Season 3. The decision came after its Season 2 premiere on July 12 yielded lackluster viewership on the streaming platform.
Only 2.2 million views came in from Thursday to Sunday, down from 11 million views for the Season 1 premiere weekend. FUBAR peaked at #7 on Netflix with 3.3 million views during its first full week. For its third week, the show dropped to #10 with 1.8 million views before it exited the Top 10 altogether.
For the action-comedy series, CIA agent Luke Brunner (Schwarzenegger) discovered his daughter, Emma (Barbaro), was also part of the CIA. The father-daughter duo was forced to work together to stop an arms dealer, blurring the lines between their professional and personal lives. Additionally, FUBAR starred Carrie-Anne Moss, Fortune Feimster, Milan Carter, Travis Van Winkle, Fabiana Udenio, Jay Baruchel and more.
On Reddit, fans of FUBAR weren't surprised by Netflix axing the show. Although many enjoyed the first season, which premiered in May 2023, the more than two years between Season 1 and Season 2, combined with the slower, uninspired plot of the follow-up seasons left many disinterested.

One Redditor shared, 'It was not good but it was also somehow compelling. The second season seemed to tie up most loose ends. I'm OK with this.'
Another echoed, 'I watched 2 episodes of the second season and got so bored I couldn't finish it. Season One had some decent humor, but Season 2 had all the characters ridiculously Flanderized. Good riddance.'
Someone else pointed out, 'Audience fell off dramatically from season one. Writing was on the wall.'
Meanwhile, yet another confessed, 'I saw it coming…not even Carrie-Anne Moss can save this dire mess.'
Others were a bit more disappointed but thought Season 2 wrapped up the storyline nicely.
One Reddit user shared, 'Lame. It was a nice show. Had me cracking up at times. The last episode of season two felt like a conclusion just in case they got cancelled. I will miss FUBAR.'
A different fan wrote, 'Well, I enjoyed it despite not being an outstanding show at all. Season 2 kind of wrapped a lot of things up. So okish'
Someone else lamented, 'Another decent one bites the dust. Stupid Netflix.'

Brad Pitt achieves record-breaking box office career milestone
Brad Pitt's latest movie, F1, has sped past all of the other movies in the actor's acclaimed filmography to set a new box office record for the Hollywood star. F1, or to be precise, F1: The Movie, has recently surpassed $545m (£410m) at the global box office, higher than what was once Pitt's biggest hit, 2013's World War Z, which achieved $540m (£407m). In addition, filmmaker Joseph Kosinski's F1 also set a record for Apple Studios as it outperformed Ridley Scott's historical epic Napoleon ($221m) and Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon ($158m), to become the company's highest-grossing theatrical release of all time. Pitt, 61, plays the role of veteran driver Sonny Hayes, who returns to the grid after a long absence with fictional team APX GP. Among his other box office hits are Mr and Mrs Smith ($487m), Ocean's Eleven ($450m) and Once Upon a Hollywood ($377m). The Quentin Tarantino-directed Once Upon a Time... also earnt Pitt an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 2020. Asides from films in which Pitt had a lead or major role, the only film he has appeared in with a bigger box office revenue than F1 is Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool 2, in which Pitt appeared in a brief cameo role. The film earnt $785m (£591m) at the box office in 2018. F1, of which seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton is an executive producer, was released in June to mixed reviews. In a two-star review The Independent's Clarisse Loughrey wrote: 'For a film both produced by and starring (in a brief but pivotal role) Hamilton, and otherwise happily populated by a real who's who of the current F1 scene, Ehren Kruger's script sidelines much of the real skill involved here, all those split-second decisions of when to pit and when to overtake. 'Instead, we're called on to root for Pitt's washed-up veteran Sonny Hayes, an obnoxiously skewed take on Tom Cruise's Maverick who treats the track like his own personal Ben-Hur chariot race.' Despite its impressive box office takings, F1 is still way off the top of the leaderboard when it comes to the biggest films of 2025. Disney's Lilo & Stitch ($1bn/£753m) and Warner Bros A Minecraft Movie ($955m/£719m) both lead the way in Hollywood, with Jurassic World: Rebirth, starring Scarlett Johansson, trailing just behind after earning an impressive $766m (£577m). These, though, pale in comparison to the Chinese animated film Ne Zha 2, which has earnt $1.8bn (£1.3bn) worldwide. The majority of its box-office revenue has come from China, although it was also released internationally. An English-language version of the film is now in production, featuring voice work from Michelle Yeoh.

Hot spots: Orlando's indoor attractions offer cool-down options
ORLANDO, Fla. — Yes, it's crazy hot outside. But yes, there are options to steaming and standing in line for a ride. Orlando has many indoor attractions to fill the overheated vacation and staycation time. Here are five combo packs that offer direct sunlight only whilst you are moving from the car to the gate. Merlin minds Icon Park offers several 1-2 attractions punches, but consider a stroll through Madame Tussauds Orlando then winding through Sea Life Orlando Aquarium. They're both in the large building at the base of the Orlando Eye, so there would be no heat or rain to fret about in between stops. All three of those attractions are owned by Merlin Entertainments, so there are ticket bundles available. Tussauds features wax-based replicas of famous folks ready for their close-ups and your selfies. A recent addition is a new version of Taylor Swift, one of 13 poses created for Tussauds outlets worldwide. Sea Life is home to creatures such as sharks, turtles, stingrays, jellyfish and seahorses, and the structural highlight is probably the Ocean Tunnel that gives dry landers an all-around look at underwater life. Merlin also runs Sea Life Florida Aquarium, which opened next door to Legoland Florida in Winter Haven earlier this year. More info: and Go: Karts and cars At Dezerland Park, which bills itself as Florida's largest indoor attraction, double up on driving-related activities. The building houses electric Go-Kart courses, including a major hairpin. Nearby is the Orlando Auto Museum with 2,000 vehicles worth $200 million. Some are old and rare, some are big-screen famous and others are just, well, unusual. Those attractions are separately ticketed. There are additional Dezerland options, such as bowling, ax throwing, pinball, laser tag, movie theaters and Jumpstart, which blends sports and trampolining. More info: Old and new tech More than a century ago, the Titanic, a modern sea-going marvel, sank in the Atlantic. Some 200 items (and replicas) from the liner are on display at Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition, including a formidable chunk of the ship's actual hull. The attraction recently added a black-glass necklace recovered from the ocean floor and thought to be another possible relic from the ship. Tech today allows adventure in a headset. Moving south down International Drive from the Titanic attraction is Sandbox VR, newly opened at Pointe Orlando. The attraction features headsets and full-body motion capture for experiences titled 'Squid Game Virtuals,' 'Amber Sky 2088' and 'Curse of Davy Jones.' More info: and Believe it times 2 It's odd, and that's OK. The Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum has a slew of items related to heaven and Earth, including a room devoted to the freak show that is Florida. But there's also movie-making tributes and Feel Far Out, a space section, that shows off a 3,197-pound meteorite as well as a 'Star Wars' lightsaber wielded on screen by Luke Skywalker. Its next-door neighbor is sister attraction Ripley's Mirror Maze, which messes with your mind with reflections (and reflections of reflections) and LEDs that distort the pathway through. Not coincidentally, Ripley's daily cartoon for Monday told us that 'the human brain is less capable of complex decision-making when it's too hot outside.' More info: Escape from I-Drive Two Orlando museums have fresh offerings, though walking between the two would not be recommended this week. The Orange County Regional History Center presents 'Orlando Collected,' a gathering of items related to pop culture, politics, parks and more in honor of the 150th anniversary of the city's founding. This Friday, the downtown museum has a 'lunch and learn' session on the making of the exhibit. Meanwhile, Orlando Science Center (about 2.5 miles to the north in Loch Haven Park) has four levels of exhibits and films plus its current exhibit called 'DC Superheroes: Discover Your Superpowers.'
