Summary

• FUBAR season 2 has been officially renewed, with Arnold Schwarzenegger confirming the news at Netflix's Tudum event. The show's success on Netflix and Schwarzenegger's involvement point to big plans for collaborations
• The story of FUBAR season 2 will delve deeper into the complicated web of interpersonal drama established in season 1.
• The focus will be on resolving love triangles and exploring the profound impact of being secret agents on Luke and Emma's relationships.

The Netflix original series FUBAR delivered on its promise of classic Arnold Schwarzenegger action in season 1, and there's already a steady train of FUBAR season 2 news inbound. From creator Nick Santora (Scorpion), FUBAR is the story of a CIA agent on the verge of retirement who must team up with his secret agent daughter to take down an international criminal. Besides its heap of action and remarkable ensemble, FUBAR season 1's biggest claim to fame came in the casting of action icon Schwarzenegger in his very first major role on TV. Outside the appeal of Schwarzenegger, the hilarious action comedy set itself up perfectly for season 2.

Unlike many other streaming shows that play it safe and wrap things up cleanly at the end of their first season, FUBAR made it obvious that the story continues even after season 1's conclusion. With a premise as open-ended as FUBAR's the possibilities for future seasons are nearly endless, and the show could grow into a legitimate action franchise. Though the initial reception to season 1 has been mixed at best (via Rotten Tomatoes), having Schwarzenegger in the cast of FUBAR is enough to propel the series into the future with a season 2.

FUBAR Season 2: Latest News

Schwarzenegger Gives A Production Update

After months of little to no news concerning the Netflix action hit's sophomore season, the latest update comes as production is set to begin soon on FUBAR season 2. According to a fan newsletter from action icon Arnold Schwarzenegger, the highly-anticipated second season is due to begin shooting very soon. FUBAR season 2 will begin shooting in April 2024, though it didn't provide any details outside that interesting tidbit, and Netflix has still not revealed a release date yet.

Production of FUBAR season 2 was likely delayed by the 2023 Hollywood strikes, though no reason for the delays has been given.

FUBAR Season 2 Is Confirmed

The Netflix Hit Returns

FUBAR season 2 has been confirmed with Arnold Schwarzenegger making the announcement at Netflix's Tudum fan event. The renewal comes after the show topped Netflix charts for two weeks, making it one of the biggest hits the streamer has had in 2023. Another positive sign for FUBAR season 2 came with the fact that Schwarzenegger landed a perfect Netflix job as the streamer's Chief Action Officer earlier in 2023. Though the role is purely ceremonial, it shows that the beloved action icon has bought into Netflix's program, suggesting they have big plans for collaborations with the actor.

Who Will Return For Season 2?

Schwarzenegger's FUBAR role explains his success by allowing him to play an action hero with a sense of humor, and FUBAR season 2 would absolutely need the former governor to have any chance to succeed. Since Schwarzenegger himself announced season 2, it can be expected that he will return as Luke Brunner. Likewise, he will most likely be joined by Monica Barbaro as his daughter Emma Brunner, because of how important their dynamic is to the series.

Additionally, the supporting cast should return en masse because of their comedic value, and notables like Fortune Feimster's Ruth and Jay Baruchel's Carter could be expected. The return of Gabriel Luna as Boro is dubious since he seemingly met his demise in the season 1 finale, but he could unexpectedly return in FUBAR season 2 as villains often do in action movies and shows. On the other hand, season 2 could introduce a new villain for Luke and his team to vanquish.

The most likely cast of FUBAR season 2 includes:

FUBAR Season 2 Story Details

What Happens Next?

Unlike most action stories which focus primarily on the main plot, FUBAR season 1 wove a complicated web of interpersonal drama, and it mostly went unresolved after eight episodes. The finale established that the Brunner's cover had been blown and that they were the targets of dangerous forces who wanted to wipe them out, and that will likely be the bulk of the story for FUBAR season 2. However, the FUBAR season 1 ending left at least two love triangles still to be figured out, and season 2 will have to grapple with those as well.

Emma's relationship with Carter was put on the rocks because of her kissing Aldon, and Luke's desire to win Tally back from Donnie wasn't resolved even after their wedding was crashed by Boro and his men. The true power of FUBAR season 2's story isn't going to come from the dastardly villains or big action sequences, but it will come from the exploration of Emma and Luke's relationships. Their years as secret agents have obviously had a profound effect on the lives of their loved ones, and FUBAR season 2 will give the Brunners a chance to make up for past mistakes.
