Arnold Schwarzenegger teams up with ‘Top Gun’ star, tells fans ‘I’m back, baby’
foxnews.comArnold Schwarzenegger is "back, baby!" The Austrian-born actor and politician is making his scripted, live-action television debut in the new show "FUBAR." Schwarzenegger, who plays CIA operative Luke Brunner, says his new show is reminiscent of one of his old films. "Everywhere I go, people ask me when I'm going to do another big action comedy like ‘True Lies’… Well, here it is," he said in a press release.
The 1994 film starred Schwarzenegger with Jamie Lee Curtis, as a spy believed to be a salesman by his family. Netflix details the show as surrounding "a CIA operative on the verge of retirement," who discovers a family secret. "Forced to go back into the field for one last job, the series tackles universal family dynamics set against a global backdrop of spies, action and humor." Schwarzenegger says the new show "will kick your a-- and make you laugh – and not just for two hours.
You get a whole season. It’s been a joy to work with Nick [Santora, showrunner], Skydance, and Netflix to give my fans exactly what they’ve been waiting for." The eight-episode season of "FUBAR" will premiere on Netflix May 25.
Each episode will span 60 minutes. In the trailer, Schwarzenegger whips around in a BMW sports car, fires guns, smokes a cigar and purposely utters, "I'm back, baby," a nod to his infamous "Terminator" line. "Top Gun: Maverick" actress Monica Barbaro will star as Schwarzenegger's daughter in the show.
