- Saving the world runs in the family.May 25, 2023
Take Your Daughter to Work Day has never had higher stakes.
In his first TV role ever, Arnold Schwarzenegger is the star and executive producer of the upcoming action-comedy spy series FUBAR, created by Nick Santora. “Everywhere I go, people ask me when I’m going to do another big action comedy like True Lies,” says Schwarzenegger. “Well, here it is.”

“FUBAR is, by far, the most surreal project of my career,” says Santora, who serves as showrunner and executive producer. “I grew up watching Arnold Schwarzenegger films –– I’d hit my dad up for a few bucks so I could race to the movies and see the biggest star in the world on the big screen –– so creating the first scripted television project for Arnold is unbelievably exciting for me. The thing I always marveled at was how Schwarzenegger could be funny while still kicking ass... that’s why I wanted FUBAR to be a hysterical, CIA-spy comedy mixed with heart-stopping action! And it is all that — and more. I’d love to elaborate with more details, but sorry, it’s classified.”
