A new Netflix series called FUBAR will star Arnold Schwarzenegger as a retired CIA agent who gets called back into service. Sure, it's the action scenario you would expect, but the twist is that it's a family comedy, too. Why did Schwarzenegger decide to give a television series a try? It could be because no one really tried to recruit him for one before, with his extraordinary clout as a movie star and former governor of California. Schwarzenegger is executive producer of FUBAR, along with showrunner Nick Santora, so the governator probably has a lot of creative control over FUBAR. It's got all his tried-and-true devices: action, danger, snappy one-liners, international intrigue, familial relationships, violence, and the "I'm getting too old for this" shtick that gives new movies to old action stars. FUBAR will premiere on Netflix on May 25th. (via Digg)
A family comedy? Not for families with young children as it will probably be rated PG-13 or R--or whatever the TV equivalent is (TV-MA).
ReplyDeleteYeah, I meant the situation between him and his daughter, which is about family relationships. There should be a more precise term for that.
