48 FUBAR: Season 1

Dramedy series debuts May 25 on Netflix

Netflix's long-gestating "untitled Arnold Schwarzenegger project" has a name, and it's FUBAR. The actor/governor's first TV series is an action spy comedy that finds him playing a CIA agent on the verge of retirement who is called upon for the genre-standard "one last job" after discovering that his daughter (Monica Barbaro) has also been working as a CIA operative for years without either one realizing the other's involvement with the agency. The series comes from Nick Santora (Reacher, Scorpion) and also stars Gabriel Luna, Fortune Feimster, Adam Pally, Milan Carter, and Travis Van Winkle, while guests include Jay Baruchel, Dustin Milligan, Scott Thompson, and Tom Arnold. All eight episodes stream on day one.
