The explosive action-comedy FUBAR is returning for its second season, and this time, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Luke Brunner is facing off against an unexpected adversary—his ex. Netflix has officially set the release date for June 12, 2024, with eight new episodes packed with high-stakes espionage, sharp humor, and a thrilling new dynamic between Schwarzenegger and The Matrix star Carrie-Anne Moss.
What’s in Store for FUBAR Season 2?
Season 1 left viewers on a major cliffhanger: Luke and his daughter Emma (Monica Barbaro), both CIA operatives, had their identities exposed, putting their lives—and the safety of their team—in jeopardy. Now, in Season 2, they must navigate the fallout while dealing with betrayal, old flames, and a world-threatening conspiracy.
Creator Nick Santora (Reacher, Prison Break) teased that the new season is “bananas,” promising unexpected twists and even more chaotic fun. One of the biggest surprises? The introduction of Carrie-Anne Moss as Greta Nelso, a former East German spy with a complicated history with Luke.
Santora describes Moss and Schwarzenegger as “icons” who effortlessly blend action, comedy, and deep character work. Their on-screen chemistry is already generating buzz, especially with Moss taking on a bold German accent and diving into both fight scenes and comedic moments.
Carrie-Anne Moss Joins the Chaos
For Moss, joining FUBAR was an opportunity to step into a role unlike any she’s played before. After Santora pitched her the character, she binge-watched the first season and was immediately hooked.
“I laughed so hard,” Moss recalls. “The way Nick described Greta, I just thought it would be really fun. And, of course, working with Arnold was an amazing thought—how incredible would that be?”
Their first meeting was anything but ordinary—it happened during a dance rehearsal (yes, there’s a dance scene in Season 2). Moss describes Schwarzenegger as a natural entertainer, making the set a lively and fun environment.
“We just jumped in, and it was so much fun,” she says. “He’s a hoot. We got to know each other rehearsing, then on set, and even ran into each other at the gym. ‘Fun’ is just the word that comes up all the time.”
The Return of the Brunner Family—and Their Many Problems
At the end of Season 1, the Brunners were in deep trouble. Not only are their identities compromised, but there’s also a potential mole in their midst—Tina (Aparna Brielle), the shady analyst whose loyalties remain unclear.
Santora hints that Season 2 will explore the team’s struggle to survive while keeping their personal relationships intact.
“In life, when you’re in a tough situation, the only way out is through,” he says. “Luckily, our team is able to go through it together. Whether they’re blood relatives like Luke and Emma, colleagues like Aldon and Roo, or ex-lovers like Tally and Donnie—they’re family. And if they don’t work together, the world as they know it might end.”
The Full Cast Returns—Plus New Faces
Schwarzenegger and Barbaro reprise their roles as the father-daughter spy duo, but the show’s strength lies in its ensemble cast. Returning favorites include:

A Bigger, Bolder Season
With Moss joining the cast, FUBAR Season 2 promises even more action, comedy, and unexpected alliances. Santora and his team have crafted a story that balances high-stakes espionage with the show’s signature humor, ensuring fans get the best of both worlds.
“We’re coming up with some real fun surprises for FUBAR fans,” Santora says. “Season 2 is going to be wild.”
Final Thoughts: Why You Should Watch
FUBAR stands out as a rare blend of over-the-top action and heartfelt comedy, anchored by Schwarzenegger’s charismatic performance. With Moss now in the mix, the stakes are higher, the banter is sharper, and the explosions are bigger.
Mark your calendars for June 12—because when FUBAR returns, it’s bringing the heat.
Get ready. The mission isn’t over yet.
