Well, it seems the stars aligned a bit too neatly against Netflix’s Fubar—just as Mars ambushed Mercury this week, Netflix has mercilessly pulled the plug on Arnold Schwarzenegger’s CIA escapade after a mere two seasons. Our favorite nearly-retired secret agent Luke Bremmer, who was supposed to be clocking out with style, ended up taken off the grid far too soon. Honestly, watching the show barely cling to that last Top 10 spot felt like a cosmic hint that the mission was doomed from the start. With Carrie-Anne Moss stepping in last season as a fiery ex-East German spy, and Monica Barbaro playing his CIA operative daughter, you’d think the sparks were flying, but apparently not enough to light up Netflix’s ratings board. So, what happens when a streaming hit enters a retrograde phase just as its storyline does? Apparently, cancellation. Talk about bad timing. Curious to peek behind the curtain? LEARN MORE .
Deadline reports that Netflix has cancelled Fubar after just two seasons. The action/comedy series starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as Luke Bremmer, a CIA operative on the verge of retirement who discovers a family secret and is forced to go back into the field for one last job. Unfortunately, the cancellation isn’t a big surprise, as the second season came and went with minimal impact, with the show barely occupying the last spot in Netflix’s Top 10 in its first week.
The second season saw Carrie-Anne Moss join the cast as Greta Nelso, a former East German spy who has a passionate history with Schwarzenegger’s character. The show also starred Monica Barbaro as Emma Brunner, Luke’s daughter and a fellow CIA operative. The rest of the cast includes Milan Carter, Fortune Feimster, Travis Van Winkle, Fabiana Udenio, Aparna Brielle, Guy Burnet, Andy Buckley, Jay Baruchel, Barbara Eve Harris, and Scott Thompson.
Surprisingly, Fubar is one of just a few shows that Netflix has cancelled this year, with The Recruit, Pulse, and The Residence previously getting the axe.
Our own Alex Maidy likely isn’t shocked by the news, who wrote that the show “should and could be so much better” in his review. “There is a fun concept buried in this series that deserves a chance to shine, and that would take a higher budget and better writers than what we have here,” he wrote. “I chuckled here and there through the second season of FUBAR, but more due to Fortune Feimster’s delivery than anything else. Like season one, FUBAR will be a streaming hit right out of the gate and be easily forgotten. I would not be sad to see this be the end of the road for FUBAR, but I will remain hopeful that if a season three comes our way, it will softly reboot itself into a better show.” Sadly, it seems that won’t happen.
