One of the coolest and most beloved sub-genres for thriller, action, and drama fans is the spy genre and there’s a good reason. In a spy film or series, we get complicated and cool characters who put their lives on the line by going against numerous people and instead of always letting their guns talk they use more covert tactics, which are always thrilling to watch. So, Netflix being what it is, it has a large library of content and also some of the best spy shows you can find and that’s what inspired us to compile a list of the best spy shows you can watch on Netflix right now.

Last year, big screen icon Arnold Schwarzenegger made his small screen debut, starring as stogie-smoking CIA operative Luke Brunner in Netflix's action-comedy Fubar. With millions of viewers tuning in to see the streamer's Chief Action Officer in, er, action, a second season was greenlit within weeks. And with production already underway on Brunner's return, we now know who Luke and spook daughter Emma (Monica Barbaro) will be facing this time around — and folks, they're going to have their work cut out for them. None other than The Matrix's Trinity herself, Carrie-Anne Moss, has joined the cast of Fubar S2.

As THR reports, action veteran Moss is set to play Luke's former adversary — and former lover — Greta Nelso in the second season. An ex-East German spy who shares "a passionate history" with our man Luke, Greta will represent a new kind of challenge for Arnie's hero, who not...

Although reactions to the series have been mixed, Fubar has been renewed for a second season on Netflix, as the streaming service obviously sees some potential in the Arnold Schwarzenegger-led action comedy series. Now, we know that Arnie will be back for the second season, as well as many familiar faces from Season 1, but we have just received news that a Hollywood legend is joining the second season of the series as one of its female leads. The actress in question is Carrie-Anne Moss, best known for her work in The Matrix franchise, and it seems that she will be another new challenge for Arnie’s character.

The second season of Fubar is currently being worked on, but Netflix hasn’t confirmed a release date for the season. The first season of the series consists of a total of eight episodes.

As for Moss’ entry into the world of Fubar,...

Carrie-Anne Moss, best known for her iconic role as Trinity in 'The Matrix' franchise, is set to join Arnold Schwarzenegger and the cast of "FUBAR" for the show's second season on Netflix.

Moss will play Greta Nelso, described as a former East German spy who has a "passionate history" with Schwarzenegger's character, Luke Brunner. In the new season, Luke finds himself facing off against villains from his past, including an old flame (Moss) who threatens to destroy the world.

"We're thrilled to welcome Carrie-Anne Moss to the cast of "FUBAR" for what promises to be an action-packed second season," said creator and showrunner Nick Santora. "Her character Greta Nelso adds an exciting new dynamic as a nuanced adversary with complicated ties to Arnold's Luke Brunner."

In addition to Schwarzenegger and Moss, Season 2 will see the return of Monica Barbaro, Fortune Feimster, Travis Van Winkle, Jay Baruchel, Aparna Brielle, Andy Buckley, Milan Carter, Fabiana Udenio, and Barbara Eve Harris.

The satirical spy series, produced by Skydance Television, follows CIA operative Luke Brunner (Schwarzenegger) who finds himself thrust back into action after saving his daughter during an intended retirement mission in Season 1.

The series' first season garnered praise for its offbeat blend of action, comedy, and family dynamics anchored by Schwarzenegger's first major TV role. Season 2 will continue exploring those elements while raising the stakes with new threats for Brunner to confront.

A release date for the eight-episode season has not been announced yet. The series is executive produced by Santora, Schwarzenegger, Adam Higgs, Scott Sullivan, and others.

Arnold Schwarzenegger will face a new foe in the second season of his Netflix series Fubar.

Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix series) has joined the action comedy as a former adversary — and former flame — of Schwarzenegger’s not-quite-retired CIA spy Luke Brunner. Production on Fubar‘s second season began in late April; a premiere date hasn’t been scheduled.

Moss will play Greta Nelso, a former East German operative who shares a passionate history with Luke. He’s tasked with stopping her threat to destroy the world — if she doesn’t destroy his life first.

Fubar is Schwarzenegger’s first starring role in a TV series. The show premiered in May 2023 and was renewed for season two a few weeks later. The first season revolved around Luke, on the verge of retirement, being pulled into a mission to save a fellow CIA officer, who turns out to be his daughter (Monica Barbaro). Milan Carter,...

Carrie-Anne Moss is joining Arnold Schwarzenegger in action comedy series “Fubar” Season 2 as a former East German spy — who has a passionate history with Schwarzenegger’s CIA operative.

Moss joins the returning cast of “Fubar,” which includes Schwarzenegger, Monica Barbaro, Fortune Feimster, Travis Van Winkle, Jay Baruchel, Aparna Brielle, Andy Buckley, Milan Carter, Fabiana Udenio and Barbara Eve Harris.

In Season 2 of “Fubar,” Schwarzenegger reprises his role as Luke Brunner, a veteran CIA operative who, until recently, was on the verge of retirement. After his last mission in saving another operative — who just so happened to be his daughter — he’s back and face-to-face with new villains. This one is an old flame from Luke’s past who threatens to destroy the world… if she doesn’t destroy his life first.

Schwarzenegger, 76, after undergoing open-heart surgery said on social media in March that he was ready to start shooting Season 2 of “Fubar” on schedule.

Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger has given a health update and shared that he will be ready to shoot for the second season of ‘Fubar’ by next month. The actor shared a picture of himself with a thank you note for those who sent him messages.

Schwarzenegger went on to assure his fans that the health issues will not keep him from shooting.

“Absolutely not,” Schwarzenegger said about whether he’d be prevented from shooting. “I will be ready to film in April,” reports deadline.com.

The actor shared a photo of himself reclining on a chair, with a red wire running out of his ear into what seemed to look like a cartoonish dynamite.

Of the “pacemaker,” he wrote sarcastically, “you can only see it if you’re really looking for it.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger has provided an update to fans after undergoing open-heart surgery, offering some encouragement that he won’t be away from business for too long. The 76-year-old actor and former Governor of California shared a photograph from recovery, including a sight gag about his new pacemaker, depicted as a cartoon-esque time bomb.

“I’ve gotten so many kind messages from all over the world, but a lot of people have asked if my pacemaker will cause any problems with ‘Fubar’ Season 2. Absolutely not,” Schwarzenegger wrote in a post Thursday afternoon. “I will be ready to film in April and you can only see it if you’re really looking for it.”

Thank you! I’ve gotten so many kind messages from all over the world, but a lot of people have asked if my pacemaker will cause any problems with Fubar Season 2. Absolutely not. I will be ready to film in April,...

Three open-heart surgeries and a pacemaker haven’t slowed Arnold Schwarzenegger down — or stifled his sense of humor.

After revealing the procedures earlier this week, the Governator posted a photo of himself today with a note thanking all those who sent him messages. He assured fans the health issues will not keep him from shooting Netflix’s Fubar, which was renewed for a second season last year.

“Absolutely not,” Schwarzenegger said about whether he’d be prevented from shooting. “I will be ready to film in April.”

The actor also added a bit of levity. The photo he shared shows a reclining Schwarzenegger with a red wire running out of his ear into what looks like a Looney Tunes version of a time bomb resting on his chest.

"It's totally Fubar," muses Arnold Schwarzenegger's CIA veteran Luke Brunner, after his spy cover and that of his team is completely blown at the end of Netflix's "Fubar."

Plot: A CIA Operative on the verge of retirement discovers a family secret. Forced to go back into the field for one last job, the series tackles universal family dynamics set against a global backdrop of spies, action and humor.

Review: Over the six decades of his acting career, Arnold Schwarzenegger has been in comedies, dramas, action movies, and horror flicks, but until now, he has not starred in a television series. With streaming services now as robust as any movie studio, the biggest names in Hollywood have headlined their own small-screen shows. Schwarzenegger’s Netflix series Fubar tries to replicate the best elements of the iconic actor’s filmography by blending action and humor with some new blood in the form of Top Gun: Maverick star Monica Barbaro. Fubar aims high but feels barely more than a network television spy series that could have been so much better considering the talent involved.

Here’s a look at this week’s biggest premieres, parties and openings in Los Angeles and New York, including red carpets for You Hurt My Feelings, Fubar, What Am I Eating? and The Machine.

"Fubar" features the coolest 65-year-old CIA operative, Luke Brunner, who busts Russian mobsters and takes down baddies in style. Played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, who couldn't be more perfect for the role, Luke had an eventful run as a CIA agent over the years and is finally ready to retire and spend more time with his family. However, his plans are thwarted when he is pulled into one last mission in Guyana, where he must extract another agent codenamed Panda while stopping an illegal arms dealer from putting a nuke suitcase up for auction. While such a mission would generally be a cakewalk for someone like Brunner, things get complicated when he discovers that his daughter Emma (Monica Barbaro) is the agent he is meant to extract.

Owing to the nature of his job, Luke was never been able to be around his family much,...

The Arnold Schwarzenegger Netflix spy comedy “Fubar” starts out so unfettered by reality that it holds real promise.

Luke Brunner, the CIA operative played by Schwarzenegger, who is 75, is described as being 65. He is on the eve of retirement when they pull him back in to infiltrate the Guyana compound of arms dealer Boro (Gabriel Luna), a guy so brutal that he kills an associate on stage at an outdoor party and orders the blood-splattered band to keep playing.

Also in Guyana is Luke’s do-gooder daughter, Emma. Unbeknownst to her father, she is also a CIA operative and so deeply embedded in Boro’s world that she has become his favorite fight-club competitor.

Arnold Schwarzenegger stars in Fubar, a new Netflix series created by Nick Santora.

As the song says, time goes by. It’s inevitable and remembering past moments with James Cameron isn’t bad at all. On that occasion, it was with the great Jamie Lee Curtis, and now it is with the also great Monica Barbaro.

That movie, True Lies, was highly entertaining and spectacular. Fubar is not as entertaining, it has a different format, Mr. Pumpkin is a bit older, and times have changed, as the series insists on reminding us, in an amusing, if not brilliant, generational renewal.

But we like this gentleman and the series is, at least, enjoyable within its pretensions.

Fubar (2023-) About the series

Fubar is not spectacular for a spy series: the action scenes do not have a fast pace, nor, except for its good beginning, it behaves like one of those series...

For those of you who've been clamoring for "True Lies 2" (i.e. Tom Arnold), the upcoming series "Fubar" is likely the closest you're going to get. Created by television veteran Nick Santora, the show stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as a CIA operative who's been lying to his daughter about his profession for years. Turns out the familial duplicity is a two-way street, as his daughter (Monica Barbaro) has been fibbing about her work as a spy, too. When the father and daughter are assigned to work together, their relationship essentially begins anew. And, yes, Tom Arnold is along for the ride.

This is Schwarzenegger's first official TV endeavor, and, if nothing else, it's got a fun supporting cast in Jay Baruchel, Aparna Brielle (so good on "AP Bio"), and Scott Thompson. Phil Abraham ("The Sopranos" and "Mad Men") directed the pilot, which is also encouraging. But, really, we're here for the...

Exclusive: Netflix’s upcoming 3D animated series, Mech Cadets will be released globally on August 10. Daniel Dae Kim (Lost), Ming-Na Wen (The Mandalorian), Brandon Soo Hoo (Teen Titans: The Judas Contract) and Debra Wilson (MADtv) will star in the Boom! Studios and Polygon Pictures production.

Hoo stars as Stanford Yu, a scrappy teenage underdog working as a janitor at Sky Corps who dreams of being a Robo Pilot. Kim plays General Aiden Park, the battle-hardened leader of Sky Corps Academy and the Mech Cadet program. As a father of one of the cadets and a General, he expects nothing short of perfection from his daughter and his soldiers.

Wen plays Dolly Yu, Stanford’s loving if a bit overprotective, mother and the calm head of the janitorial team at Sky Corps. Wilson plays Chief Max, a former Robo pilot, head of Engineering at Sky Corps, and mentor to the trainees.

Take a look at new footage from "Fubar", the upcoming live-action, spy-adventure TV series created by Nick Santora, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger in his first leading role in a scripted TV series produced by Skydance Television and Blackjack Films, streaming May 25, 2023 on Netflix:

"...'Luke' and his daughter 'Emma' have lied to each other for years, both of them not knowing the other is a 'CIA' operative. 

"Once they both learn the truth, they realize...

"...they don't actually know anything about each other..."

Cast also includes Monica Barbaro, Jay Baruchel, Aparna Brielle, Andy Buckley, Milan Carter, Fortune Feimster, Barbara Eve Harris, Boro Fabiana Udenio and Travis Van Winkle.

Arnold Schwarzenegger tackles his first starring role in a series with Fubar, an action-packed comedy series that finds him playing a spy on the verge of retirement. Of course he doesn’t retire and, of course, the full trailer for the Netflix series shows Schwarzenegger’s still got it as an action star.

In addition to Arnold Schwarzenegger, the cast of the eight-episode season includes Monica Barbaro, Milan Carter, Gabriel Luna, Fortune Feimster, and Travis Van Winkle. Fabiana Udenio, Barbara Eve Harris, Aparna Brielle, Andy Buckley, and Jay Baruchel also star.

Nick Santora created the series and serves as executive producer and showrunner. Additional executive producers include Adam Higgs, Scott Sullivan, Holly Dale, Bill Bost, and Skydance’s David Ellison and Dana Goldberg.

Here is a wrap-up of all the news you need to know from Wednesday, April 19, 2023.

Netflix's Bling Empire franchise is no more.

Deadline broke the news Wednesday, revealing that Bling Empire would not return for a fourth season.

Additionally, the New York-set spinoff has been canceled after a single season.

Stars included Christine Chiu, Kane Lim, Kelly Mi Li, Kevin Kreider, Gabriel Chu, Anna Shay, Cherie Chan, Jessey Lee, Kim Lee, Andrew Gray, Jamie Xie, and Guy Tang for the original series.

The spinoff Bling Empire: New York starred Dorothy Wang, who was in season two of the original show, as well as Tina Leung, Deborah Hung, and Stephen Hung.

No reason has been given for the cancellations, and there's no telling whether Netflix will revisit the franchise down the line.

Meanwhile, Acorn TV, AMC+, and BBC America launched the highly anticipated trailer for the third and final season...

He's back. And this time, he's coming for the world of streaming TV shows. Arnold Schwarzenegger was once the biggest movie star on the planet, but, amazingly enough, he's never in all of his years of stardom been at the center of a scripted TV show. That changes now, as Netflix has roped in the legendary action star for "Fubar," which is due to arrive on the streaming service next month. It very much looks like a modern action movie made for streaming -- only stretched out to the length of a series.

So, why now? What makes this the right time for the "Terminator"and "Predator" star to make the jump to the small screen? If this trailer is anything to go by, budgetary issues certainly aren't getting in the way like they would have in the '90s. Let's have a look at the trailer, shall we?

Arnold explains: "Everywhere I go, people ask me when I’m going to do another big action comedy like True Lies. Well, here it is. Fubar will kick your ass and make you laugh - and not just for two hours. You get a whole season." Fubar stars Schwarzenegger, along with Monica Barbaro, Milan Carter, Gabriel Luna, Fortune Feimster, Travis Van Winkle, Fabiana Udenio, Barbara Eve Harris, Aparna Brielle, Andy Buckley, and Jay Baruchel.

Loosely based on 1994’s True Lies, today’s Fubar trailer brings Schwarzenegger to the small screen for an action-packed, eight-episode series.

Fubar shows what happens when a father and daughter discover their relationship is a lie and they are each CIA operatives. As the two join forces, the eight-episode series will depict themes of family dynamics with humor, action, and spies.

Netflix’s Fubar trailer offers a hilarious look at Schwarzenegger – who is 76 years old – getting back to his action roots. While Barbaro does most of the heavy lifting in the hand-to-hand department, Arnold still displays his chops while dispatching goons like a pro. There’s also plenty of humor throughout the series, with the daddy/daughter...

Get to the chopper — or better yet — to Netflix.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is back with a trailer for “Fubar,” Netflix’s upcoming spy-adventure series starring the former Governator and “Top Gun: Maverick” actor Monica Barbaro.

The show follows father and daughter CIA operatives Luke (Schwarzenegger) and Emma Brunner (Barbaro) who discover they lived their entire lives unaware that the other was also part of the secretive agency. Just when he thought he was out, Luke gets pulled back in for one last job, but this time with his daughter. The series will have eight episodes.

The first teaser, released on Feb. 27, revealed that Schwarzenegger had yet to leave behind his one-liners and stogies, along with his love for action stories. “Fubar” shares some of the spy dramedy qualities of Schwarzenegger’s 1994 film “True Lies” with Jamie Lee Curtis. And while the show adds yet another action role to Schwarzeneggers large repertoire,...

Netflix has released the first trailer for “Fubar,” its upcoming action comedy about a CIA operative who joins his daughter for one final mission. The eight-episode series is set to premiere on the streaming service May 25.

The first few seconds of the “Fubar” trailer make it look like your typical Schwarzenegger movie. Luke (Schwarzenegger) is captured by a group of thugs who seem hellbent on making him pay. Seconds later, he breaks free and makes good on his promise to “kill all of you and then leave.” Back at the CIA, he’s surrounded by adoring co-workers who are happy to celebrate his impending retirement. But all of his happiness fades when Luke learns that his daughter Emma (Monica Barbaro) has followed in his footsteps to join this highly secretive and dangerous world.
