Netflix’s FUBAR returns for its second season, raising the stakes with an expanded narrative of covert operations, family drama, and global threats. Arnold Schwarzenegger reprises his role as CIA operative Luke Brunner, alongside Monica Barbaro as his daughter Emma.
Following the explosive revelations of the first season, the father-daughter duo is drawn back into the world of espionage when a new adversary emerges—Luke’s former lover, Greta Nelso, a German terrorist played by Carrie-Anne Moss.
Their attempt to lead a normal life is quickly derailed as Greta’s reappearance initiates a sequence of escalating dangers, culminating in a mission to prevent the launch of a nuclear missile capable of triggering a global catastrophe. The story takes a darker turn with the revelation that MI6 agent Theodore “Theo” Chips is, in fact, Dante Cress—the architect of the entire terror plot.
Although Cress ultimately meets his end inside a missile silo, Greta survives after a daring move to destroy the missile from within, leaving her storyline open for possible future developments. Her survival hints at unresolved tensions and potential continuation should the series move forward.
As of now, Netflix has not officially announced a third season. The future of FUBAR is expected to hinge on audience engagement and viewership performance, particularly in the weeks immediately following the release of Season 2.
Critical response to the new season has been varied. While the series maintains its signature combination of action, humor, and family conflict, some viewers have noted the predictability of its narrative arcs. Nevertheless, for fans of action-driven espionage stories with a family dynamic at the center, FUBAR Season 2 delivers on entertainment, albeit without substantial innovation.
The latest season is currently available for streaming on Netflix, but the continuation of Luke Brunner’s story will depend on whether the show can maintain strong viewership and justify a third season.
