Netflix’s hit “FUBAR” returns for Season 2 on June 12, bringing with it a new wave of hijinks and excitement—and “Matrix” star Carrie-Anne Moss. Created by Nick Santora (“Scorpion,” “Reacher”), the action-comedy features Arnold Schwarzenegger as a CIA operative.
As a veteran of both action and comedy films—“Jingle All the Way,” anyone?—Schwarzenegger told Tudum that Season 2 will be jam-packed with the qualities his fans love most. “It is bigger, it is better,” he said. “There are more laughs. There is more of everything…including one more legend!” With Moss slated to play his former flame—who also happens to be on an evil mission—we don’t doubt the series will deliver.

Season 1 of “FUBAR” follows Luke Brunner (Schwarzenegger) and his daughter, Emma (Monica Barbaro, “A Complete Unknown”), who are both CIA operatives. The only problem? Neither one has told the other about their secretive career choice. (Guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!) The two finally discover the truth when they are forced to work together to complete a mission. Faced with the opportunity to truly get to know one another, the father-daughter duo clashes as Luke treats Emma like a child. All doesn’t go as planned, either, exposing the identities of everyone on Luke’s team.
On Season 2, as they deal with the fallout, Luke will soon find himself at the center of a different dilemma when his ex, Greta Nelso (Moss), resurfaces in an attempt to destroy the world as we know it.
