Arnold Schwarzenegger (The Terminator) has been one of the most influential movie stars of the last 40 years. Now, Schwarzenegger is heading to television to star in his first scripted series, Netflix’s FUBAR.

FUBAR is an action comedy series that follows Schwarzenegger’s Luke, a retired CIA operative pulled back into the business to extract another operative and dangerous weapon from a secret location. Upon arrival, Luke discovers that his daughter, Emma (Top Gun: Maverick’s Monica Barbaro), is also a CIA operative, and that she hid her occupation from her father. Luke must set aside his preconceived notions and team up with his daughter to complete the mission.

Schwarzenegger, an executive producer on FUBAR, returns to his action-comedy roots, a genre made famous by the actor in films like True Lies and The Last Action Hero. When Netflix released the first teaser, Schwarzenegger said, “FUBAR will kick your ass and make you laugh – and not just for two hours. You get a whole season. It’s been a joy to work with [FUBAR creator] Nick [Santora], Skydance, and Netflix to give my fans exactly what they’ve been waiting for.”

Unsolved Mysteries Volume 3 trailer heralds the show’s return to Netflix
The spookiest Sesame Street doll ever on Unsolved Mysteries.

The original Unsolved Mysteries series had a famous tagline in which the host, the late Robert Stack, would invite viewers to "join the search and perhaps you may be able to help solve a mystery." That might be a tall order if you're looking to find Bigfoot or trying to prove the existence of extraterrestrials, but it's easy to forget that some of the cases featured on Unsolved Mysteries were all too real. For the families of the missing or the deceased, it's no laughing matter. Later this month, Netflix is bringing back its Unsolved Mysteries revival series for nine new episodes, with a different mystery in each one.
