Arnold Schwarzenegger (Predator) is back, baby, as he headlines his first-ever TV series, Netflix’s Fubar. The streamer released the first teaser trailer on Monday, where Schwarzenegger is thrown into the world of espionage.

Schwarzenegger stars as Luke, a CIA operative on the verge of retirement who discovers a secret involving his daughter Emma (Top Gun: Maverick’s Monica Barbaro). Luke, who has concealed his life in the CIA from his family, learns that Emma is also a CIA operative. With the discovery, Luke is now forced back into the field for one final job as Fubar depicts “universal family dynamics set against a global backdrop of spies, action, and humor.”

Created by Nick Santora (Reacher), Fubar is Schwarzenegger’s return to action comedy, a genre he took to new heights with smash hits like Kindergarten Cop, Last Action Hero, and True Lies. Schwarzenegger, who serves as an executive producer on Fubar, is looking to capture that same magic but in television form.

“Everywhere I go, people ask me when I’m going to do another big action comedy like True Lies,” Schwarzenegger said in a statement. “Well, here it is. 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 Nick, Skydance, and Netflix to give my fans exactly what they’ve been waiting for.”

Starring alongside Schwarzenegger and Barbaro are Jay Baruchel (How to Train Your Dragon), Aparna Brielle (A.P. Bio), Milan Carter (Warped!), Travis Van Winkle (The Last Ship), Andy Buckley (The Office), Fabiana Udenio (Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery ), Barbara Eve Harris (Prison Break), Fortune Feimster (Velma), and Gabriel Luna (The Last of Us).

Fubar will premiere globally on May 25 on Netflix.

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.

A family is terrorized in The Watcher’s first trailer

Owning your own home is the American dream, or so we've been told. The reality is that it can be extremely difficult to buy your own home within the current housing market -- and implied threats from would-be stalkers are not going to help make that any more bearable. Next month, Netflix is debuting a new series called The Watcher, and if the first trailer gives you American Horror Story vibes, it's probably because series creator Ryan Murphy works on both shows. But there's nothing supernatural in play here -- instead, it's just good old-fashioned fear and paranoia.
