Arnold Schwarzenegger’s stint as a undercover agent with household troubles involves an abrupt finish, as Netflix cancels Fubar after 2 seasons.

It took two years for Fubar season 2 to make its technique to Netflix, and maybe that was too lengthy a niche, because the present premiered to simply 2.2 million views, barely cracking the streamer’s prime 10.

The present’s disappointing season 2 numbers satisfied Netflix that Fubar is certainly FUBAR, resulting in the present being canceled (by way of Deadline). The numbers don’t lie: Fubar solely made it to #7 on the Netflix prime 10 English-language sequence chart its first full week, and made just one extra look on the weekly chart for the remainder of the season.

What Fubar’s Cancellation Means For Netflix

Netflix has developed a repute for being fast to ax sequence that don’t carry out as much as expectations, however they’ve been comparatively forgiving to this point in 2025. Along with Fubar, the streamer has given the hook to The Recruit, Pulse and The Residence, whereas renewing virtually 20 different scripted exhibits.

Fubar should have been among the many streamer’s most costly exhibits, simply given Schwarzenegger’s payment, which probably performed an element in its being canceled after solely two seasons. Critics didn’t do the present any favors both, panning it solidly sufficient for it to land at 47% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Fubar season 2’s RT viewers rating of 79% is considerably increased than that non-fresh critics’ rating. Sadly, Netflix doesn’t make selections based mostly on a handful of viewers critiques, however seems to be on the chilly, exhausting scores numbers.

The coldest and hardest variety of all for Fubar season 2 was 1.3 million: the paltry variety of views the present obtained in its third week, the final time it managed to crack the highest 10 English-language exhibits on Netflix.

Our Take On Netflix Canceling Fubar

It was enjoyable seeing Schwarzenegger in a largely lighthearted spy present, primarily doing a variation on his character from the James Cameron film True Lies. Fubar additionally lucked out in casting Monica Barbaro as Schwarzenegger’s daughter and undercover agent colleague, resulting in some entertaining banter between the 2.

Amusing as Fubar might have been the primary time round, the joke was sure to get previous, and season 2 certainly proved that there was by no means a lot tread on that specific comedic tire.

Although Fubar in the end sputtered on its technique to the end line, it did present some enjoyable and memorable moments. After bringing the motion legend into the streaming fold again in 2023, Netflix is now formally out of the Schwarzenegger enterprise. However a brand new challenge may emerge that may reunite the streamer and the famous person.
