Netflix's action-comedy series FUBAR has returned for a second season, but the comeback hasn’t matched expectations.
Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Oscar-nominated Monica Barbaro, the show focuses on the secret double lives of CIA agents Luke and Emma Brunner — a father-daughter duo unaware that they’ve both been working for the same agency for years.
The first season, which premiered in 2023, was a massive hit, racking up nearly 90 million viewing hours in its debut week. However, the second season, released just last week, fell drastically short with only 2.2 million views in its first seven days — a staggering 80% drop from its initial performance.
Fans who had eagerly anticipated the new season are now expressing disappointment. Many critiques revolve around the narrative's shift from character development and original storytelling to more cliché love triangles. This creative pivot has left long-time viewers concerned about the show's direction and its potential cancellation.
Whether FUBAR can regain its momentum or fade into Netflix’s long list of one-hit wonders remains to be seen.
