When will Nick Santora’s action-comedy series return on Netflix? Continue reading to find out more about Fubar Season 2.
Ever since the first season premiered on Netflix back on May 25, 2023, the show has proven why it is one of the most popular series on the streaming catalog, which has captured the interest of millions of viewers around the world of Luke Brunner, played by the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger in his first leading role in a scripted live-action television series, making it one of the overall most streamed television series for the week of its release, May 22–28, 2023, as per the Nielsen streaming rankings.
Due to this, new subscribers and fans of Arnold Schwarzenegger have already started to spread its magic through word of mouth or social media, which has caused many fans to eagerly look for more information on the upcoming season. So, if you are one of those who want to know it all, then we can assure you that you’ve come to the right place! We at Web News Observer have compiled all of the relevant details due to the high level of interest shown by the readers.
Here is everything we know about Netflix’s highly anticipated Fubar Season 2!
Fubar Season 2 Expected Release Date: When will it premiere on Netflix?
Firstly, we regret to inform the readers that the highly anticipated second season of “Fubar” will not be available to stream anytime soon, and certainly not in October 2023! We can say this with some assurance because the show’s makers haven’t provided an official release date, even though the next season’s production was previously expected to start later this year.
But right now, it looks like the chances of the shoot beginning anytime soon are minimal, with some of the reasons being even though after almost five months, the Writers Guild’s strike officially ended at 12:01 a.m. PT on Wednesday. It’s the SAG-AFTRA strike that is still left to be resolved, as reports state that SAG-AFTRA and studios could meet within days. “We have no confirmed dates scheduled, and there will not be meetings with the AMPTP this week,” a SAG-AFTRA spokesperson said. Further stating, “When we do have dates confirmed, we will inform our members. No one should rely on speculation.”
Until any confirmation, we’ll just have to wait until this strike ends for work to resume soon, as it seems likely that the actor’s strike might get extended until October 2023!
Moreover, with the dual strikes gaining momentum, we speculate that there are no new scripts for the new episodes written so far as the writer’s room has been effectively shut down, due to which there is no assurance that production can begin immediately once the strike concludes, as it will require more time for the writers to create some great scripts for the project, which is going to take a while! In conclusion, it’s unlikely that Fubar Season 2 will be able to return on Netflix in 2023 at all, and the network might soon release a revised schedule indicating that the show might make its official comeback sometime around mid-to-late 2024 only if the strike gets extended for more weeks.
So, we urge readers to just wait and see what the future holds! Any updates relating to this subject are still just pure conjecture, as no comment about it has been made by the verified source. Hence, we recommend readers follow the official social handles to catch up with all the new updates and developments whenever they are published. Meanwhile, check out the official renewal announcement as shared by Arnold Schwarzenegger on his official Twitter handle, quoting, “Wow. Not just @netflix. #1 everywhere. Thank you all for making FUBAR a huge hit. I can’t wait for Season 2!’

Fubar Season 2 Plot: What can the fans expect from the new season?
The official synopsis of the series states: “When a father and daughter learn that they’ve each secretly been working as CIA operatives for years, they realize their entire relationship has been a lie and they truly don’t know each other at all. Suddenly they’re forced to team up as partners, making for a series that tackles universal family dynamics set against a global backdrop of spies, fantastic action, and humor.”
The second season is also expected to continue from the first season’s final episode, “That’s It And That’s All,” which was directed by Stephen Surjik and written by Nick Santora.
In the episode, the viewers see that Learning Tina is about to be recalled by the NSA, and Barry asks many favors from the agency to keep her around. On the day of Tally and Donnie’s wedding, Emma tells Luke to be honest with her mother. He reveals his life as a CIA agent, giving her his National Intelligence Distinguished Service Medal, and asks if she wants to call off the wedding and run away with him.
The ceremony is then invaded by Boro, who, after being rescued by his men, uses all the data he accrued on the Brunners to discover their location and proceeds to render Tally hostage while asking Luke and Emma to shoot each other dead. Once Tally stabs Boro with Luke’s medal, she breaks from his grip, and Luke and Emma kill him. As the Brunners are told their identities have been leaked by a mole – who turns out to be Tina – they gather the group and run away alongside Tally, Donnie, and Carter, knowing many former enemies will be out to get them.
The following paragraph contains some major spoilers! Hence, we urge readers to skip this portion if they don’t want to know more about the outcome of the series. So, if you’re ready to dive into the world of spoiler-free bliss, buckle up and join us on this thrilling journey!
If you haven’t noticed recently, creator Nick Santora hinted Netflix Tudum about the next chapter’s potential plot in an early May report, quoting, “Season 2 is bananas.” Further adding, “We’re coming up with some real fun surprises for Fubar fans in Season 2, for sure.” Santora also teased that the extended Brunner family will have “a million things they’re going to have to deal with” in a second season like analyst Tina (Aparna Brielle) secretly working undercover. “In Season 2, we’re going to go in knowing there might be a rat in the kitchen. And what are they going to do about that?”
He also mentions that Luke and all his fellow agents’ identities, including his daughter Emma’s, have been exposed. Basically, “they’re in deep dog doo-doo, for sure. They’re in trouble.” However, the Brunners and their tribe of agents still know how to have fun along the way and are undoubtedly in for some more in Season 2. They are fending off bad guys and mending the scars of family trauma while doing so.
The series also revealed that they can no longer return home. “What I love is that [the ending] leaves it so open-ended, but you want to know what’s going to happen next. Anything can happen, and I think that’s the best way to leave it, too,” Van Winkle tells Tudum. Milan Carter (Barry) has his own theory. “Hopefully we go to Memphis, and get some barbecue,” he jokes. It will be exciting to see how the story progresses after receiving an overwhelming outpouring of love and support from its dedicated fanbase that has been nothing short of captivating!

Fubar Season 2 Cast: Who will reprise their roles in the new season?
Even though nothing has been officially confirmed about the cast of the second season, we predict that the main cast members who are expected to return and reprise their roles are as follows: Arnold Schwarzenegger as Luke Brunner, Monica Barbaro as Emma Bartholomina Brunner, Milan Carter as Bartholomew Tiberius “Barry” Putt, Gabriel Luna as Boro Polonia, Fortune Feimster as Ruth “Roo” Russell, Travis Van Winkle as Aldon C. Reese, Fabiana Udenio as Tallulah “Tally” Brunner, Jay Baruchel as Carter Perlmutter, Barbara Eve Harris as Dot, Aparna Brielle as Tina Mukerji, and Andy Buckley as Donatello “Donnie” Luna.
The recurring cast members include Devon Bostick as Oscar Brunner, David Chinchilla as Cain Khan, Stephanie Sy as Sandy, and Scott Thompson as Dr. Louis Pfeffer. In addition, Rachel Lynch also stars as Romi, Oscar and Sandy’s daughter, in the first season and is expected to return in the new one. Of course! These cast members are still subject to change, as some might reprise their roles and some might not, depending on the overall plot of the second season. Moreover, changes in the cast can happen due to the ongoing dual strikes, as the network might consider it as a part of cost-cutting.
Hence, we understand that amidst the endless array of Netflix’s original shows and movies being put on hold, there is always that lingering fear—what if some of the fan favorites suddenly disappear? Yet, in this uncertain realm of entertainment, one thing remains certain: Netflix knows how to keep its audience informed. While we eagerly speculate about the fate of some cast members, We are certain that Netflix will certainly inform the fans in the near future. Until then, all we can do is just speculate and hope for the best characters to stay in the series for another chapter!
Fubar Season 2 Official Episode Count: How many will be there, and where to stream?
The next season is expected to be consistent and include a total of 8 episodes with an average runtime of 45 to 59 minutes, just like the first season. On the other hand, the episode titles and synopsis of the series have not been released yet in order to avoid early spoilers. The network will publish those details when the episodes are due to air on the streaming service. So, we would advise fans to be patient and binge-watch all the prior seasons to recall the overall storyline.
When Fubar Season 2 draws close to its release date along with the first season, it will be available exclusively on Netflix, with other series of the same genre also accessible on the streaming platform with a range of membership options depending on the package you choose. On the other hand, the basic membership starts at $9.99/month, and the standard membership starts at $15.49/month at no additional cost with any of their services.
Fubar Season 2 Official Trailer: Has it been released?
Unfortunately, the network hasn’t released any teasers for the second season, as the filming hasn’t even begun, which leaves a lot of time for such a promotion to begin!
In the meantime, we urge readers to revisit the first season, which showcases, “Luke Brunner and his daughter Emma have lied to each other for years, neither of them knowing that the other is a CIA operative. Once they both learn the truth, they realize they do not actually know anything about each other. They are required by their superiors to work together on dangerous operations, leading to challenges when Luke treats Emma as a child and when he becomes overly concerned for her safety, and relationship conflicts.”
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 51% approval rating with an average rating of 5.4/10, based on 49 critic reviews. The website’s critics’ consensus reads, “With jokes that fall flat and a story that borrows liberally from star Arnold Schwarzenegger’s earlier career triumphs, Fubar is just OK.” On the other hand, Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 48 out of 100 based on 24 critics, indicating “mixed or average reviews.” Take a look at the official trailer for the first season below:
