Returning action show with "close-shave thrills" drops new episodes on Netflix today
The series, which stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, follows a CIA agent who learns that his adult daughter is also secretly working for the CIA, before they are paired up for an undercover mission.
Two years after the first season debuted, the second has dropped all eight episodes as of today.
Alongside Schwarzenegger, the series features A Complete Unknown's Monica Barbaro, as well as Warped!'s Milan Carter, The Mindy Project's Fortune Feimster, and You's Travis Van Winkle.
After its debut, FUBAR was quickly renewed for a second season, having attracted big viewing figures of 88.94 million hours in its first four days of release.

Speaking after the renewal news, Schwarzenegger said on social media: "It was really interesting how many of the fans loved the last episode. Because the interesting thing is, it is also my favourite episode. I don't want to give it away, but there is some really wild stuff and it really sets it up for the next season."
The first season of the show garnered a more mixed reception with critics, however, earning a 50% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes from 58 reviews.
"This is a fun, fundamentally unserious save-the-world romp with close-shave thrills, nonsensical plots and breezy comic relief. But that's it and that's all," wrote the Financial Times.

The Evening Standard added: "It's fairly standard fare which is a perfectly acceptable vehicle for Arnie coming back, but which also feels a little bit like a wasted opportunity."
In a more scathing review, USA Today called the show an "embarrassment", adding: "The series is all cliché, followed by painful cringe and then rounded out by dumbfounded confusion. There are humans talking, but I don't believe humans wrote the dialogue."
FUBAR seasons 1-2 are streaming now on Netflix.

‘Elio' Is Now Streaming—How To Watch The New Pixar Film At Home
Missed Elio in theaters? Now's your chance to see the interstellar Pixar adventure at home. The animated feature is now available for streaming two months after its theatrical release. Read on to find out how to purchase or rent the family-friendly film for your next movie night. Elio follows the story of an 11-year-old orphan, Elio, who feels so alone that his biggest wish is to be abducted by aliens. Living with his aunt, Tía Olga, the boy's journey unexpectedly brings him face-to-face with galactic creatures — and far more responsibility than he ever imagined. 'Elio, an underdog with an active imagination, finds himself inadvertently beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide,' the synopsis reads. 'Mistakenly identified as Earth's ambassador to the rest of the universe, he starts to form new bonds with eccentric aliens while discovering who he's truly meant to be.' Unfortunately, Elio turned out to be a meteor-sized box office flop, making its digital and eventual Disney+ release even more critical to the studio. The film grossed $147 million worldwide against a reported budget of $150 million, earning just $72 million in domestic sales, according to Box Office Mojo. Despite Elio's disappointment in theaters, the film resonated strongly with those who saw it. Moviegoers and critics alike gave the animated adventure high marks, with the movie earning a solid 83% critics score and an impressive 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Ready to stream Pixar's new animated sci-fi film Elio? Here's everything to know about its digital release and when it could arrive on Disney+. How To Watch Elio At Home Elio is currently available to stream on video-on-demand platforms, including Prime Video, Apple TV+ and Fandango at Home. You can purchase Elio for $29.99 or rent the film for $24.99. For rentals, you have 30 days to start watching the video and 48 hours to finish once started. When Will Elio Be Released on Blu-ray and DVD? The latest Pixar film will be available on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on Sept. 9. The digital and Blu-ray versions of Elio will have hours of exclusive bonus content, including stronautic and artistic featurettes plus a gag reel, deleted scenes, and a peek at Pixar's Easter Egg inclusions, according to a press release. Additionally, the 4K UHD will be available in a collectible limited edition SteelBook® with astronomically appealing artwork and packaging. Check out the full list of bonus features below: Note: Bonus features may vary by product and retailer Which Streaming Service Will Elio Land On? Elio is a Pixar Animation Studios film, meaning it will eventually be available to stream on Disney+. Elio will likely arrive on the platform three to four months after its theatrical premiere, which would be sometime around late September or October. For comparison, the blockbuster live-action Lilo & Stitch will stream on Disney+ in early September, exactly four months after its theatrical debut. Moana, which premiered in theaters in November 2024, arrived on Disney+ in March 2025 — just over three months later. 2024's Mufasa: The Lion King had a slightly shorter theatrical window of 96 days, but still appeared on Disney+ more than three months after its release. Stay tuned to learn when Elio will be streaming on Disney+. Check out the official trailer for the movie below.

Dept. Q Season 2: Latest updates on renewal status, release date, cast and plot details
By Aman Shukla Published on August 19, 2025, 18:00 IST Last updated August 19, 2025, 10:38 IST Fans can't get enough of Dept. Q after its first season on Netflix. Based on Jussi Adler-Olsen's hit Danish novels, the crime drama has everyone buzzing about what's next. Here's the full rundown on Dept. Q Season 2—renewal news, release date guesses, who's in the cast, and what the story might hold. Has Dept. Q Season 2 Been Confirmed? Good news: Netflix gave Dept. Q the green light for a second season. A post on X from whatonnetflix on August 19, 2025, spilled the beans, confirming Matthew Goode will be back as the moody Carl Morck. The show's a hit, with an 86% critic score and 93% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, plus it climbed the Top 10 in 72 countries. Netflix even pushed it for Emmy nods in the Best Drama Series category, showing they're all in. That said, fans might need to chill for a bit, since Netflix often takes its time with new seasons. When Could Dept. Q Season 2 Drop? No official date yet for Dept. Q Season 2, but some detective work on production timelines gives a rough idea. Season 1 filmed from February to June 2024 and hit screens on May 29, 2025—about 15 months later. If Season 2 starts shooting in early 2026, expect a premiere sometime between late 2026 and early 2027, maybe September 2026 to March 2027. A few folks online are hoping for May 2026, but that's probably too soon. Figure on waiting at least 18 months from Season 1's debut, so late 2026 or early 2027 feels right. Who's Coming Back for Dept. Q Season 2 Cast? The cast is a big reason Dept. Q shines, and Season 2 should bring back the main players who made the first season click. Based on how Season 1 wrapped and what the actors have said, here's the likely lineup: Matthew Goode as DCI Carl Morck Jamie Sives as DCI James Hardy Alexej Manvelov as Akram Salim Leah Byrne as Detective Constable Rose Dickson Kelly Macdonald as Dr. Rachel Irving Chloe Pirrie as Merritt Lingard Mark Bonnar as Stephen Burns Expect some fresh faces too, especially if a new case brings in new suspects or victims, which is par for the course in crime shows. What to Expect in Dept. Q Season 2? Season 1, drawn from The Keeper of Lost Causes , followed Carl and his team cracking a four-year-old kidnapping case involving prosecutor Merritt Lingard, uncovering corruption along the way. The finale tied up that mystery but left the Leith Park shooting—where Carl got hurt, Hardy was paralyzed, and a rookie cop died—wide open, setting up a juicy thread for Season 2. If the show sticks to Adler-Olsen's books, Season 2 will likely tackle The Absent One , the second novel. It's about a 20-year-old double murder of a brother and sister, with a killer already behind bars. Carl smells something off about the confession and starts digging, linking the case to a fancy boarding school and a homeless woman named Kimmie who knows too much. Big shots want her quiet, which ramps up the danger. Scott Frank told Collider they'll mix this cold case with a current investigation, maybe tying it to corruption or the team's personal baggage. The Leith Park shooting could weave in too, with Carl chasing leads on whether it was a hit tied to gangster Eugene Errington. Fans can expect more of Carl's guilt, Hardy's comeback, Akram's secrets, and Rose's rise, all from their dingy basement HQ, now funded. Word is Season 2 might be shorter, maybe six episodes instead of nine, for a tighter story. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
