Returning action show with "close-shave thrills" drops new episodes on Netflix today
Action comedy series FUBAR has returned on Netflix with new episodes.
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.

How big will ‘How to Train Your Dragon' be? Opening weekend for live-action remake could hit $80M
Universal's How to Train Your Dragon, a live-action remake of the 2010 animated film based on Cressida Cowell's 2003 novel, takes flight in theaters this weekend. Directed by Dean DeBlois, the film is poised to ignite the 2025 box office, with a projected blockbuster debut of $80 million. The action-fantasy film is soaring to an impressive start, raking in over $11 million during early previews, according to Deadline. These figures are comparable to Frozen II's preview gross in 2019, which ultimately launched with a $130 million opening weekend. How to Train Your Dragon is bolstered by a stellar 99 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and a "certified fresh" rating from critics, currently sitting at 77 percent. More from GoldDerby 'Agatha All Along' star Ali Ahn: Getting Patti LuPone's approval while singing was 'like I had died and gone to heaven' Inside 'The Daily Show': The team behind the satirical news series on politics, puppies, punchlines - and staying sane Ripped from the headlines: How the showrunners of 'Monsters,' 'Apple Cider Vinegar' and 'Good American Family' mined truth for drama The How to Train Your Dragon animated trilogy, which grossed a combined $1.6 billion worldwide and earned four Oscar nominations, set a high bar for success. The live-action remake, however, is poised to soar even higher at the box office. The strongest opening of the original trilogy came from How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World in 2019, which earned $55 million in its first weekend. Also debuting this weekend is Celine Song's Materialists from A24, the highly anticipated follow-up to her Oscar-nominated feature debut, Past Lives. Meanwhile, Mike Flanagan's The Life of Chuck, a potential awards contender and winner of the People's Choice Award at last September's Toronto International Film Festival, expands to wide release courtesy of Neon. Gold Derby readers predict that How to Train Your Dragon will win the June 13-15 weekend with between $75 million and $100 million domestically. Lilo & Stitch is the runner-up selection of our oddsmakers. NEW RELEASES Director: Dean Deblois Distributor: Universal Pictures As an ancient threat endangers both Vikings and dragons alike on the isle of Berk, the friendship between Hiccup, an inventive Viking, and Toothless, a Night Fury dragon, becomes the key to both species forging a new future together. The live-action remake, starring Mason Thames, Nico Parker, and Gerard Butler, has a running time of two hours, five minutes, and is rated PG. How to Train Your Dragon is certified "fresh" with a 77 percent score per the aggregated critic reviews at Rotten Tomatoes; "mixed" reviews compiled by Metacritic resulted in an overall score of 60 percent. Director: Celine Song Distributor: A24 A young, ambitious New York City matchmaker finds herself torn between the perfect match and her imperfect ex. The romantic comedy, starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal, has a running time of one hour, 56 minutes, and is rated R. Materialists is certified "fresh" with a 87 percent score per the aggregated critic reviews at Rotten Tomatoes; "generally favorable" reviews compiled by Metacritic resulted in an overall score of 70 percent. BOX-OFFICE PREDICTIONS How to Train Your Dragon will keep the box-office fires burning with an $80 million opening weekend, with more optimistic projections suggesting it could reach the $100 million mark. Holding steady in second place is Disney's Lilo & Stitch, which will add another $14 million to its $348 million domestic total (and $807 million worldwide), cementing its status as the year's second-biggest release behind Warner Bros.' A Minecraft Movie. The Materialists is expected to debut in third place with a strong $13 million opening. Completing the top five are Lionsgate's Ballerina, which is expected to earn $12 million, and Paramount's Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, pulling in $9 million. Here are Gold Derby's predictions box-office rankings for the top five: 1. How to Train Your Dragon 2. Lilo & Stitch 3. Materialists 4. Ballerina 5.
