“I Am Taking Over”: Ahead of His First Ever OTT Release, Arnold Schwarzenegger Gets a Special Surprise From Netflix

After his record setting bodybuilding career, Arnold Schwarzenegger tried his hand in the world of acting. As history speaks for itself, his acting acreer was a massive success too. Arnie even dominated the action movie genre for almost the entirety of the 80s and early 90s. Though he took a break from his acting career for a long time to focus on his political career, actor Schwarzenegger is now, poised to make a comeback.

With Arnold Schwarzenegger set to make a fresh start with his upcoming OTT series, the Terminator is ready to take over once again. To celebrate the legend’s return to the silver screen, Netflix has a little surprise for him. In a recent Twitter update, the 75-year-old shared his plans for the near future.

Arnold Schwarzenegger OTT domination time?

Arnold Schwarzenegger is gearing up to make his OTT debut with Netflix’s FUBAR. FUBAR stands for ‘Fu**ed Up Beyond Repair.’ The first episode of the spy-adventure comedy-drama will release on 25th May 2023 in the U.S. However, ahead of his debut, Netflix has decided to honor the legacy of the Austrian Oak. They have done so by adding a collection of Schwarzenegger’s top hits on Netflix.

Late on 6th May 2023, the official handle of Netflix tweeted, “Are you ready for some classic Arnie? 🍿🎬 We’re thrilled to present the Arnold @Schwarzenegger collection.” While replying to this tweet, Schwarzenegger revealed that he is coming back to take control. “I’m taking over,” he tweeted.

Arnie’s actions in the recent past can vouch these aren’t just empty words. It is to be noted, ever since his affiliation with this project, Schwarzenegger has taken control over how things will go. A very strong example was when the first trailer of the series came out.

Schwarzenegger before Netflix

Earlier this year, in February, Arnold Schwarzenegger had taken matters into his own hands during the trailer release. Before Netflix did it, Schwarzenegger had released the first look of the series exclusively for his fans. They were caught off guard by the sudden announcement as both the actor and the platform had been secretive about the show until that point.

No news about the series or its release was shared before Schwarzenegger dropped the trailer. Arnie had added the trailer’s link to one of his newsletter updates, giving early access to his readers. Furthermore, he hoped that his readers were as excited as him to be among the first ones in the world to see a glimpse of his upcoming show.
