In the latest issue of Schwarzenegger’s newsletter, titled ‘My Unreasonable Birthday Goals’, he revealed that his hectic schedule hasn’t left him time for much else. “I am shooting almost every day for 12 hours a day, and I am having a great time with a fantastic cast and crew, but I don’t have time for almost anything else,” he wrote.

Always a believer in goal-oriented productivity, when Schwarzenegger becomes invested in a project, not a lot can distract him. “As you all know, I believe in the Focus Principle, that whatever I am doing, I am doing 100%,” he continued. Naturally, the last newsletter he released was 4 months ago.

FUBAR brings Schwarzenegger’s first step onto scripted television

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s first film on the silver screen, titled Hercules of New York, was released in 1970. Since then, he has made over 40 films, the biggest grossing action films of that time, and a name for himself. However, FUBAR will mark the bodybuilder’s attempt at scripted television.

FUBAR stands as an acronym for “F***ed Up Beyond All Repair”, the series originally developed at Skydance Television. The plot follows a father (Schwarzenegger) and his daughter (Monica Barbaro) who uncover each other’s identities as CIA operatives. Their relationship becomes uncertain, and the spy thriller doubles as a family adventure.

Skydance also remains the company responsible for Schwarzenegger’s signature Terminator franchise. Naturally, the fans eagerly await the release of the bodybuilder’s newest project.
