The TV show Fubar had run its course after Netflix cancelled it after two seasons.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was the central star of the series. He portrayed the role of Luke Brunner. Monica Barbaro was his co-star, and she played the role of Emma Brunner. It’s a disappointing finish because the cast had talent and the show was doing well in viewership.
Fubar’s Season One was a success, but the show waited two years for Season Two to stream, and then the number of viewers decreased. According to Deadline, the second season reached No. 7 in its first week with 3.3 million views. Fubar didn’t make it to Netflix’s Top 10 in the English language series in the first week.
It does come as a surprise to many viewers because the show didn’t receive a fair shake. Netflix has high standards. The streaming giants don’t believe in being “good” or “average.” Netflix cancelled other shows such as “The Recruit,” “The Residence,” and many more.
Netflix subscribers will now rely on shows like Wednesday and Stranger Things. We can’t help but wonder where Schwarzenegger will go from here. As for Barbaro, she’s got more opportunities heading her way. She has received a nomination for her performance in A Complete Unknown.
