FUBAR Interview: Jay Baruchel & Gabriel Luna Were in Awe of Arnold Schwarzenegger on Set

Ahead of it’s Netflix premiere on May 25, Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke with two of the stars from the cast of FUBAR, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The series is an action comedy from showrunner and executive producer Nick Santora (Prison Break), that puts a hold on Schwarzenegger’s in-series retirement and sees him return to bullet-dodging, Jeep-hopping explosive action. While promoting the show, co-stars Jay Baruchel (BlackBerry) and Gabriel Luna (The Last of Us) rave with Weintraub about sharing screentime with The Terminator and discuss their time on set.

FUBAR takes cinematic action set pieces and box office stars like Schwarzenegger, and gives us an eight-episode series about CIA operative, Luke Brunner (Schwarzenegger), who’s completed his final mission and is ready to retire. With big plans to win back his ex-wife Tally (played by Fabiana Udenio) and reconnet with his daughter Emma, played by Top Gun: Maverick’s Monica Barbaro, Luke is surprised to learn he has one last assignment. When he travels to extract a fellow operative under the codename Panda, Luke and his daughter Emma find out they have a lot more in common than they knew, and a lot to unpack. FUBAR also features Travis Van Winkle, Adam Pally, and Fortune Feimster.

In their interview, which you can watch or read below, Baruchel and Luna, who play Carter and Boro respectively, talk about what it’s like to work alongside a childhood hero, their favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, Schnitzel Fridays, and which episodes are their favorites. Luna also discusses being “overwhelmed” by the positive reception for The Last of Us.
