Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Netflix action-comedy Fubar has been canceled after just two seasons.

The show, in which he starred alongside Monica Barbaro and Fortune Feimster, was the actor’s — who recently celebrated his 78th birthday — first foray into television.

According to Deadline, the series was dropped by the streamer amid a drop in viewership following its June 12 season two premiere.

The first season debuted in May 2023 and saw 11 million views in its premiere weekend, while the second installment had only 2.2 million in the same time frame.

Schwarzenegger announced that he would be starring in Fubar in 2021. 

At the time he said: ‘Fans from all over the world have been asking me for a wild ride like this for years, and now they’re finally going to get it because of our great partners at Skydance and Netflix.

I am beyond pumped to start work on the show with [creator] Nick [Santora] and Monica and the whole team.’

The spy drama featured Schwarzenegger as Luke, a CIA Operative who uncovers a family secret just before he plans to retire.

Barbaro starred as his daughter as he returns to work to complete one final job.

It also starred Milan Carter, Gabriel Luna, Travis Van Winkle, and Jay Baruchel among others.

In addition to creator, Nick Santora was showrunner and executive producer, alongside Schwarzenegger. 

Last August the show was accused of plagiarism.

A major plot point in the action series revolved around a supermarket app invented by Schwarzenegger’s character’s son.

But entrepreneur and former rock star Aharon Jason Curtis claimed in legal letters obtained by DailyMail.com that he came up with the idea for the app, called Aisle, in 2015.

The app tells users where grocery store items are located, plots a route through the store, reminds users of items they forgot, and allows them to scan bar codes.

Curtis, 55, said he only told two people: his manager at the time, who ‘now works as a writer specializing in scripts for action films and streaming series,’ and a friend ‘who is now a writer working at Netflix in Los Angeles.’

He said he was ‘shocked’ when he turned on the TV in September 2023 and saw his app idea featured in Fubar.

‘Mr. Curtis is prepared to forego litigation and provide a full release for a payment of $1.5 million,’ his lawyer’s letter said. ‘If we don’t hear from you, we intend to promptly commence a court action to vindicate Mr. Curtis’ rights.’
