Netflix fans beg for ‘brilliant’ series to be saved – despite admitting it’s bad
The show hasn't raked in the numbers its first season did.
Netflix’s hit action-comedy series FUBAR has seen a plunge in viewership for its second season, leaving many fans worried the show could be cancelled.
The show, which dropped eight new episodes last week, follows a father-and-daughter duo, Luke and Emma Brunner, portrayed by The Terminator star Arnold Schwarzenegger and Oscar nominee Monica Barbaro.
When they discover they both secretly work for the CIA ‘their high-stakes missions get tangled up with awkward family dynamics.’
After the first season proved a smash success for the streamer in 2023 — topping the streaming charts and securing 25.57 million viewing hours in its first week — the second season seemed a sure bet.
However, the viewership numbers say otherwise. The second season only generated 2.2 million views over its opening weekend, marking an 80 percent drop-off from the first season’s 11m, Deadline reports.
