target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Deadline<\/a>, the cancellation of the show was due to a drop in viewership after its June season two premiere.<\/p>\n<p>The first season of Fubar debuted in May 2023 and saw a whopping 11 million views, while the second series had only 2.2 million in the same weekend time frame.<\/p>\n<p>Schwarzenegger announced that he would be starring in Fubar in 2021, sharing: \u2018Fans 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.<\/p>\n<div class=\"factbox\" data-ico=\"factbox_article\" data-track-module=\"factbox_article\">\n<h2 class=\"factbox-title\">\n\t\t\t\tGet personalised updates on all things
