The second season of FUBAR, a Netflix action-comedy series starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Monica Barbaro, has been filming in Canada and other locations since earlier this spring, but production is slated to visit the Czech Republic to shoot selected scenes in September. The action series is scheduled to briefly film in Prague’s city center next week.
FUBAR stars Schwarzenegger as Luke Brunner, a nearly-retired CIA agent who discovers that his estranged daughter Emma (Barbaro) is also working for the CIA. In the series’ first season, he joins her on a dangerous globetrotting mission to take down a powerful arms dealer.
Fabiana Udenio stars as Luke’s ex-wife and Emma’s mother, with Andy Buckley (The Office) as her new partner and Jay Baruchel as Emma’s unsuspecting schoolteacher boyfriend. Barbara Eve Harris, Milan Carter, Fortune Feimster, Travis Van Winkle, and Aparna Brielle star as CIA operatives assisting the Brunners. All will return in FUBAR’s second season.
Joining the series for season 2 of FUBAR is The Matrix‘s Carrie Anne-Moss (recently seen in the Disney+ series The Acolyte) as Greta Nelso, a former East German spy who had a Cold War fling with Luke and now turns villain as she “threatens to destroy the world… if she doesn’t destroy Luke’s life first.”
“Season 2 is bananas,” FUBAR creator Nick Santora (Reacher) told Netflix’s Tudum. “We’re coming up with some real fun surprises for FUBAR fans in Season 2, for sure.”
In Prague, production on FUBAR is slated to take place in areas by Prague’s Old Town Square next week. Areas reserved for production vehicles include portions of Dušní, Bílkova, Kozí, Haštalská, Široká, Vězeňská, and Pařížská streets by the Czech capital’s Old Town Square.
Additionally, production of FUBAR next week in Prague is slated to take place in areas by Obecní Dům including Revoluční, Králodvorská, and U Obecního domu streets, as well as areas around Těšnov, including Petrská street. Stillking Films is coordinating the local production of FUBAR in Prague.
Star Schwarzenegger hasn’t previously filmed a movie in Prague (FUBAR marks his TV series debut), but did film a commercial for Mobile Strike in Beroun in 2015. Though famously Austrian, the Hollywood star also has some traceable Czech heritage.
FUBAR isn’t the only spy series to recently shoot in Prague’s city center. The third season of Amazon’s Jack Ryan also filmed in the Czech capital, and its storyline even included a major Czech character.
Given Moss’ role as a former East German spy, and city center location shooting, it’s possible the Czech capital isn’t just a filming location in FUBAR‘s second season, but also figures into the storyline.
Based on the production schedule, the second season of FUBAR could hit Netflix at some point in 2025.
