Netflix and Skydance Television have announced nine new actors for its Arnold Schwarzenegger series (referred to in the press as Fubar). The spy adventure series is adding several series regulars, including Gabriel Luna (Terminator: Dark Fate), Travis Van Winkle (You), Fortune Feimster (The Mindy Project), Jay Baruchel (How to Train Your Dragon series), Milan Carter (Dolemite Is My Name), Fabiana Udenio (Jane the Virgin), Barbara Eve Harris (Station 19), Aparna Brielle (A.P. Bio), and Andy Buckley (Jurassic World).
Furthermore, the series welcomes five recurring actors, Devon Bostick (Oppenheimer), David Chinchilla (Reacher), Stephanie Sy (Nobody), Scott Thompson (The Kids in the Hall), and Rachel Lynch.
According to Schwarzenegger, the untitled series “is a television series based on True Lies. I’m a secret agent, but my family doesn’t know that I am a secret agent. As the story develops, I don’t know that my daughter, who I thought was a peace core worker overseas, is also actually a secret agent. So, it’s comedy and action all combined like True Lies.”
Here are the characters played by everyone we’ve listed above:
REGULARS:
Travis Van Winkle will play “Aldon,” a great CIA officer and world-class wise-ass who is a kind and sweet man under it all.
Milan Carter will play “Barry,” a loveable man-child and proud nerd who is an American CIA officer that has worked closely with Luke for the past 20 years. Barry is a kind and brilliant officer who keeps Luke and his team safe while staying far away from the action.
Fortune Feimster will play “Roo” (short for Ruth), a brilliant, sarcastic CIA Officer who looks up to Luke as a father figure.
Jay Baruchel will play “Carter,” the sweet and unsuspecting boyfriend of Emma (Monica Barbaro). Carter is a kindergarten teacher who has been made to believe his CIA officer girlfriend works for a non-profit that provides clean water to those in need around the world. He prioritizes family above all, but his love for Emma will be put to the test when he finds out many secrets about her.
Gabriel Luna will play “Boro,” an incredibly charismatic, Oxford-educated businessman who’s chosen to apply those skills to a career in the illegal arms trade.
Aparna Brielle will play “Tina,” an NSA analyst on loan to the CIA. Despite her youth, she is very good at her job – competent and intelligent, though a bit intimidated by her new colleagues.
Fabiana Udenio will play “Tally,” Luke’s ex-wife and Emma’s mother. She does not know that the two are in the CIA but has always been suspicious of Luke’s frequent “business trips,” which creates distance in their relationship. Tally now has a new man in her life, but the chemistry between her and Luke is still palpable.
Andy Buckley will play “Donnie,” Tally’s current boyfriend, who is an easy-going fellow. He is a thoughtful and positive presence in Tally’s life, but that positivity fades when he realizes Luke (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is trying to win Tally back.
Barbara Eve Harris will play “Dot,” the Regional CIA Director. Intelligent, commanding, intimidating – Dot suffers no fools.
RECURRING:
Devon Bostick will play “Oscar.” Luke and Tally’s son and an aspiring app developer who has never lived up to his father’s expectations.
David Chinchilla will play “Cain Khan,” Boro’s intimidating first lieutenant, working in the illegal arms business.
Stephanie Sy will play “Sandy,” Oscar’s supportive wife and mother of their daughter, Romi.
Scott Thompson will play “Dr. Louis Pfeffer,” an operational psychologist at the CIA responsible for conducting joint therapy sessions with Luke and Emma.
Rachel Lynch is playing “Romi,” Sandy and Oscar’s sweet 6-year-old kid, who has a special relationship with her “pee-pa,” Luke.
