Arnold Schwarzenegger And Carrie Anne-Moss On ‘FUBAR' Season 2's Tango Scene And More
Carrie-Anne Moss and Arnold Schwarzenegger in "FUBAR" Season 2.
The hit Netflix action comedy FUBAR is back with Season 2 and as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carrie Anne-Moss found out, series creator Nick Santora had some tricky moves in store for his stars.
Moss is new to the FUBAR cast after the success of Season 1 of the series in 2023. In FUBAR Season 1, retiring CIA Agent Luke Brunner (Schwarzenegger) gets the shock of his life on his final mission when he discovers a fellow agent he needs to rescue from a dangerous situation is his daughter, Emma (Monica Barbaro).
To begin FUBAR Season 2 — which premieres on Netflix on Thursday — Luke, Emma and their fellow CIA team and family members are stuck living together in a safe house after ending the events of Season 1 in peril. The danger isn't over yet for the group, though, since a mysterious crime figure is planning to take down the entire U.S. power grid, which will plunge the world into chaos unless Luke and his team can stop it.
One of the people they must go through to thwart the plans, however, is Greta Nelso (Moss), a former East German spy whom Luke had a romance with during the Cold War.

In the second episode of FUBAR Season 2, Schwarzenegger and Moss stage one of their most complicated scenes of the series, and it had less to do with action and more to do with dancing. As such, Schwarzenegger admitted in a Zoom conversation Tuesday that his and Moss' tango to flamenco music had him a bit nervous so he made sure he was well-rehearsed.
'There are certain scenes where I'm a little bit worried and that was one of the scenes,' Schwarzenegger said. 'I felt like, 'I don't know what it's gonna be like working with Carrie Anne' since I did not know her at the point when I read the scene."
That all changed, though, when the two started practicing the dance scene together. But, Schwarzenegger added, dancing was only one of the key elements of the scene.
'Right away I felt relaxed because I felt like there was someone that believed, just like I did in doing a lot of reps to get in there and to work really hard,' Schwarzenegger noted. '[Plus we needed to] study the lines because it was four pages of dialogue during the dance sequence that we had to deliver and to make it fun at the same time.
'So for us to pick it up and to really be well prepared was the most important thing,' Schwarzenegger added. 'Carrie-Anne was just such a joy to work with, and I think because of her, we were able to put it off and make it one of the favorite scenes in the TV series.'
Carrie-Anne Moss' Greta Nelso proves she's a force to be reckoned with from the minute she appears on screen opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger in FUBAR Season 2.
In the same Zoom conversation with Schwarzenegger, Moss said she loved bringing a wicked vibe to Greta, who has an amped-up Bond villain sort of charisma.
I think she was written really well, and it was explained to me very clearly,' said of the role created by showrunner Nick Santora, who is also the acclaimed writer-producer behind the Prime Video hit Reacher. 'And then it's my job to try to slip in there and make it my own. I really enjoy playing characters that are just outrageous, [which is something] that I don't get to do that very often.'
As such, Moss said she loved having the opportunity to be a commanding presence in FUBAR Season 2 and do things like 'walk into the room and smack Luke's butt with grace.'
'I mean, who does that, right? I mean, what woman does that in cinema?' Moss said. 'If we saw a guy doing that and we would be horrified. We'd be like [mimics a 'shocked' look]. But there's something so funny about her and that kind of confidence.'
Also starring Fortune Feimster, Milan Carter, Travis Van Winkle, Fabiana Udenio, Jay Baruchel, Aparna Brielle, Andy Buckley and Scott Thompson, all eight episodes of FUBAR Season 2 — as well as Season 1 — are now streaming on Netflix.
