Production

Skydance Television first announced that it was developing an untitled spy television series for Arnold Schwarzenegger to star in and make his scripted live-action television debut in August 2020.[5] Shortly afterward, Monica Barbaro was cast as the lead opposite Schwarzenegger in the series where a father and daughter are both CIA agents, unbeknownst to the other.[6] Netflix won the rights for the project that November and had ordered eight episodes of the series by May 2021.[7] The cast was expanded in April 2022, announcing several regular and recurring roles.[8] Phil Abraham was announced as director and executive producer of the pilot episode in May,[4] and a July casting announcement added Adam Pally.[9] While in production, the series used the working titles Utap and FUBAR.[10][1]

Filming began in April 2022 in Antwerp, Belgium around Grote Markt.[11][12] Additional filming took place in Toronto.[13][14] In September 2022, filming is wrapped up with the series now titled FUBAR.[15]
