The second season of FUBAR, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, has had a disappointing debut on Netflix, achieving only 14.4 million hours viewed in its first week. This result is a shocking 80% lower than the 88.94 million hours recorded by the first season in 2023. The series, which arrived on the platform on June 12, barely managed to rank in the tenth position of the weekly Top 10 English series, and in the United States, it didn’t even reach sixth place.
Some numbers much lower than those of its first season or other series that did not survive cancellation
The comparisons with other recent releases are equally discouraging. For example, Archive 81 started with 22.22 million hours at its premiere and was quickly canceled. Likewise, other productions like Territorial and Kaos, which had better initial figures than those of FUBAR, also did not survive the harsh reality of the platform. This context reinforces the idea that, despite the possibility of FUBAR’s data improving in its second week, a cancellation seems imminent.
Although it is expected that the numbers will eventually grow, it has been observed that the series has not been able to stay in the Top 10, suggesting that soon new releases could push it down even further. In this sense, considering that the competition is intensifying with new premieres, the situation for FUBAR becomes more critical.
The future of the series seems lukewarm, and expectations are low. Many analysts agree that without a significant change in its performance, FUBAR will face a fate similar to that of other titles affected by cancellation in the recent past. The conjunction of factors plays a decisive role in this scenario, which will urge Netflix to rethink its content strategy.
