Arnold Schwarzenegger documentary is coming to Netflix

The show will also explore Schwarzenegger's other ventures, including his time as a bodybuilder and his eight-year stint as the Governor of California, which proved somewhat divisive among fans.

According to Deadline, Schwarzenegger has sat for a number of candid interviews which touch on both his personal and professional life, while "friends, foes, co-stars and observers" will also feature in the piece.

The project comes from director Lesley Chilcott (An Inconvenient Truth) and executive producer Allen Hughes, who recently worked on five-part docuseries Dear Mama which explored the life of late rapper Tupac Shakur.

The documentary will be released less than two weeks after FUBAR, a new action-drama from Nick Santorra (Reacher, Prison Break), which stars Schwarzenegger in his first ever television and streaming series role.

He plays Luke Brunner, a CIA operative on the brink of retirement who is called back into the field for one last job after discovering a shocking family secret.

The one-two punch of FUBAR and Arnold could spark a major comeback for Schwarzenegger, whose acting career has been relatively quiet in recent years, with 2019's Terminator: Dark Fate being his last major project.

Arnold is coming to Netflix on Wednesday 7th June 2023. Sign up for Netflix from £4.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
