For those not yet in the know, FUBAR follows the thrilling escapades of a father-daughter duo with a secret: they've both been covertly working for the CIA, unbeknownst to each other. But when their double lives collide, they're thrust into a whirlwind of espionage, explosions, and unexpected family bonding. It's a rollercoaster ride of laughs and adrenaline that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats! The official synopsis, as per Netflix's Media Center, reads:

"A father and daughter have both been working as CIA Operatives for years, but each kept their involvement in the CIA hidden from the other, resulting in their entire relationship being a gigantic lie. Upon learning of each other’s involvement in the CIA, the pair are forced to work together as partners, and against the backdrop of explosive action, and espionage, learn who each other really are."

As of early May 2024, an official release date for the second season of FUBAR has not been announced. However, based on past timelines, we can make an educated guess!

Historically, there was approximately a 12-month gap between the filming and release of season 1 on Netflix. Considering this, it's reasonable to anticipate a similar timeframe for season 2. Therefore, viewers may need to wait at least 12 months from the start of filming for the new season to hit our screens.

Taking these factors into account, we can expect FUBAR season 2 to land on Netflix sometime in early to mid-2025.

Stay tuned for further updates as we eagerly await the return of our favorite CIA duo!

FUBAR season 1 is now streaming on Netflix!
