FUBAR Season 2 Netflix Renewal Status

Our renewal prediction: probable renewal
The series was officially renewed at Netflix’s TUDUM event in Brazil on June 17, 2023. The announcement came along with a blunder clip from the first season.
We predicted a revamp in early June, citing by FUBAR upcoming appearance on TUDUM but also for the show’s strong performance in its first few weeks on the service.
how good it is FUBAR Made on Netflix?
We can see by FUBAR performance in its first month thanks to numerous sources, which gives us an idea of how well the show is doing.
Let’s start with Netflix’s own stats provided via the Top 10 site.
Here is the hourly performance week by week for FUBAR so far with three weeks of data.
| week period | Hours seen (M) | Range | Week in the Top 10 |
|---|---|---|---|
| May 21, 2023 to May 28, 2023 | 88,940,000 | 1 | 1 |

| June 4, 2023 to June 11, 2023 | 42,280,000 (-52%) | 3 | 3 |
Although the show did not increase its viewership from week 1 to week 2, we did see notable retention, especially given the strong week 1 number. If we compare the show’s performance to other Netflix original series that have been renewed and have genres relatively similar, we can see that the program is working well from week 2.

what to expect from FUBAR Season 2?
Tina as a Russian double agent!?
The biggest twist of the season came towards the end of the season when it was revealed that Tina is a Russian double agent who has been spying on the CIA and NSA all along. She hasn’t revealed her true motives yet, but she might be trying to drain every last drop of information she can get from the CIA before informing the Russian comrades about her.
Why is Tina helping Luke and the CIA?
Despite being a Russian double agent, her true motives have yet to be revealed. Also, helping Luke, Emma, and the other secret CIA agents is a great way to hide her identity and continue spying on the CIA.

When could we expect to see a second season of FUBAR on netflix?
Release dates are particularly difficult to predict with the ongoing WGA strike.
Filming for the first season reportedly occurred between May 2, 2022 and August 25, 2022. This means that the time between the start of filming and the series’ release on Netflix was just over 12 months.
Between pre-production, filming and post-production, at the very least, it could take anywhere from fourteen to fifteen months.
Given all this, we are not expecting FUBAR return until at least mid to late 2024.
