00:00I swear I'm not trying to be like that guy, but I gotta practice.

00:04I'm gonna bring my guitar to our little like holding area.

00:08But it was actually really sweet.

00:10Turns out Travis can play, turns out Fortune can play,

00:13and she's a beautiful singing voice.

00:16And Arnold really was enjoying listening to everyone,

00:18so it actually became really, really fun.

00:22FUBAR is back for a second season of high-octane action and major laughs.

00:26Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carrie-Anne Moss, Monica Barbaro, and the rest of the cast

00:31spoke to The Hollywood Reporter all about the new season.

00:34And Barbaro even revealed how she balanced filming the Netflix series

00:37and a complete unknown at the same time.

00:39I'm very protective of my team.

00:43Witness protection was our only choice.

00:45But all of us living under one roof can get awkward.

00:49So this show really has everything.

00:51Action, comedy, drama, romance.

00:54How has it all taken to the next level this season?

00:57They increased the amount of action.

01:00They increased the amount of intensity.

01:02And the humor also.

01:05It's very, very funny.

01:06Some of the scenes are very, very funny.

01:08And what's really interesting is that towards the end,

01:11it's really ramping up.

01:13The stakes are getting higher.

01:14The drama is getting higher.

01:15The comedy is getting more and more and more.

01:17And I said, oh my God, oh my God, it's like wild.

01:19I think we really leaned into the ridiculousness of the show

01:23and just sort of embraced that world of just not taking ourselves too seriously

01:28but giving you a little bit extra of everything.

01:31And I think this season we really turned the show.

01:33As soon as you think it's just all jokes, boom.

01:37It gets flipped on its head.

01:38It's like something crazy is going down.

01:40As soon as you think it's like, oh, it's the heaviest show, boom.

01:43Here comes a crazy joke that's fine and that you don't see coming.

01:46I just love the fact that we're all relatively dysfunctional

01:49but we're trying to save the world.

01:51And so you have this group of people that don't seem qualified to save the world

01:56yet somehow we do a pretty good job.

01:58Not bad.

01:59Moss joins the show for season two as Greta,

02:02a former East German spy who has a romantic history

02:05with Schwarzenegger's character Luke Bruner.

02:07How would you say Greta challenges Luke this season?

02:10I love that she just meets him straight on.

02:12You know, Arnold, as an actor, as a person,

02:18as the icon that he is, to go toe-to-toe with that

02:21is asking an actress to really hold that space,

02:26which I was excited to do, to have those scenes.

02:31When I read the dancing scene, I was like, I have to do this.

02:34I want to do that tango with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

02:37Well, I mean, she came equipped with the experience that she has

02:46from Matrix, from all her past shows.

02:51She knows how to do action.

02:53She knows how to fight.

02:54She knows how to do all of that.

02:56And so I think that really added a lot to the second season now.

03:00She really was a great, great addition.

03:02I was very excited about having her there and working with her on the set.

03:08And especially the dance sequence, yeah, that was really fun

03:10because she's much more natural with the dancing than I am.

03:14I'm not that good with it.

03:16So I have to kind of like, she does it like four times or five times in rehearsals.

03:21And I did like 10, 12 times rehearsals, you know.

03:25Hello, Luke.

03:27Greta.

03:29Since season one of FUBAR was released over two years ago,

03:32Barbaro, who plays Emma Bruner, has become an Oscar nominee.

03:36She received a Best Supporting Actress nomination earlier this year

03:39for her portrayal of Joan Baez in A Complete Unknown.

03:42I heard you were filming season two of this show and A Complete Unknown at the same time.

03:46Yes, yeah, there was about a month of crossover,

03:49over the end of A Complete Unknown and the beginning of this season.

03:52How did you balance that?

03:53Oh, God.

03:54I don't know if I did balance.

03:56I survived, so there's that.

03:58But I just really owe it to our line producer on FUBAR

04:02who like figured out the scheduling of this

04:05and sort of moved mountains in order to make it work.

04:07And the cast of FUBAR was just so, so generous.

04:11We were shooting three episodes at a time

04:13just to make sure the schedule could work.

04:16It was pretty wild.

04:17I was flying back and forth between New York, New Jersey, and Toronto.

04:21And like everyone was so patient and wonderful.

04:24And yeah, I kind of can't believe we made it work.

04:27And I'm so glad they did.

04:29She learned 11 songs for it.

04:31She had her guitar on set.

04:32She was so committed and dedicated.

04:35To see what it took for her to get there and be rewarded for it was really cool.

04:40So she was bouncing from set to set.

04:42And we were hearing about her experience as she would come back to film with us.

04:45We hear about the things that she just went through.

04:47And it's just really impressive the amount of herself that she threw into that role.

04:52The movie was a complete unknown, amazing film.

04:55She crushed it.

04:56Yeah, they say hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work.

04:59Monica is talented and she works hard.

05:02So it's amazing to see her flourish and she deserves everything that comes her way.

05:06Season 2 of FUBAR is now streaming on Netflix.

05:09For The Hollywood Reporter News, I'm Tiffany Taylor.
