In a move to promote its upcoming lineup of action-adventure content, Netflix has appointed actor and former Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, as its Chief Action Officer. Schwarzenegger revealed his new role in a promotional video in which he drove his personal tank across Netflix’s headquarters in Los Angeles. In the video, he highlighted Netflix’s properties, including Extraction 2 and The Witcher, promising subscribers “the best action on earth.” Schwarzenegger even chopped a burrito in half with a sword in the promotional video. Netflix has been expanding its content offerings as it faces stiff competition from rivals like Disney+.
The appointment of Schwarzenegger as Chief Action Officer follows news that Netflix recently acquired an additional five million monthly active users for its ad-supported plan, which sent shares up by 10%. Although it is unclear what his new role will entail, the appointment of Schwarzenegger is undoubtedly an effort to bolster Netflix’s content offerings as it competes against Disney’s vast library and HBO’s content lineup.
Schwarzenegger’s TV Debut in “Fubar”
The actor’s television debut will also air on Netflix on May 25. The action-comedy “Fubar” follows the story of a father and daughter, who discover they have both been CIA operatives for years without each other’s knowledge. As they team up to tackle global espionage, they also try to mend their fractured relationship. The eight-episode series is produced by Skydance, and Schwarzenegger uses his comedic and brawny action talents to entertain viewers.
The show is reflective of Schwarzenegger’s age, with him insisting on it being “sweet” and fun, similar to “a True Lies-type thing”. Schwarzenegger’s spy adventure is an addition to Netflix’s broad range of original programming, giving subscribers more compelling reasons to keep coming back.
Other Upcoming Programs on Netflix
Netflix’s upcoming lineup of content includes a diverse range of documentaries, including MerPeople, which follows underwater performers who build their careers on their love of mermaids. Victim/Suspect is another of Netflix’s documentaries that explore a series of sexual assault crimes where the victims were charged with making false reports.
There are several exciting upcoming miniseries and films, such as the Wanda Sykes comedy show and the German-language thriller, Blood & Gold. The latter, which takes place as the Second World War draws to a close, could be an interesting addition to Netflix’s original programming lineup.
Conclusion
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s television debut, combined with his appointment as Netflix’s Chief Action Officer, is a creative and humorous promotional campaign that is focused on highlighting Netflix’s new lineup of content. It is unclear what exactly Schwarzenegger’s new role will involve, but there is no doubt that his inclusion in Netflix’s marketing strategy will generate more interest in its shows. With the addition of several exciting documentaries, miniseries, and movies, Netflix aims to provide viewers with a diversified collection of original programming. As competition grows in the streaming industry, such endeavors are necessary to keep subscribers engaged.
