Schwarzenegger also serves as an executive producer alongside creator and showrunner Nick Santora.

In a recent interview with Variety, Barbaro revealed that her off-screen dynamic with Schwarzenegger resembled their characters’ father-daughter history: “It was kind of perfect that we had this father-daughter dynamic, because we would just give each other shit all day. I think that helped us a lot to find that sort of familial chemistry. He was also kind enough to let me ask him anything about his experience and all of that”

In addition to Schwarzenegger’s comedy series, Netflix also recently released a three part docu-series “Arnold,” which chronicles how Schwarzenegger began his public persona as a famed body builder who transitioned to the world of action blockbusters, eventually pivoting to politics to become Governor of California.
