Arnold Schwarzenegger will headline and executive produce a TV series that will be developed by Skydance Television. Though the actor took on several TV roles in his early career, he has never served in the lead role in a scripted live-action series. So, this will be his first foray into scripted television.

 

Nick Santora, the creator of Scorpion, will create the TV series. The TV series features a spy adventure in which the story would revolve around a father and daughter. Deadline reports that Arnold Schwarzenegger will likely play the role of the father while the casting for the daughter’s role has begun. Skydance will soon take out this project to the streamers.

 

Santora would develop and executive produce the series as a part of his deal with Skydance Television. He is also the showrunner or executive producer for the upcoming Jack Reacher series for Amazon. The show is based on Lee Child’s bestselling book series and is produced by Amazon Studios, Paramount TV studios and Skydance TV. He is also the showrunner and executive producer on The Fugitive and Most Dangerous Game; both are for Quibi. The latter is also Emmy nominated.

 

Arnold Schwarzenegger will executive produce the series with Skydance’s David Ellison, Bill Bost and Dana Goldberg. Carolyn Harris will oversee the project.

 

Fans last saw Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator: Dark Fate that turned out to be a box office disappointment in 2019. He also starred in Journey to China in the same year. His next role is in Kung Fury 2, an upcoming martial arts comedy sequel.

 

As Arnold Schwarzenegger will be with the TV series as a headliner and an executive producer, streamers would likely be eager to take it on. The expectations of the fans would also be sky high, and the actor would need to meet them to regain the love and faith of his followers who were disappointed with his recent projects. We’d update you on the show when we know more. Stay tuned!
