Arnold Schwarzenegger Will Star In A Spy Adventure TV Series For ‘Jack Ryan’ Showrunner

Deadline has the scoop on the Arnold Schwarzenegger TV series, which doesn’t have a title yet. All we know for now is that it’s a “global spy adventure with a father (Schwarzenegger) and daughter at the center of the story.” That sounds potentially fun, and Schwarzenegger has some experience blending spy thrillers with familial drama, having done so in James Cameron’s True Lies.
Schwarzenegger will executive produce this new series alongside Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Bill Bost, with Carolyn Harris seeing the project for the company. There was a time when Schwarzenegger was one of the biggest movie stars on the planet, but his movie career hasn’t had the same oomph it once had. Still, I remain a fan. I even think he’s become a better actor in his later years, relying less on his physicality and more on his (admittedly limited) emotional range. Fingers crossed that this turns out to be a show worth watching.
