Netflix’s upcoming documentary series “Arnold” offers a glimpse into the life of Hollywood action icon Arnold Schwarzenegger. The two-minute-21-second-long trailer takes viewers on a journey from Arnold’s rural Austrian roots to his bodybuilding career, acting career, political experiences, and family life.
In the preview, Arnold speaks candidly about his journey from becoming Mr. Universe at the age of 20 to winning Mr. Olympia, one of the most prestigious bodybuilding contests in the world. He also talks about his transition to acting and becoming an action star before delving into his political career, which culminated in him serving as the 38th governor of California between 2003 and 2011. The trailer is filled with real-life footage of various moments from Arnold’s life and several interviews from the past.
The documentary series, directed by Lesley Chilcott, who is known for helming “An Inconvenient Truth,” promises never-before-seen footage and stories from Arnold’s journey to the highest echelons of the American dream. The preview shows candid interviews with Schwarzenegger, his friends, foes, co-stars, and observers, revealing the joys and turbulence of his family life in a tale that matches his larger-than-life persona.
The upcoming series is executive produced by Allen Hughes, known for his work on “The Defiant Ones.” “Arnold” premieres on June 7 and is a three-part series that promises unprecedented access to the most candid interviews with Schwarzenegger. It explores his days pumping iron, his triumphs in Hollywood, all the way to his time governing California.
In addition to “Arnold,” viewers can also catch Schwarzenegger in his first OTT series, “FUBAR,” a high-octane action thriller where he plays an undercover CIA operative on his last mission before retirement, which was released on May 25.
