From his humble beginnings in Austria to his meteoric rise as a world-renowned bodybuilder, action movie icon, and California governor, Schwarzenegger’s fascinating story is one for the ages. A multifaceted man who wears many hats, Schwarzenegger's story is one of determination, resilience, and sheer willpower.

Famous for his chiseled physique and larger-than-life roles in classics like 'The Terminator', 'Total Recall', and 'True Lies', Schwarzenegger first shot to fame not as an actor, but as a bodybuilding champion. Winning the Mr. Universe title at the tender age of 20, and later being crowned Mr. Olympia seven times, Schwarzenegger was a force to be reckoned with. But he wasn't content with merely flexing his muscles. The action hero decided to trade his bodybuilding titles for a shot at American politics, serving as the governor of California from 1990 to 1993.

Netflix's 'Arnold' will recount these incredible accomplishments, offering viewers an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at Schwarzenegger's life. And who better to narrate his story than the man himself? Schwarzenegger, in his typical candid fashion, will take viewers on a journey through his life, from his early days in Austria to his time as the governor of California.

Netflix seems to be in full-on Schwarzenegger mode, making summer 2023 the unofficial 'Schwarzenegger Summer'. In addition to the documentary, Netflix is also set to release 'FUBAR', a comedic spy thriller series starring Schwarzenegger alongside Monica Barbaro from 'Top Gun: Maverick' and Gabriel Luna from 'Terminator: Dark Fate'. The series will also feature guest appearances from big names like Tom Arnold, Adam Pally, and Scott Thompson. Netflix is hoping that Schwarzenegger will create as much of a splash with 'FUBAR' as Sylvester Stallone did with his hit Paramount+ series 'The Tulsa King'.

To celebrate this Schwarzenegger Summer, let's take a stroll down memory lane and revisit some of Schwarzenegger's most iconic roles:

The Terminator Series (1984-2019): Schwarzenegger's role as the time-travelling cyborg assassin, the Terminator, is arguably his most memorable. His chilling delivery of the line "I'll be back" in the 1984 original has since become one of the most iconic catchphrases in film history.

Conan the Barbarian (1982): This is the film that launched Schwarzenegger's Hollywood career. His portrayal of the titular character, a sword-swinging warrior on a quest for vengeance, showcased his physical prowess and screen presence.

Predator (1987): In this sci-fi action thriller, Schwarzenegger plays Dutch, a special forces soldier who faces off against an alien creature in the Central American jungle. The film became a cult classic and spawned a successful franchise.

Total Recall (1990): Schwarzenegger plays a construction worker who experiences troubling memories of life on Mars. The movie blends action with psychological drama, and Schwarzenegger's performance was well-received.

True Lies (1994): In this action-comedy, Schwarzenegger stars as a secret spy leading a double life. The film showcases Schwarzenegger's talent for blending action with comedy.

Twins (1988) and Kindergarten Cop (1990): These films highlight Schwarzenegger's comedic abilities, proving that he's not just a muscle-bound action hero but also a versatile actor capable of making audiences laugh.

Batman & Robin (1997): Schwarzenegger played the villainous Mr Freeze in this superhero film. Though the movie was critically panned, his performance was considered one of the film's highlights.

But can Schwarzenegger rule the summer of 2023 as he did the gym, the silver screen, and the Oval Office? It would be risky to wager against him based on his past performance. Get ready for the Schwarzenegger invasion, because on May 25, 2023, 'FUBAR' will premiere and on June 7, 2023, 'Arnold' will bring the astonishing true tale of this unique American legend to Netflix.

Get ready, because it's going to be a Schwarzenegger Summer like no other. After all, as the man himself famously said, "I'll be back." And indeed, he is.
