Arnold Schwarzenegger is poised for his first major scripted TV role in a global spy thriller

Deadline

Scorpion creator Nick Santora is teaming with the former California governor and box office star on a global spy adventure revolving around a father and daughter. Schwarzenegger would play the father on the project from Skydance Television. The potential is expected to be shopped to streaming services. Schwarzenegger has a longstanding relationship with Skydance, which has been responsible for Terminator Genisys and Terminator: Dark Fate. The potential series would mark a return to TV for Schwarzenegger, who replaced Donald Trump as host of The Celebrity Apprentice on NBC in 2017. He has also had many TV movie and guest-starring roles in his long career.
