His name has once again become the talk of the world after the announcement of a documentary series about his life on Netflix, the trailer has left everyone, fans and detractors alike, wanting more.

Who is Arnold Schwarzenegger?
Arnold Schwarzenegger was born on July 30, 1947 in Thal, near Graz, Austria. Despite his birthplace, he is also a U.S. citizen.
A bodybuilder in Austria, he moved to the United States in 1968 and won the Mr. Universe title four times and the Mr. Olympia title seven times before retiring undefeated in 1980. In bodybuilding, Arnold is the world’s greatest living legend.
After appearing in the documentary Pumping Iron (1977), he starred in Conan the Barbarian (1982) and its sequel, Conan the Destroyer (1984). Noted for his extraordinary physique and thick accent, he became an international star with Terminator (1984), which became a hugely successful franchise.
His other films included Kindergarten Cop (1990), Total Recall (1990), True Lies (1994) and Twins (1988).
Schwarzenegger joined the Republican Party and served as governor of California (2003-2011). He later returned to acting, appearing in films such as The Last Stand (2013), Sabotage (2014), Terminator Genisys (2015) and Terminator: Dark Fate (2019).
A documentary film comes to Netflix to talk about Arnold
This is not going to be easy, because everything has been said about Arnold. So much has been written about that, I’m sure, half of it is lies and half of it is imagined. Which makes this documentary a unique opportunity to tell the truth.
After The Last Dance documentary featuring Michael Jordan, Netflix has specialized in telling people’s lives in the form of a documentary series. Everyone wants their moment of glory, but few deserve it like Arnold.
On June 7, 2023, all of Schwarzenegger’s lives will be put under the microscope in a three-part Netflix documentary titled Arnold.
In each episode of Arnold, the narrative focuses on a different aspect of Schwarzenegger’s story, including chapters devoted to his life as an athlete, actor and politician.
More importantly, it examines how he revolutionized every industry he set foot in, and how it all led to both professional success and private turmoil.
The three-part documentary is directed by Lesley Chilcott, who previously worked as a producer on An Inconvenient Truth (2006) and Waiting for “Superman” (2010).
