The 73-year-old has signed on to play the lead in a global spy adventure being developed by Skydance Television, Deadline.com reported on Monday. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is also executive producing the hour-long episodic series, will star as one half of a father-daughter duo around whom the plot revolves. The show is the creation of writer and producer Nick Santora, Deadline reported. Santora is best known for creating the CBS series Scorpion as well as serving as showrunner for Skydance TV's Jack Reacher series for Amazon.

Little else is know about the as-yet-untitled project although it's reported that casting is underway to find an actress to portray Schwarzenegger's on-screen daughter. The action star and former Governor of California has strong links with Skydance. The indie studio was behind his return to the big screen in his iconic Terminator role in 2015's Terminator Genisys and last year's Terminator: Dark Fate.

Of course, the new scripted drama won't be the first time Schwarzenegger has had a show on TV; he famously took over from Donald Trump as host of the reality show Celebrity Apprentice in 2017.
