Production

The series was produced by Allen Hughes' Defiant Ones Media Group and director Lesley Chilcott's Invented By Girls. For the documentary, Chilcott talked with Schwarzenegger on FaceTime three or four times in a week for a year-and-a-half and later recorded over forty hours of interview with him. She also stated that Arnold had no editorial oversight and no topic was prohibited from being discussed. Chilcott was only able to cover the era of his governorship for half an hour and wanted to make another episode about it, but her request was rejected.

Release

Netflix announced the documentary series based on the life of Schwarzenegger on May 10, 2023, and stated that it would be released in three parts. It also released a trailer to accompany the announcement. The series was released on June 7, 2023.

Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 70% of 27 critics' reviews are positive. The website's consensus reads: "If Arnold is too acquiescing to fully grapple with Schwarzenegger's complex legacy, the basic facts of his life are fascinating enough to make for a thoroughly entertaining documentary."
