Arnold always has something in the works for us...
And his latest is teaming up with network giant CBS to produce a series called "Pump", which is based on his early days of bodybuilding.
Not since the days of "Pumping Iron" have we anticipated anything quite like this!
"Pump" will be an hour-long drama over what appears to be 8 episodes.
There's also currently no suggestion Arnold will appear in the show.
"Pump" - Synopsis
Set in 1973, "Pump" will tell the story of a small group of bodybuilders working on their gains during the early fitness boom.
We’re also promised a look at their party lives as well - it won't just be weights and protein shakes.
The lifestyle of bodybuilders in 1973 has always been something the fitness world has been obsessed with, and it seems as if a show like this is a no-brainer. We saw in "Pain and Gain" starring Mark Wahlberg and "The Rock" just how much audiences are obsessed with that era of fitness - the film took home over 80 million dollars.
It just depends on how Schwarzenegger gets involved creatively, but let's hope they have him in the boardroom on multiple occasions to really give the program an authentic feel!
Schwarzenegger has said in a statement:
“I knew from our first brainstorming session that Pump would be a hit. The ’70s were such a colourful, transformational time, for me and for our entire country. I look forward to bringing that colour to people’s living rooms with the fantastic, deep characters and the multi-layered storylines of Pump.”
I can't wait!
"Stay Fit, Stay Flexed!"
