The creative minds behind Cobra Kai turn their attention to Las Vegas for Netflix’s action comedy series Obliterated. The two-minute trailer introduces an elite team who mistakenly party way too hard before a job’s complete.
“Obliterated is a high octane action-comedy that tells the story of an elite special forces team who thwarts a deadly threat to Las Vegas. After their celebratory party, filled with booze, drugs, and sex, the team discovers that the bomb they deactivated was a fake,” reads Netflix’s official synopsis. “The now-intoxicated team has to fight through their impairments, overcome their personal issues, find the real bomb, and save the world.”
Shelley Hennig, Nick Zano, C. Thomas Howell, Kimi Rutledge, Paola Lázaro, Terrence Terrell, Alyson Gorske, and Eugene Kim star. Carl Lumbly, David Costabile, Lindsey Kraft, Costa Ronin, Tobias Jelinek, and Minnie Mills appear in recurring roles.
Guest stars include Lori Petty, Virginia Madsen, Clive Standen, Ivan G’vera, and Keston John.
Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald write, direct, executive produce, and serve as showrunners. Additional directors include America Young, Sherwin Shelati, and Joel Novoa.
“Even if you’re the so-called best of the best, you’re gonna be way up against it if called back into action with a system full of liquor and drugs. Our team deals with every conceivable self-imposed obstacle as a result of accidentally partying before the mission is over,” said co-showrunner Josh Heald in an interview with Netflix’s Tudum.
The eight-episode season is set to premiere on November 30, 2023.
