Netflix Action-Comedy Series OBLITERATED From Creators of COBRA KAI Casts Nick Zano and Shelley Hennig

The Netflix action-comedy series Obliterated from the creators of Cobra Kai has found its two leads with actors Nick Zano (DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Happy Endings) and Shelley Hennig (Teen Wolf, The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window).

“The show 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 a bomb they deactivated was a fake. The now intoxicated team has to fight through their impairments, overcome their personal issues, find the real bomb, and save the world.”

“Zano will star as Chad McKnight, who heads up the special forces team. The team loves him despite his reputation for being a wild guy on and off the job. The night from hell in Vegas will test his commitment to both keeping the good times going and saving the world while he’s at it.”

“Hennig will play Ava Frost, a CIA lead agent who likes to play by the book while overseeing an elite Special Forces team. But the book gets thrown out the window when she and the team have to go back to work while impaired.”

The series, which was originally set up at TBS has been picked up at Netflix for eight one-hour episodes. Cobra Kai creators Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald serve as writers and executive producers on the show, with Dina Hillier of their Counterbalance Entertainment company also executive producing. Sony Pictures Television, where Counterbalance is under an overall deal, serves as the studio.

I’m a Cobra Kai super-fan, so I look forward to seeing another series from this trio.
