Obliterated: 6 Join Cobra Kai Creators' Netflix Action Comedy Series
Obliterated, the action comedy from Cobra Kai creators Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald, added six to round out the cast. Coming onboard are Terrence Terrell (B Positive), Alyson Gorske (Head of the Class), C. Thomas Howell (Southland), Eugene Kim (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Paola Lázaro (The Walking Dead), and Amalia Yoo (Grand Army) to join stars Nick Zano and Shelly Hennig for the Sony Pictures TV series.
The series, which has been given an eight-episode order, is written by executive producers Hurwitz, Schlossberg, and Heald, 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 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.
In Obliterated, Gorske plays Lana, a Vegas party girl swept up along for the ride with the special forces team. Howell is Haggerty, the eccentric Army Explosives technician. Kim plays Paul Yung, an Air Force pilot embedded with our team and, after a wild night of partying, the only one sober. Lázaro portrays Angela Gomez, a badass Marine sniper who is the best in her field. Terrell is Trunk, a Navy SEAL and ultimate wingman to Chad McKnight. Yoo plays Maya Choi, a young NSA tech expert in the field for the first time and wildly out of her element. Also servicing as EP is Dina Hillier for Counterbalance Entertainment. Terrell had a recurring role on Peacock's The Best Man: Final Chapters, Amazon's Bosch and Bigger, and BET's The First Wives Club. Gorske was also in Devil's Triangle. Howell was also featured in Netflix's The Punisher and AMC's TWD. Kim appeared in ABC's The Rookie and the Netflix series The Lincoln Lawyer.
