An Elite Special Forces Team Tries to Save the World While Intoxicated in ‘Obliterated’ Trailer

Netflix has released the first trailer for its upcoming action comedy Obliterated, which hails from the creators of megahit Cobra Kai.

The wild and fast-paced trailer is a two-minute tease that asks what it would be like if 24 and The Hangover crossed over. Starring Nick Zano and Shelley Hennig, the eight-episode series follows an elite special forces team after they believe they’ve saved the world from a nuclear bomb threat.

But upon waking up — and with a nasty hangover, no less — the team receives a call that the threat they neutralized was a fake and they have only hours to find and thwart the real one. The problem is, much of the team hasn’t quite sobered up, meaning they must fight through a wall of bad guys, their own personal issues and a few substance impairments to locate the real bomb and save the day.

This slightly impaired team is led by Hennig’s by-the-books CIA agent Ava Winters and Zano’s Chad McKnight, a hard-partying SEAL team leader. The rest of the group features Terrence Terrell as Navy SEAL and wingman Trunk; Paola Lázaro as Marine sniper Angela Gomez; Kimi Rutledge as NSA tech expert Maya Lerner; Eugene Kim as Air Force pilot Paul Yung; C. Thomas Howell as Army explosives technician Hagerty; Alyson Gorske as Lana, a Vegas party girl unexpectedly caught up in the mission; and Carl Lumbly as CIA director James Langdon.

“I don’t care how messed up we are,” Zano’s Chad is seen saying between cuts of a candy corn DJ, camels drinking and someone getting hit by a truck. “We’re still the best in the game.”

Adds Hennig’s Winters, “Even though I’m half drunk and he is fully drunk — and high — we’re the only people on the planet who can keep it from getting blown to hell.”

Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg and Josh Heald serve as executive producers, showrunners, writers and directors on the series, which is also EP’ed by Dina Hillier from Counterbalance Entertainment.
