There might be no better place to party than Sin City. But things can obviously go sideways in Las Vegas, especially when you’re an inebriated special forces team tasked with saving the world. That’s the setup for Obliterated, an upcoming Netflix series from the creators of Cobra Kai: Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald.
The first trailer for Obliterated shows the special forces team–apparently led by Nick Zano (Legends of Tomorrow) and Shelley Hennig (Teen Wolf, Mythic Quest)–disarming a nuke that would have destroyed Las Vegas. So a celebration is in order, including a hefty amount of drinks and drugs.
That’s when the other shoe drops, unfortunately. The villains reveal the bomb was a misdirect, meaning the crew has to go back out in the field while clearly messed up. “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,” says Hennig’s Ava Winters in the trailer. This leads into a montage of the group encountering a camel, Elvis impersonator, and much, much more.
As such, the Netflix series looks like a mix of the espionage of Mission: Impossible with the drunken shenanigans of The Hangover. Plus, it features the same setting of Las Vegas as the former as well as the raunchiness.
Obliterated will premiere November 30 on Netflix with all eight episodes available.
