Netflix has decided not to move forward with a second season of the comedy series 'Obliterated,' according to Variety. Created by Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald, the show followed a special forces team who mistakenly celebrated their victory over what they thought was a deadly threat to Las Vegas. However, they soon realized that the bomb they had deactivated was actually a fake. In their intoxicated state, the team had to overcome personal issues, find the real bomb, and save the world.
'Obliterated' boasted a talented cast including Shelley Hennig, Nick Zano, Alyson Gorske, C. Thomas Howell, Eugene Kim, Paola Lázaro, and Amalia Yoo. Hurwitz, Schlossberg, and Heald served as executive producers for the series, along with Dina Hillier from Counterbalance Entertainment. Sony Pictures Television produced the show.
The news of 'Obliterated' not receiving a second season comes as Hurwitz and Heald recently revealed that they are back at work on the sixth and final season of 'Cobra Kai.' This popular series serves as a continuation of the iconic 'Karate Kid' franchise and has gained a significant following since its debut. The creators expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to expand the original storylines and introduce a new generation of underdog characters.
The final season of 'Cobra Kai' is set to premiere in January 2023. The show features an ensemble cast that includes William Zabka, Ralph Macchio, Yuji Okumoto, Mary Mouser, Xolo Mariduena, Peyton List, and Tanner Buchanan.
