Netflix has officially axed the action-comedy series Obliterated after a solitary season, crushing the hopes of fans who anticipated more from the show’s unique premise, reports Variety.
Crafted by the masterminds behind Cobra Kai, Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald, Obliterated delved into the aftermath of a special forces team’s misplaced celebration. Believing they had averted a catastrophic threat to Las Vegas, the team plunged into a wild party, only to realize the bomb they thought they’d deactivated was a mere decoy. In a drunken haze, the team must navigate personal issues, locate the real bomb, and save the world.
Starring Shelley Hennig, Nick Zano, Alyson Gorske, C. Thomas Howell, Eugene Kim, Paola Lázaro, and Amalia Yoo, the show failed to secure a green light for a second season. The decision comes as a disappointment to viewers who invested in the intriguing blend of action and comedy.
The executive team, comprising Hurwitz, Schlossberg, and Heald, had other ventures on the horizon. Recently, they hinted at the commencement of work on the final season of Cobra Kai. The beloved “Karate Kid” spinoff is set to conclude its successful run, with the creators expressing gratitude for the opportunity to expand on the original storylines and introduce a new generation to the martial arts saga.
While Obliterated bids farewell, the anticipation surrounding the grand finale of Cobra Kai continues to build, promising closure and nostalgia for fans of the iconic franchise.
