From the creators of Cobra Kai, the brand new action-comedy series, Obliterated, has begun filming in Las Vegas, Nevada. With filming expected to last until late November 2022, we can expect to see the series sometime on Netflix in 2023. For now, we’ll be keeping track of everything you need to know about Obliterated, including the plot, cast, trailer, and Netflix release date.
Obliterated is an upcoming Action-Comedy series and the brand new Netflix project from the creators of the smash hit series Cobra Kai. Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg have been listed as the showrunners of the series, and executive producers with Dina Hillier.
Towards the end of 2019 Obliterated was announced as a straight-to-order series for TBS. However, the next couple of years resulted in next to no news on the project, and in that time Cobra Kai made its way over to Netflix, becoming an instant smash hit with millions of subscribers from all over the world. In May 2022 we learned that the series had made a move from TBS to Netflix, which followed the news that TBS and TNT were killing all scripted projects.
