Obliterated, the latest action/drama series released on Netflix, brings a new assorted group of actors and characters into the fold through a stacked cast.
Multiple branches of the United States Armed Forces team up with one another in Obliterated to combat a dangerous terrorist network from leaving Las Vegas in ruins.
The real issue is that these various agents believe they got the job done and celebrate accordingly, not realizing the bomb they diffused is fake, and are now forced to fight through hangovers and exhaustion to truly finish their work.
Created by the team behind fellow Netflix hit Cobra Kai, Obliterated brings an eight-episode adventure to the small screen, and it made its official debut on November 30.

Hennig's most notable role is that of Malia Tate in Teen Wolf and the ensuing movie, she also starred in The Secret Circle, Unfriended, and Ouija.
Nick Zano - Chad McKnight
Nick Zano's Chad McKnight is a SEAL team leader working under Ava against the terrorists in Vegas, coming off as a major macho type who's ready to go in guns blazing toward any kind of firefight.
Sleeping with Winters after the mission ends, McKnight oftentimes lets his anger get the better of him as he looks to break the terrorists, although there's also a sensitive side to him that takes some time to be coaxed out.
Zano played a major role as Nate Heywood in DC's Legends of Tomorrow and Arrow within the Arrowverse, and other credits include What I Like About You, The Final Destination, and Minority Report.
C. Thomas Howell - Hagerty
C. Thomas Howell lets out his crazy side in Obliterated as Hagerty, a psycho bomb expert with only seven fingers who helps the team diffuse the initial bomb that's later revealed to be fake.
Taking a heaping of drugs and alcohol, Hagerty ends up passing out and collapsing onto a glass table, but not before getting completely naked for all to see. He would later spend the vast majority of the series knocked out cold.
Howell is best known for a run of epic '80s classics like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, The Outsiders, and Red Dawn.
Kimi Rutledge - Maya Lerner
Kimi Rutledge portrays Maya Lerner, an NSA tech agent who proves herself to be a master hacker, although she also has a wild sense of humor that she shows across all eight episodes while the team sometimes knows her as "Tech Girl."
Lerner starts with a huge crush on McKnight, which incites some major tension between her and Winters after she walks in on Winters and McKnight together, leading to some drastic decisions in how she lives her life.
Rutledge entered the Hollywood scene in 2019, boasting credits in Half Sisters, Shrill, and The Wayfarer.
Paola Lázaro - Angela Gomez
Paola Lázaro embraces her badass side as Angela Gomez, the team's rough and tough sniper who takes out numerous adversaries in the bomb threat with only a few shots.
Early in the Obliterated story, Gomez falls hard for an engaged woman named Sarah, pulling her out of her shell at times as she holds the team together emotionally.
Best known for her role as Juanita in The Walking Dead, and she's also seen in Wu-Tang: An American Saga, the Lethal Weapon TV series, and Black Bear.
Terrence Terrell - Trunk
Terrence Terrell brings a barrel of laughs as Trunk, the team's muscle and McKnight's sidekick who's revealed to be gay early in the season.
Constantly on the search for food due to a horrible case of the munchies, Trunk also does everything in his power to keep his sexual identity hidden from his team to keep the mission on track.
Terrell is recognizable for his work in B Positive, Bosch, and Bigger.
Alyson Gorske - Lana
Alyson Gorske adds a new dynamic to the government team as Lana, a seemingly air-brained party girl who the team finds out inside information on the suspect at large.
After partying with Obliterated's main antagonist, Lana sticks around with the team and tries to help find the targets, although she has difficulty embracing the world of secret intelligence and espionage before more secrets are revealed.
Gorse's biggest credits come courtesy of Amy's F**k It List, Jungle Run, and Devil's Triangle.
Eugene Kim - Paul Yung
The most straight-laced member of the CIA team is Eugene Kim's Paul Young, a pilot who winds up accidentally taking psilocybin and LSD via a laced bowl of chips and guacamole.
He later finds out that his 18-year-old daughter is in Las Vegas on a trip, adding to his worries as he keeps an eye on the team's operations from the skies.

Lori Petty - Crazy Suzan
Lori Petty goes full crazy in Obliterated as she plays a lady known as Crazy Suzan, who finds Winters and McKnight in the middle of the desert and offers her help.
Suzan watches over the pair as they recover in her bunker, not holding back in wanting the duo to take out as many "commies" as they can as she shows them a massive hoard of weapons hidden behind a secret door.
Petty is recognizable as an icon of the '90s, starring in movies like Point Break, A League of Their Own, Free Willy, and Tank Girl.
Ivan G’vera - Vlad Litvin
