Virginia Madsen joins Netflix’s “Obliterated” as Guest Star!

The series is created by the same team that brought us Cobra Kai. The cast for Netflix’s Obliterated, which is currently in production from the creators of Cobra Kai, grows even more extensive as eleven actors have joined the upcoming action-comedy series as recurring guest roles, rounding out the ensemble for the show. In a recurring guest role, Carl Lumbly, who previously starred in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier as Isaiah Bradley, will appear as CIA Director Langdon, the boss and mentor to Ava, played by Shelley Hennig.

Additional cast members of the upcoming series include Virginia Madsen as Marge with Lori Petty, who starred in Orange is the New Black, as Crazy Susan. Keston John, who will be seen later this year in Avatar: The Way of Water, will play Mr. Dugan alongside Clive Standen as Liam and Ivan G’vera as Vlad. Series creators Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald, who previously collaborated on Cobra Kai, will also serve as writers for the series. They also executive produce alongside Dina Hillier of Counterbalance Entertainment.

With the series still in production, no official release date for Obliterated has been set. Check out the official synopsis for the show and Collider’s interview with the series’ creators below.

Obliterated is a high octane action-comedy that tells the story of an elite special forces team who thwarts a deadly threat to Las Vegas. After their celebratory party, filled with booze, drugs and sex, the team discovers that a bomb they deactivated was a fake. The now intoxicated team has to fight through their impairments, overcome their personal issues, find the real bomb, and save the world.

Prey For The Devil Poster

Filmmaker Daniel Stamm (The Last Exorcism, Them) returns to the world of religious horror in the latest trailer for Lionsgate’s Prey for the Devil.

Arriving in theaters next month, the film stars Jacqueline Byers  as Sister Ann, a nun looking to become a female exorcist. But who or what beckoned her to this particular line of work? Despite the fact that women have not traditionally been recruited in the fight against evil, the Catholic Church has no choice but to accept our protagonist when demonic possessions begin to rise the world over. Sensing her innate talent for banishing wicked entities, an exorcism professor agrees to train her. Sister Ann ultimately hits the front lines with Father Dante, hoping to rid a little girl a demon that tormented the nun’s mother years before.

Lisa Palfrey, Nicholas Ralph, Ben Cross, and Virginia Madsen round out the cast. You can watch the trailer below.

The film was produced by the Joneses, Paul Brooks (The Fourth Kind) and Jessica Malanaphy (Insidious: Chapter 2). David Brooks (The Boy Downstairs), Brad Kessell (I Still See You), Scott Niemeyer (Pitch Perfect), and Michael P. Flannigan (The Invitation) are executive producers.
