TODD HINKLE. Every group of friends has its lovable douchebag; unfortunately, the island has Todd. He’s not arrogant — he’s just genuinely better than everyone else. And he’s not selfish — it’s just survival of the fittest, dummies. Read a book. Having dated Jess for the last seven years, Todd may finally be ready to settle down now that he’s stuck in a place where she’s officially the best-looking woman available.
STEVE RUTHERFORD. Despite a lifetime of taking shit back in New Zealand, Steve remains kind, naive, and mustached. Happy to finally have some company that doesn’t totally ignore him, Steve comes to recognize the island as a chance to live the life he’s always dreamed, even if that life means a diet that almost exclusively consists of boar.
PACK HARA. A sports agent from Los Angeles, Pack is the modern man whose skill set has been perfectly honed for our cosmopolitan world — which is to say he’s got the survival skills of a child. Though smart and conniving, Pack starts to unravel as the hair pomade runs low and paradise starts to chip away at his well-tailored veneer.
OWEN O’CONNOR. As the only surviving member of the Lotus Airlines flight crew, Owen is the de facto leader on the island — even though he’s barely equipped to be a “waiter in the sky” (his words, not ours). Having served as a flight attendant for most of his adult life, Owen’s existence as a comfortable loner is about to be shattered by the forced intimacy that comes with depending on strangers for survival. In other words — the island is his nightmare.
KAREN CUSHMAN. A senior-level statistical analysis executive at Bing (the search engine that’s not Google), Karen has crushed the world of business with her blunt talk and take-no-prisoners attitude. Her social understanding of people — and their stupidly large range of emotions — is a different story. As the only survivor with any real survival skills, Karen sees the island as an opportunity to attain the one prize that’s always alluded her at Bing — the title of Vice President.
JESS KATO. As a freshman, Jess fell hard for the dopest fifth-year senior at Arizona State. Nine years later (officially together for seven), Jess is still dating Todd. Hoping their big international trip may mean the asking of a certain question, Jess remains a sweet-natured romantic ready to start the next phase of her life — but the island has other plans.
FLORENCE BUTTERMANN. Brash and complicated, Florence is essentially a walking contradiction — she hates capitalism, but went to a private liberal arts school. She doesn’t trust eggs that aren’t free-range, but she’ll take a hit of acid from a stranger at a music festival. Before the plane went down, Florence and Emma were traveling to Thailand on a “girls’ trip” in an effort to reconnect as friends.
EMMA COOK. Smart, capable, and yeah, maybe a little neurotic, Emma thinks of herself as the voice of reason on the island — after all, she’s a doctor. Having graduated with top marks from Columbia, Emma was all set to start her residency before Florence dragged her on a trip to Thailand. Does Emma resent her underachieving friend for delaying her life plan? You could say that.
DANNY WALLACE. Optimistic and excitable, Danny is the sweetest guy on the island, despite the fact that he almost immediately lies to the others about being a police officer. Does he care about the well-being of the other survivors, particularly his new best friend Owen? Most definitely. Should he be carrying the only gun on the island when he has no real firearm training? Probably not. Danny may or may not have a mysterious past… (he does).
Have you ever wondered “what would LOST have been like if it had been a comedy?” Well, TBS has your answer with its newest show: WRECKED.
WRECKED centers around a group of diverse people who have been stranded on a remote island after a plane crash. Now they’re in a dangerous and unknown new world where they’re facing many threats — mostly brought on by themselves. No longer plugged into the rest of the world, the group struggles to navigate their makeshift society while also learning to live without such modern comforts as indoor plumbing, Wi-Fi, social media and Chipotle.
To get to know to the wacky characters of WRECKED, browse through our slideshow above.
WRECKED premieres on Tuesday, June 14 at 10|9c on TBS.
