Netflix is often accused of canceling popular shows before their time. One of the biggest complaints is that the streaming service often ends a show after three seasons, even if there is more story to tell. However, one recent show that premiered in 2024 has already been canceled after just one season. This is even despite it having a major star in the lead role.

Here is what show was canceled and what you need to know.

Netflix Cancels Fan-Favorite Series

While streaming services have been great in many aspects, especially in terms of creative freedom, sometimes, these services can be a little too eager to cancel shows before they truly have the chance to be fleshed out. This is exactly what happened recently with a show that people got hooked on.

La plataforma de streaming no renueva la serie de mitología griega con giro contemporáneo protagonizada por Jeff Goldblum. © Netflix

De acuerdo con Variety, la serie Kaos, que se estrenó a finales de agosto, ha sido cancelada después de una sola temporada en Netflix.

Se trata de un drama del creador de The End of the F***ing World, Charlie Covell, que toma todo lo que sabemos sobre la mitología griega y le da un giro contemporáneo.

En Kaos, Zeus lleva mucho tiempo disfrutando de su poder como rey de los dioses. Pero una mañana se despierta y se descubre una arruga en la frente. La neurosis se apodera de él y lo conduce hacia un camino de peligro y paranoia. Zeus cree que su declive está cerca pues empieza a ver signos de decadencia por todas partes. Y hace bien en preocuparse, porque Prometeo, antiguo amigo y ahora prisionero de Zeus,...

Kaos creator Charlie Covell is speaking out after Netflix canceled the Greek mythology comedy series following its first season.

Covell, who uses they/them pronouns, took to the Instagram page of production company Sister to share a message for fans: “Of course I’m gutted not to be making more Kaos, but I don’t want this news to overshadow what we did make. I’m incredibly lucky to have worked with such an exceptionally talented cast and crew, and I’m extremely proud of our show. Thank you to absolutely everybody involved: it was a Herculean team effort, and a huge privilege to work with you all.”

“Kaos” creator Charlie Covell has spoken out for the first time since the Greek mythology comedy series was canceled by Netflix after just one season.

On Thursday, Covell penned a message to the show’s fans on the Instagram page of production company Sister, writing: “Of course I’m gutted not to be making more ‘Kaos,’ but I don’t want this news to overshadow what we did make. I’m incredibly lucky to have worked with such an exceptionally talented cast and crew, and I’m extremely proud of our show. Thank you to absolutely everybody involved: it was a Herculean team effort, and a huge privilege to work with you all.”

It’s a running gag that powerhouse streamer Netflix loves to cancel its original series.

Very few TV Fanatics have escaped Netflix’s penchant for ax-swinging when it comes to some of our favorite series.

And now, the gods were not smiling down on the modern-day Greek mythology series, Kaos.

(Justin Downing/Netflix) Kaos Offered a Truly Unique, Refreshing Take on the Genre Series

There is nothing quite like Kaos currently on the air, and unfortunately, now there isn’t anything at all.

Kaos was a genuinely fun series, in many ways taking a similar approach as The Boys when tackling a specific genre that is either overfraught or not approached in unique ways.

Charlie Covell has urged fans to “please keep talking about Kaos” after the shock cancellation of the Netflix show earlier this week.

Fans were left blindsided on Tuesday when one of the lead actors, Aurora Perrineau, posted on Instagram saying that the show would be ending after one season. This came a few weeks after Covell said they had ideas for another two seasons of the Sister-produced series, which starred Jeff Goldblum, Janet McTeer and Nabhaan Rizwan.

Taking to Sister’s Instagram in the past few minutes, Covell said “my hope now is that people still continue to discover and enjoy the show.”

“I reckon there are some potential fans out there who might need more time to find it, so please keep talking about Kaos if you enjoyed it,” wrote Covell, who also created the hit The End of the F***ing World series for Netflix and Channel 4.

Jeff Goldblum probably isn’t smiling today. Netflix has cancelled Kaos after one season. The series premiered on the streaming service in August after being ordered in 2018.

Goldblum, Janet McTeer, David Thewlis, Rakie Ayola, Cliff Curtis, Stephen Dillane, Aurora Perrineau, Nabhaan Rizwan, Killian Scott, Misia Butler, Stanley Townsend, and Leila Farzad star in this modern and comedic take on Greek mythology, in which Greek god Zeus (Goldblum) fears he is losing power.

Bill Hader, a veteran in the movie industry, had heaps to say when he decided to end his show, Barry, after four seasons. And after what recently happened to Kaos, everything seems to make sense about how show business works and how sometimes good things don’t last.

Generally, it’s tough to stay afloat in the industry. Competition heightens almost every day, with new content being released for fans to indulge in. Sometimes, even the best producers, directors, and actors have to give up on their projects despite their wishes to continue with them.

Netflix cancels Jeff Goldblum’s Kaos after a single season

Despite the good verbal reviews online, numbers in viewership matter a lot in show business. The news about Kaos ending after one season was first revealed by Aurora Perrineau, who acts as Eurydice on the show.

Janet McTeer...

Netflix has decided against making another series of Kaos, its new show starring Jeff Goldblum. More on it being cancelled here.

Before she created Kaos, which was revently released on Netflix, Charlie Covell wrote several terrific shows including Truelove, a dark drama for Channel 4 with a brilliant ensemble cast including Lindsay Duncan and Clarke Peters, and The End Of The F***ing World, about a teenager who believes himself to be a psychopath, which is now on Netflix and is well worth watching.

The synopsis for Kaos reads as follows:

Zeus (Jeff Goldblum) has long enjoyed his status as King of The Gods. Until he wakes up and discovers a wrinkle on his forehead. Neurosis sets in, setting him off on a dangerous, paranoid path. Zeus becomes convinced his fall is coming – and starts to see signs of it everywhere. Zeus’ once reliable brother, Hades (David Thewlis), the God of the Underworld,...

We had a feeling that this announcement was coming after star Aurora Perrineau shared and then deleted a cryptic social media post late last night, and Variety has now confirmed that Netflix has cancelled Kaos after a single season.

The black comedy drama, which stars Jeff Goldblum as the all-powerful King of the Gods, Zeus, only premiered on the streamer in late August. Though reviews were mostly positive (76% on Rotten Tomatoes), the 8-episode series arrived without much fanfare.

Though the show's viewership numbers were nothing special, they were far from disastrous.

Kaos appeared in Netflix’s top 10 charts for English-language series in each of its first four weeks on the streamer, topping out at No. 3 for the week of Sept. 2-8. It earned 14.9 million views (measured by total viewing time divided by running time) over those weeks.

Perrineau has since shared the following.

Thanks for the journey #Kaos ⚡️ pic.twitter.

Netflix viewers have descended into Kaos after it was announced that the well-received and deeply ambitious series was canceled after just one season. Written and created by The End of the F***ing World’s Charlie Covell, the eight-part comedy was released on the streaming platform in late August. In a darkly humorous reimagining of Greek mythology, six humans learned that they are parts of an ancient prophecy, clashing with Greek Gods. The star-studded cast included Jeff Goldblum as Zeus (in a tracksuit), Janet McTeer as Queen Hera, Nabhaan Rizwan as their rebellious son Dionysus, Aurora Perrineau as Eurydice, Cliff Curtis as Poseidon, David Thewlis as Hades, Rakie Ayola as Persephone, Killian Scott as Orpheus, Debi Mazar as Medusa, Billie Piper as Cassandra, Stephen Dillane as Prometheus, Steven Dillane, and Fady Elsayed. And yet, just two months after its premiere, the cancellation came on Tuesday, October 8. Perrineau initially shared the ungodly...

Tell me if you've heard this one before: barely a month after a new show premiered its first season on Netflix, the streamer has decided to unceremoniously cancel it and chuck it in the bin. In this case, the show is Kaos, a series about Greek mythology set in the modern day, with characters like Zeus (Jeff Goldblum) and Hera (Janet McTeer) lording over Greece while mere humans scramble to worship them. Or at least that's what the humans are supposed to do; Kaos is all about what happens when that system goes off the rails, thanks in no small part to an unhealthy dose of paranoia and broken promises from the gods in charge.

Variety reports that Netfix has decided not to renew Kaos for a second season. It debuted on the platform on August 29, which means this decision comes just over five weeks later. That's a pretty short...

Netflix has decided not to return to Mount Olympus, canceling its series Kaos after a single season.

The decision comes about six weeks after the dark comedy, based on Greek and Roman mythology and created by Charlie Covell (The End of the F***ing World), made its debut on the streamer. Kaos appeared in Netflix’s top 10 charts for English-language series in each of its first four weeks, topping out at No. 3 for the week of Sept. 2-8. It earned 14.9 million views (measured by total viewing time divided by running time) over those weeks, a middling number by the streamer’s standards.

In the United States, the show had 3.34 million views as of Sept. 8, according to Nielsen’s streaming ratings (viewing totals for subsequent weeks aren’t yet available).

Kaos puts Greek and Roman mythology in a present-day setting. The series stars Jeff Goldblum as Zeus, who has chained fellow god...

Kaos’ reign has come to an end. Just over a month ago, Netflix debuted a modern take on the Greek pantheon of gods in a series from The End Of The F***ing World writer Charlie Covell – with none other than Jeff Goldblum as a tracksuit-wearing Zeus. But while the show received positive reviews, it looks to be the next victim of the Netflix one-and-done curse: the series has, according to Variety, been axed at the streamer and won’t receive a second season. Something tells us the gods aren’t going to like this.

News of the cancellation initially arrived courtesy of one of its stars, Aurora Perrineau, who played Eurydice – and posted a (since-deleted) emotional farewell to the show on her Instagram page. In the comments, she clarified that the show had, indeed, been cancelled. “We made something weird, dark, hilarious, deranged and absolutely tragic – something entirely human.

Netflix continues to clean house as the streamer evaluates which shows they opt to continue making. Earlier, That 90s Show fell victim to cancellation. Now, according to Deadline, Netflix has decided not to renew the Jeff Goldblum high-concept series, Kaos. It had been confirmed by one of the show’s stars, Aurora Perrineau, in a now-deleted Instagram post.

In the deleted post, Perrineau said, “Well… this one hurts. I find explaining how I’m feeling to be really difficult, but I’ll try. When I started auditioning for this show, I knew it was special, mainly due to the fact that Charlie Covell’s scripts resonated with me in a way most things hadn’t. I knew all of these people, and I loved them all — every flaw, everything.”

She would conclude by saying, “Everyone was brilliant and uniquely themselves. Every performance surprised and excited me. I can’t believe...

“Kaos” will no longer reign on Netflix. The streamer has canceled the Greek mythology series, TheWrap has learned. The show hailed from “The End of the F***king World” creator Charlie Covell and put a modern twist on Greek mythology – three humans contend with the corrupt gods as they discover their connection to one another and an overarching prophecy.

Jeff Goldblum played Zeus in the show with Janet McTeer as Hera, Cliff Curtis as Poseidon, David Thewlis as Hades, Debi Mazar as Medusa and Stephen Dillane as Prometheus.

The ensemble also included Aurora Perrineau, Leila Farzad, Suzy Eddie Izzard and Rakie Ayola. “Kaos” premiered on Aug. 29, so this is a pretty swift cancellation from Netflix. The show debuted with only 3.4 million views during its first week of release, ticked up to 5.9 million views in its second week and then dipped back down to 3.4 million on its third week.

This is...

Kaos will not continue to reign.

Netflix has canceled the Jeff Goldblum-fronted Greek mythology comedy after one season. Aurora Perrineau, one of the stars of Kaos, appeared to confirm the cancellation in a now-deleted Instagram post. Deadline understands the news is legitimate. Netflix has been contacted for comment.

Kaos was first greenlit in 2018 after being created by Charlie Covell (The End of the F***ing World). The series was produced by Sister, the UK drama powerhouse, and Deadline understands that preparations were well underway for a second season.

Goldblum stars in Kaos as Zeus, who begins to fear his reign is ending as he spots a wrinkle on his forehead, making him paranoid and spiteful toward his devotees. Meanwhile, three mortals set off on a journey to fulfill their identical prophecies.

Season 1 was ambitious in scale and boasted an ensemble cast that included Janet McTeer as Hera,...

“Kaos,” the Greek mythology comedy series that premiered in late August, has been canceled at Netflix, Variety has learned.

The show premiered on August 29 and starred Jeff Goldblum as the all mighty Zeus, albeit in a more whimsical and insecure portrayal. In a modern-day setting, Zeus has chained up Prometheus after interfering his with godly rule over humanity. Prometheus then attempts to overthrow Zeus with the help of three humans, Eurydice, Ariadne and Caeneus. Charlie Covell (“The End of the F***ing World”) wrote the entire eight-episode series.

The cast also included Janet McTeer as Hera, Aurora Perrineau as Eurydice, Cliff Curtis as Poseidon, David Thewlis as Hades, Rakie Ayola as Persephone, Killian Scott as Orpheus, Leila Farzad as Ariadne, Nabhaan Rizwan as Dionysus, Debi Mazar as Medusa, Stephen Dillane as Prometheus, Misia Butler as Caeneus, Mat Fraser as Daedalus, Stanley Townsend as Minos, Billie Piper as Cassandra, Suzy Eddie Izzard as Lachesis,...

The show, which follows Greek mythology in an alternate present-day timeline, left Season 1 with many future storytelling possibilities.

Baz Luhrmann’s “Romeo + Juliet” was a big influence on the Netflix series “Kaos,” the show’s star Aurora Perrineau said, and “Mercutio was prominent” on the show’s mood board. The biggest surprise, she added via X: “It wasn’t until partway through filming that the creators found out he is my dad.”

Perrineau’s father Harold chimed in, quoting his daughter’s story on the social media platform mand adding, “This is a true story!”

By the power of Jeff Goldblum, Kaos might just reign once again.

Although Netflix has yet to renew the series for Season 2, creator Charlie Covell (The End of the F***ing World) said the streaming platform has “been very supportive” of the show, which puts a contemporary spin on the classic tales of Greek mythology.

“I think anything is possible,” Covell told Cosmopolitan UK. “My dream was three seasons. I’ve got many ideas and a strong sense of what I’d want to do with it.”

They added about the potential for a sophomore season, “There’s definitely more. I also didn’t want to do an ending that was a total cliffhanger. I hope that it feels satisfying as a season one in its own right, and there’s always hope for the more. Because I really would love to do more and work with those actors and that team.

For those who want something a little more adult than Percy Jackson, but slightly less dark than American Gods, Kaos may be the modern mythological reimagining you’re looking for. It’s a darkly comedic, rambunctious family affair from creator Charlie Covell (The End Of The F**king World), whose irreverent take will have you falling for gods and mortals alike.

Jeff Goldblum is in his element as Zeus, the king of the gods, playing him as notoriously unstable and self-obsessed. It seems that all of his family have left him alone on Mount Olympus, with the exception of his wife, Hera (Janet McTeer), and his son, Dionysus (Nabhaan Rizwan). When an unknown group of mortals hijack Olympia’s offering to the gods with a literal pile of shit, Zeus is forced to face the fact that his family is falling apart, and people...

Prometheus personally killed someone very close to him in Netflix's Kaos, but there was a notably good reason why he did that.

The newly released Netflix series takes a unique spin on Greek Mythology. Not only does the show take place in the modern day, but it is also set in an alternate future where the stories of Greek Mythology have yet to fully play out—–with a key example being that of Eurydice (Aurora Perrineau) and Orpheus (Killian Scott).

Narrating the tale is Stephen Dillane's Prometheus, who also happens to be the same one who sets things into motion to take down Zeus once and for all.

The mythological dark comedy Kaos is a new Netflix series that could have easily collapsed under the weight of its highly stylized showcase. The series might have even lost itself within its own snide and manipulative, soapy family drama while only dipping its toe in mortal waters with themes the gods would never bother with.

However, series creator Charlie Covell finds something deeply moving and human beneath all of that expressionistic imagery and performances that revel in morally ambiguous roles. Bursting with creativity and a cynical black wit, Kaos is an undeniably entertaining series and a showcase for its star, Jeff Goldblum.

The story follows the God of Sky and Thunder,...

Plot: Having long enjoyed his status as King of The Gods, Zeus’ reign has never been truly threatened. That is until he wakes up one morning and discovers a wrinkle on his forehead. Believing it to be the harbinger of an ancient prophecy which foretells his destruction, neurosis sets in: Zeus becomes convinced his fall is coming. As his paranoia takes hold, the God of Gods – seeing signs everywhere – starts to dangerously self-destruct. And he’s right to be worried. Zeus’ one time friend and now prisoner, Prometheus, is orchestrating a plan to bring him down. The plan involves three disparate humans, all of whom are totally unaware of their cosmic significance or the part they must play in saving the world. No pressure. (Some pressure).

Before I get into the actual review, here’s a mini disclaimer: the only knowledge of Greek mythology I have comes from faded memories of Madeline Miller’s gorgeous contemporary retelling of Achilles’ story, so if you were expecting someone complaining about how these modern chronicles are crap, then my friend, you’ve come to the wrong place. As a viewer, I was immediately attracted to the fact that I didn’t need any prior knowledge of the gods before watching this show. From the little bit I know, i.e., some of their names and affinities, I was pleasantly surprised at how smooth sailing the show is despite the gazillion characters. It’s the perfect segue into said world if need be, but on the other hand, it’s plain family drama of the best kind.

Jeff Goldblum is Zeus, a powerhouse at the top of the food chain,...

Jeff Goldblum plays Zeus, king of the gods, in Kaos. In the marketing for the Netflix series, he’s been positioned as more of an Atlas-like figure, with the entire show carried on his back—and his twitchy, stuttering shtick. In actuality, Kaos is distributed pretty evenly among its large cast of characters, many of whom don’t really seem like they belong to the same world, and none of whom prove strong enough to keep the series from crumbling.

Kaos takes place in a world not unlike our present one, except here the Greek gods are real and rule over humanity from atop Mount Olympus. We’re introduced to the major members of this pantheon of gods in an opening sequence set to Dire Straits’s “Money for Nothing,” with each character title often followed by a smaller one offering some glib addendum. This introductory sequence—and the rest...

Playing like Percy Jackson for grownups, with a dash of American Gods and Hadestown thrown in for good measure, Netflix’s dark comedy Kaos is packed with big ideas that creator Charlie Covell struggles to explore in any depth.

Over eight hour-long episodes, my response to Kaos and its often clever upending of mythological tropes went from “That’s really cool, I can’t wait to see what they do with that” to “That’s interesting, but I know it won’t go anywhere” to “Meh.” With an impressive cast, a cheeky tone and little investment in substantive follow-through, the show goes from promising to frustrating to disappointing — albeit with tantalizing hints throughout of what could have been.

Jeff Goldblum commands attention throughout as Zeus, the all-powerful yet fiercely neurotic king of the gods and overall facilitator of a humanity that still worships them. Ruling from Mt. Olympus with his...

Are you ready for some chaotic Greek gods? Well, Netflix will be leaning into all the chaos with Kaos, the streamer's brand-new mythological dark comedy-drama.

Kaos arrives at the end of August to see off summer with a bang before fall swoops in with plenty more high-profile new Netflix shows and movies in September.

Netflix ha publicado el primer tráiler de Kaos, un drama del creador de The End of the F***ing World, Charlie Covell, que toma todo lo que sabemos sobre la mitología griega y le da un giro contemporáneo.

En Kaos, Zeus lleva mucho tiempo disfrutando de su poder como rey de los dioses. Pero una mañana se despierta y se descubre una arruga en la frente. La neurosis se apodera de él y lo conduce hacia un camino de peligro y paranoia. Zeus cree que su declive está cerca pues empieza a ver signos de decadencia por todas partes. Y hace bien en preocuparse, porque Prometeo, antiguo amigo y ahora prisionero de Zeus, está orquestando un complot para acabar con él. En él participan tres humanos dispares que desconocen por completo...

“A line appears, the order wanes, the family falls and chaos reigns...”

A couple of brief teasers aside, Netflix hasn't really been promoting Kaos, but the streamer has finally released a proper trailer for the contemporary Greek mythology drama, which stars Jeff Goldblum as the all-powerful King of the Gods, Zeus.

From the writer of The End of the F*cking World and the producers of Chernobyl, the 8-episode series revolves around three humans and a demigod as they discover their connection to each other and to a long-standing ancient prophecy while being forced to contend with the corrupt and arrogant gods of Greek mythology.

The footage introduces Goldblum's stylish take on Zeus, who lives in the lap of luxury while demanding that mortals worship him. It seems his power is diminished when humans stop fearing the gods, and Zeus sets out to do something about it.

Zeus' plan involves...

No one knows chaos theory like Jeff Goldblum. In Netflix‘s new Kaos trailer, the seriously sauve actor is about to teach a lesson in vengeance, disorder, and the consequences of messing with the natural order, his order. Suppose the world’s got you on edge, and the media cycle makes you want to bury your head in the sand until November 6. In that case, Netflix is about to unleash a distraction of epic proportions, thanks to a new series about faith, defiance, and owning up to one’s mistakes.

Kaos is a dark comedy series from creator Charlie Covell and writer Georgia Christou. Georgi Banks-Davis directs five episodes of Koas, while Runyararo Mapfumo shoots the remaining three. Jeff Goldblum leads the cast, including Aurora Perrieau, Debi Mazar, Fady Elsayed, Sam Buttery, Matthew Koon, Elander Moore, Susan Wooldridge, Shila Ommi, and Amanda Douge.

The latest trailer for Netflix’s Kaos...

"I am one person. What can I do?" "All the best things are human." Netflix has revealed the full trailer for a series titled Kaos, a "modern day contemporary retelling of Greek mythology." The much crazier teaser also debuted recently. From the writer of "The End of the F*cking World" and the producers of Chernobyl. Kaos is a mythological dark-comedy series created by Charlie Covell - available for streaming in a few weeks. The series revolves around six human beings on Earth as they discover their connection to each other and to a long standing ancient prophecy while they deal with corrupt and arrogant gods of the Greek mythology. The cast features Jeff Goldblum as Zeus, Janet McTeer as Hera, Cliff Curtis as Poseidon, David Thewlis as Hades, Killian Scott as Orpheus, Nabhaan Rizwan as Dionysus, Billie Piper as Cassandra, Debi Mazar as Medusa, and Suzy Eddie Izzard as Lachy.

Jeff Goldblum is a cruel and decidedly cool King of the Gods and ruler of the world Zeus in the trailer for Netflix’s darkly comic series Kaos.

As Greek mythology gets a modern twist, an increasingly paranoid Goldblum must contend with mortals with powers to bring him down, and a dysfunctional family with powerful siblings scheming and failing among one another in the trailer that dropped on Monday.

“We need to make destruction really sing,” Goldblum, channeling Logan Roy and wearing designer track suits, says at one point in the teaser trailer for the Greek mythology drama from creator and writer Charlie Covell, who earlier wrote the British drama The End of the Fucking World for Netflix.

Kaos

Zeus ultimately comes to fear his imminent downfall and the end of the world as mortals learn what the gods have in store for them. That’s after the God of...

Netflix has launched the full official trailer for the upcoming series ‘Kaos’ in which Jeff Goldblum plays the role of the all-powerful god, Zeus.

Zeus: King of the Gods, ruler of the world. He’s cruel, stylish and all-powerful.

That is until he’s not. From BAFTA-winning screenwriter and showrunner Charlie Covell (The End Of The F***ing World), Kaos is a bold, darkly comic, contemporary take on Greek mythology: exploring love, power, and life in the underworld.

Having long enjoyed his status as king of the gods, Zeus’s reign has never been truly threatened. That is until he wakes up one morning and discovers a wrinkle on his forehead. Believing it to be the harbinger of an ancient prophecy which foretells his destruction, neurosis sets in: Zeus becomes convinced his fall is coming. As his paranoia takes hold, the god of gods – seeing signs everywhere – starts to dangerously self-destruct.

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers for “Kaos,” which will release on Netflix Aug. 29.

The upcoming Netflix drama “Kaos” is an old tale with a distinctly modern spin. Jeff Goldblum stars as Zeus, king of the gods, but in this telling he’s an aging, sexually incontinent, increasingly paranoid figure — Logan Roy springs to mind — trying to keep his grip on his family and his empire.

“Why do we come back to myths?” says creator Charlie Covell, musing on the source material of the series, which drops on Aug. 29. “They’re timeless; the issues are eternal.” Indeed, the story has been a long time in the making for Covell, who sees the themes of “power, abuse of power, love, death, family and dysfunctional family” as continually relevant — and eternally fascinating — to audiences.

“Kaos,” like “Succession,” centers on powerful siblings at each other’s throats, but these are no mere mortals...
