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 was a modern-day contemporary retelling of Greek and Roman mythology. The series starred Jeff Goldblum as Zeus, who chained fellow god Prometheus (Stephen Dillane) to a cliff as punishment for interfering with Zeus’ rule. Prometheus then looked to overthrow Zeus with...

The Fates have spoken: Kaos has been cancelled after just one season at Netflix, TVLine has confirmed.

On Thursday, series creator Charlie Covell (who also wrote the U.K. series The End of the F***ing World) said he was “gutted” by the news that Kaos would not return for Season 2, urging fans to keep the show in the TV conversation despite its cancellation.

“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.

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 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).

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 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,...

Misia Butler shared how his time as Caeneus in Netflix's Kaos helped him become more empowered as a trans man himself.

Within the world of Kaos, Caeneus was once a female Amazon but always knew they were a boy. Eventually, his mother helps send him away from their camp, whose people would kill him for the way he is.

Sadly, the Amazons eventually tracked down Caeneus and murdered him, as they saw his change of gender as nothing short of heresy.

Kaos actor Misia Butler shared what he wants from Caeneus in a hypothetical Season 2 of the recent Netflix series.

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

For one, Aurora Perrineau's Riddy finally left Killian Scott's Orpheus after getting back to the land of the living, leaving the door wide open for her love story with Caeneus to continue. Speaking of the former Amazon, he's still in the Underworld, having just discovered he has the power to renew souls.

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.

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).

Here’s Netflix’s official synopsis: “Zeus has long enjoyed his status as King of The Gods. That is until he wakes up one morning and discovers a wrinkle on his forehead.

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. If you know anything about the forthcoming series, you know that it stars Jeff Goldblum as Zeus, king of the gods. But what happens when Zeus fears his power begins to slip away from his grasp?

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. Wondering what to expect from the new fantasy series and what time you can start watching? Here's a preview of Kaos including everything you need to know before you check out the series on Aug. 29.

“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 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.

Jeff Goldblum’s Zeus is sick to death of being underappreciated in the face of a fast-moving, ever-changing world filled with ungrateful humans obsessed with their miserable lives. Nowadays, people pray less, and when’s the last time anyone thanked the Father of the Gods for all they have? As Zeus sees it, humans only call to a higher power when they feel threatened. If that’s the case, why bother to bestow blessings upon them when you could have them praying in fear instead? Humans need an awe-inspiring old-fashioned disaster to remind them who’s in charge. Who better to give it to them than Zeus? This line of thinking is unreasonable. It’s madness. It’s Kaos. Let Goldblum show you how to make humans worship again in Netflix‘s Kaos teaser trailer.

Percy Jackson for Adults? Jeff Goldblum Is A Paranoid Zeus in Upcoming Netflix Series - Main Image

Netflix is set to premiere its latest Greek mythology project, in which Jeff Goldblum will play the king of the gods in a contemporary setting.

Due to the story's theme, comparisons with the Disney+ show Percy Jackson and the Olympians are inevitable. Kaos, however, sets itself apart by putting a dark comedy twist on the relationship of Olympus’ first family headed by Zeus, who, after discovering (gasp!) a wrinkle on his forehead, increasingly develops trust issues.

While Zeus spirals into paranoia, the rest of his family seemingly plots against him, all the more stoking up his fears. “It’s so brutal,” Janet McTeer, who plays Hera, shares in an interview. “They will do anything for their own pleasure. They don’t care what it costs people or the earth.”

With his electric charisma, ageless good looks, and ineffable cool, Jeff Goldblum has been godlike for a long time now. But in The End Of The F***ing World creator Charlie Covell's upcoming Netflix dark comedy series Kaos, which offers up a contemporary twist on Greek mythology, Goldblum gets to be an actual God for the first time.

Netflix has dropped a teaser trailer for the comedy fantasy 8-episode series ‘Kaos’, a modern-day contemporary retelling of Greek mythology.

Zeus (Jeff Goldblum) has long enjoyed his status as King of The Gods. That is until he wakes up one morning 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, God of the Underworld, is secretly losing his grip on his dark dominion. There is a backlog of dead waiting to be processed and they are growing restless. Hera (Janet McTeer), Queen of the Gods, exercises dominion on Earth — and over Zeus — in her unique way. But her power and freedom become threatened by Zeus’ growing paranoia, and she is forced to act while Zeus’ rebellious son, Dionysus, (Nabhaan Rizwan), is...

Charlie Covell might be known for the successful adaptation of the comic series The End of the F***ing World, but the British writer is currently working on a new show for Netflix, which is going to be released later this year. Kaos is an original work by Covell that is going to be a fantastic, mythology-inspired black comedy that will follow the adventures of Ancient Greek gods in a modern setting. Ahead of this year’s premiere – a release window has not been specified, as of the time of writing – Netflix has released the first trailer for the series as well.

Kaos is going to have eight episodes, as has been confirmed by the streaming service, and will see legendary actor Jeff Goldblum as the ruler of the Greek pantheon, Zeus; Goldblum replaced Hugh Grant, who was initially attached to the role. You can check out what Goldblum looks like...

"Honor me... that's a command, not a request." Netflix has unveiled a first look teaser trailer for a series titled Kaos, described as a "modern day contemporary retelling of Greek mythology." Jeff Goldblum is Zeus, the King of the Gods. All-powerful, cruel, occasionally benevolent... he has no idea that the plot to take him down has begun. 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. The series revolves around six humans 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 main cast includes Goldblum as Zeus (introduced below), Janet McTeer as Hera, Cliff Curtis as Poseidon, David Thewlis as Hades, Killian Scott as Orpheus, Debi Mazar as Medusa, and Nabhaan Rizwan as Dionysus.

Kaos has been a long-time coming. Netflix first announced it had commissioned this British dark comedy reimagining Greek mythology back in 2018, but the pandemic meant that filming only started last year, and there’s already been one major cast replacement.

And even though we’re no closer to an official release date, the impressive cast list, unique premise and solid production team make Kaos well worthy of your attention.

‘Nothing Is Sacred’ in This Bold Take On Greek Myth

Set over eight one-hour episodes, Kaos is a contemporary reimagining of Greek Mythology exploring themes of gender politics, power, and life in the underworld. The official synopsis describes how six humans will discover they’re part of an ancient prophecy:

“Zeus has a wrinkle. He’s worried it might mean the end of the world and it might. Because on Earth, six humans unaware of their importance or their connection to...
