"Kaos," a dark satirical comedy Netflix series, reimagines Greek mythology in a contemporary setting. Jeff Goldblum portrays a paranoid Zeus fearing the loss of his status as King of the Gods.
Zeus targets three mortals – Riddy, Orpheus, and Caneus – connected to an ancient prophecy about his end, causing catastrophes to keep humanity submissive. He also has to handle his dysfunctional family life.
"I think my favorite is fire," Zeus says in a newly released trailer.
The cast includes David Thewlis, Janet McTeer as Hera, Cliff Curtis as Poseidon, Nabhaan Rizwan, Killian Scott, Aurora Perrineau, Misia Butler, Leila Farzad, Rakie Ayola, and Stanley Townsend. The series includes cameo appearances by Billie Piper and Eddie Izzard as Greek gods.
The series is created by Charlie Covell, known for "The End of the F***ing World," and directed by Georgi Banks-Davies and Runyararo Mapfumo, known for their dark sense of humor.
