KAOS Series Reveals Trailer and Photos

Netflix has revealed the trailer for its upcoming eight-episode KAOS series, which will launch on the streaming service on August 29, 2024. New photos from the series were also released.

Jeff Goldblum plays 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 KAOS series 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 that foretells his destruction, Zeus experiences neurosis and 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’s one-time friend and now prisoner, Prometheus, orchestrates 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.)

KAOS stars Jeff Goldblum as Zeus alongside Janet McTeer (Ozark, The Menu) as Hera, David Thewlis (Landscapers, Fargo) as Hades, Rakie Ayola (Anthony, The Pact) as Persephone, Cliff Curtis (Avatar: The Way of Water, Reminiscence) as Poseidon, Stephen Dillane (Game of Thrones, Darkest Hour) as Prometheus, and Aurora Perrineau (Westworld, When They See Us) as Riddy.

The cast also includes Nabhaan Rizwan (Industry, Station Eleven) as Dionysus, Killian Scott (Dublin Murders, ’71) as Orpheus, Misia Butler (Half Bad, The School For Good And Evil) as Caeneus, Stanley Townsend (The Current War, Becoming Elizabeth) as Minos, and Leila Farzad (I Hate Suzie, Better) as Ari. Billie Piper (I Hate Suzie, Eternal Beauty) and Suzy Eddie Izzard join the cast in cameo roles.
