Marvel Comics is home to a lot of gods, including multiple gods who oversee death, like Hela and Lady Death. The sentient cosmic representation of death is more than capable of handling the dead and dying on its own, yet there are other gods who trample on that responsibility. Whether it’s Death, Hela, or Hades, every god has a role.

Because Marvel is host to so many mythologies, it can be confusing to understand why there is a redundancy of gods. An Abstract Entity, like Death, is a godly cosmic embodiment of a concept, acting as the mystical source for the concept itself. Death, as a living concept, is the reason living things die.

However, the existence of gods like Hela isn’t a redundancy. She, alongside every other god of death, is a living "person" with a job to oversee the collection of their dead followers. She was...

After the conclusion of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, audiences should watch another Disney+ fantasy show that is equally acclaimed: Percy Jackson and the Olympians. The ending of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew aired in January 2025, wrapping up the child-friendly, Amblin-like story set within the long-running franchise. Skeleton Crew's reviews have been excellent, proving it to be one of the more beloved entries into the Star Wars franchise of late thanks to its lovable cast, compelling story, and endearing, heartwarming tone.

However, with the show coming to an end, many will be looking for a new TV show on Disney+. As it turns out, the streaming service already contains a spiritual sister series to Skeleton Crew in the form of Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Audiences already familiar with the show are eagerly anticipating Percy Jackson season 2 which began filming in August 2024. Until its release, those looking for a show that...

Solo Leveling has become the latest obsession for anime lovers, with Season 1 joining the ranks of popular recent anime series. Kicking off 2025 in style, Solo Leveling wrapped up the Red Gate arc adaptation with flawless execution from beginning to end.

Season 2 Episode 2 is now the highest-rated episode in the anime’s history, even outshining the entire Season 1. Season 2 delivers iconic Jinwoo moments, enhanced animation, thrilling action, and standout opening and ending themes, taking Solo Leveling‘s return to new heights.

Amid the excitement for future episodes, the opening sequence of the first episode may have inadvertently spoiled much of what’s to come in season 2.

This article won’t dive into the major spoilers teased in the opening, but will instead focus on a puzzling detail involving pomegranates in the opening sequence that has left fans confused.

The God of War series has evolved dramatically over the years, transforming from a rage-fueled vengeance story into an emotionally rich, character-driven narrative about growth and self-reflection. While the community has widely praised this shift, there is a segment of fans who want the fearless anti-hero back.

As the series slowly shows the emotional depth of the once-unstoppable god, fans are asking a simple question: Will they ever see the Kratos they fell in love with again? The one who didn’t care about the consequences, who thrived on raw aggression and had no problem destroying anything that crossed his path.

On 90 Day Fiance, Niles Valentine showed up for Matilda on their wedding night and she had nothing for praise for her new husband. Vanja Grbic is heartbroken again after Josko Luketin ghosts her. Joe Coan comes clean to Magda Szlachta about his fling with a friend. And Sunny Mahdi chooses Veah Netherton over his disgruntled dad. Let’s take a closer look in this recap of season 7 episode 19 Never Let Me Go.

90 Day Fiance: Niles Valentine Makes It Official

On 90 Day Fiance, Niles Valentine has come full circle since he arrived in Ghana. He overcame his own obstacles to marry Matilda before returning to America. Even if that wasn’t his intention in the beginning. Niles bought the ring, proposed and then stalled. He had lost his job and didn’t have the funds for the lavish party Matilda wanted. But with the help of local patriarch Mr.

Disney Dreamlight Valley has so many characters with a vast array of personalities that players never really know what to expect from these Npc neighbors. Particularly when fulfilling quests for friendship goals, which can center on one specific animated character, some of the dialogue and story that is involved can hold a lot of references or easter eggs, or simply be funny in its delivery. Rarely do the characters truly break the fourth wall, however, such as referencing a code that players can input in their game menu to earn free items.

It isn't unusual for Disney Dreamlight Valley to offer codes for players to plug in and get some rewards from time to time. These can often vary from providing unique furniture items for an event or occasion to simply giving extra crafting materials or money. Though the codes are typically found online on Ddv social media sites, one...

Shojo manga and anime offerings boast many strong series that are good for the soul, and with Colette Decides to Die, even the souls of the Underworld can benefit from the genre's healing influence. Hailing from the storied Hakusensha magazine Hana to Yume, home to Yona of the Dawn, Fruits Basket, and Kamisama Kiss, Colette Decides to Die follows a romantic fantasy twist with a Greek mythological twist. Despite the series debuting in 2013, it's finally getting an English print release thanks to Viz Media, with volume #1 holding a mighty 402 pages of Alto Yukimura's Greek myth romance manga.

Hana to Yume's manga series tend to receive wildly successful anime adaptations, with many of its iconic series often gracing best romance anime lists before mentioning its series' uplifting explorations of human connection. Even though many of these cases involve non-humans in the mixture, such as deities, the principle remains the same. Colette...

Get ready to embrace the dark side of Disney magic as Villains Land is set to bring 13 of Disney’s most notorious baddies to Magic Kingdom! Here’s a look at the sinister lineup and the immersive experience guests can look forward to.

After years of fans hoping for a dedicated space for Disney’s iconic villains, Disney World is finally bringing the dream (or perhaps nightmare!) to life. The exciting reveal, made by Disney Parks head Josh D’Amaro at D23 Brazil, introduces the featured Disney Villians for Villains Land—a brand-new area at Magic Kingdom where guests can get up close with characters they usually love to hate.

“Their evil ambitions give us endless possibilities to tell new stories. This new land will be home to the villains you know and loathe,” D’Amaro shared, standing before an image showcasing 13 classic Disney villains.

He further teased, “In our story,...

Age of Mythology: Retold has been a long time coming, and with a new coat of paint, it's important for casual and competitive players alike to know which God is the strongest. The community generally agrees that the competitive scene for the original game favored Set, Ra, and Zeus, but there were a few balance changes between AoM and AoM:r that have shaken this up a bit. That's not to say the whole landscape of the game has changed, and Retold is still relatively fresh, so it'll take a while as players experiment to determine which Gods truly rule.

On release, AoM: Retold includes the original pantheons from AoM; Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Set, Ra, Isis, Odin, Loki, and Thor, along with a few additional Gods that round out the Atlantean pantheon as well. These Gods all feature slightly different upgrade paths, myth units, minor God upgrades, and more, so knowing...

I am braced for heartbreak after Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2's Thalia Grace casting. As a daughter of Zeus (Lance Reddick), and given her history with Annabeth Chase (Leah Jeffries), Grover Underwood (Aryan Simhadri), and Luke Castellan (Charlie Bushnell), Thalia is poised to be a pivotal character in the series. I was glad that season 1 took time to briefly establish what happened to Thalia, informing both Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell) and the audience that she sacrificed herself to save her friends and was transformed into a pine tree that now protects Camp Half-Blood.

The Sea of Monsters, which is what season 2 will adapt, ends with the Golden Fleece healing the poisoned tree, with this magic leading to Thalia being expelled from it. Zeus' daughter only appears at the end of the book, though. However, since Smart has already been confirmed to be playing Thalia in Percy Jackson season...

Wrath of the Triple Goddess is officially on shelves, and the seventh Percy Jackson & the Olympians book revolves around a quest for the goddess Hecate. After the events of The Chalice of the Gods, Percy still needs two recommendation letters to get into New Rome University and Hecate gives him an opportunity to obtain a second one. All Percy and his friends need to do is watch the goddess' mastiff and polecat while she's away. This sounds like an easy task, but it quickly spirals into the usual life-or-death adventure.

Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson books are always introducing new figures from Greek mythology, and Hecate and her pets have intriguing backgrounds. This is why a new narrative surrounding the goddess is so exciting, though it may leave readers questioning how accurate Riordan's character is to the myths she's based on. The title of the newest Percy Jackson sequel may...

The Sandman season 2 cast brings back most of the major characters from the first season, while adding some important new names and faces to continue the Neil Gaiman storyline into its next chapter. Originally released in 1996, The Sandman comics told the story of Morpheus, also known as Dream, the ruler of the Dreaming. As one of the Endless, Dream is the being responsible for bringing dreams and nightmares into the minds of humans the true figure behind the folk tales of the Sandman. However, when a wizard captures him, he ends up imprisoned for 70 years, eventually escaping to find his entire realm has fallen to ruins.

The first season of the Netflix adaptation saw Morpheus reclaiming the dreams and nightmares that escaped to the real world, including the Corinthian, who became a serial killer. The story of Sandman season 2 will encompass The Seasons of Mists, which is one of the...

God of War’s Greek saga titles are often considered the most important part of PlayStation’s history. These were, after all, hardware-pushing titles known for their brutal combat, breathtaking actions, intense quick-time event sequences, and unbelievable-for-its-time scale.

However, whenever these games are discussed, it is difficult not to ponder one particular game design choice that Santa Monica made, starting with the first game. As many would be aware, it was the developer’s somewhat calculated move to underutilize its mythical and well-renowned cast of characters.

When watching Netflix's new Greek mythology series, Kaos, audiences will often hear the word 'veros' or 'vero' used.

Kaos is a new black comedy take on the gods of Greek mythology and stars an ensemble of A-listers as the iconic characters, including Jeff Goldblum as Zeus, David Thewlis as Hades, and Janet McTeer as Hera. 

In a similar method to Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Kaos mixes the classic myths with modern concepts and sees the gods deal with a range of first-world problems through a comedic lens.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Netflix's Kaos.

By making Riddy unhappy in the relationship and ready to leave Orpheus, Netflix's Kaos makes the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice tragic and impactful in an entirely different way. Kaos weaves together numerous Greek myths, including the minotaur, Caeneus, Dionysus, Hades and Persephone's relationship, Zeus' affairs, Ariadne, and Orpheus and Eurydice's relationship. Eurydice and Orpheus, the classic mythology characters in Kaos, are central to the plot.

Eurydice called Riddy is one of the humans with Zeus' prophecy in Kaos. However, the show makes a significant deviation when it comes to the characterization of Riddy, redefining whats considered one of the most tragic romances ever. Rather than being happily in love, Eurydice wants to leave Orpheus at the time of her death. She has fallen out of love with him. This has significant implications for the characters and plot of Kaos.

After much anticipation, the dark comedy series Kaos, created by the mind behindThe End of the F**ing World, Charlie Covell, finally premiered on Netflix on August 29, 2024! This new original series reimagines Greek mythology with a bold and modern twist, bringing the ancient gods and goddesses into a whole new light.

For those who haven't yet tuned into Kaos, the show centers around Zeus -- the all-powerful King of the Gods -- who spirals into paranoia after discovering a single wrinkle on his forehead. This seemingly small flaw sends him into a tailspin, convinced that his reign is at risk, igniting chaos not just among the gods but throughout the mortal world as well.

Since its release, Kaos has quickly become a fan favorite, captivating viewers with its witty storytelling, unique take on classic myths, and an ensemble cast that truly brings these legendary characters to life.

Popular characters like Nico di Angelo and Rachel Elizabeth Dare have yet to appear in Disney's Percy Jackson TV show. The expansion of the Percy Jackson universe might mean including Roman demigods from The Heroes of Olympus. The show could include characters from spinoffs like The Kane Chronicles and Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians saw a fantastic first season with great main characters, but the story still has many more amazing people to introduce. In addition to there being four more books with new characters in Rick Riordan's flagship Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, the bestselling author wrote some spinoffs set in the same world. This includes The Heroes of Olympus and The Trials of Apollo, both also focusing on Greek and Roman mythology, as well as the Norse mythology-inspired Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard books and the Egyptian series The Kane Chronicles.

Let me make this very clear at first: I am no expert in Greek mythology. We’re talking about Kaos here, which is the Netflix-ication of Greek mythology, and it works wonderfully. I’m sure Charlie Covell had a very exciting pitch for Netflix about the show (having a hit series in the form of The End of the F***ing World certainly helped them), and half the battle was won with the casting of Jeff Goldblum as Zeus. We’re going to look into Zeus and the other characters in this article and draw a comparison between the show’s version and Greek mythology. I’ve done quite a bit of research for this one, in case you’re wondering.

After wowing us as John Dee in The Sandman two years ago, David Thewlis is back again on Netflix. The British thespian plays the god of the Underworld, Hades, in Charlie Covell’s Kaos, which can be described as a magnificent modern-day update of Greek mythology. It’s no surprise that Thewlis has knocked it out of the park as Hades. In this article, we’re going to shed light on Hades’ journey in the show and what the future holds for him.

Before going into Hades, let us look into the Underworld of Kaos for a bit. It’s basically the place where you end up after your death and stay till you get to have your renewal.

Warning: This article contains Spoilers for Netflix's Kaos.

Kaos episode 2 shows Riddy getting stuck in the Afterlife without her gold coin, a piece of worldbuilding that shows creator Charlie Covells attention to detail when weaving real Greek mythology into the show. Netflixs dark comedy centers on the head of Mount Olympus Jeff Goldblums Zeus and three humans who have the potential to take him down. Based on the premise alone, Charlie Covell clearly drew from Greek mythology in some manner. However, Disneys Hercules proves that taking inspiration from myths doesnt mean maintaining an ounce of accuracy.

Luckily, Covell took a much more loyal approach to the myths when they wrote the script, creating a new story while capturing the spirit of the originals. Their deep love for the myths is abundantly apparent based on the Easter eggs and references hidden throughout the series. However, its also apparent from worldbuilding...

Success of shows like Ragnarok and American Gods paved the way for reimagination of established world myths in a modern setting, but the air of seriousness in the tone and usual action-adventure structure of such narratives greatly hindered the possibilities of exploration of new ideas. In that context, Charlie Covell’s dark comedy series, Kaos, a satirical, topical retelling of the Greek mythological lore set against a contemporary backdrop, shows the potential of innovation in storytelling by showcasing the similarity between real-world complications of class, social structure, segregation, and governance and the stuff of myths and epics in a quirky, unique way. Without depending on spectacle, solely driven by a taut plotline and well-written characters, Kaos is surely going to be a strong contender among top original media released on Netflix.

The Rotten Tomatoes score has been revealed for Kaos. Kaos is a just-released Netflix comedy series that plays off Greek mythology in a modern-day, contemporary reimagining. The series features Jeff Goldblum in the lead role of Zeus, along with Janet McTeer as Hera, Stephan Dillane as Prometheus, Aurora Perrineau as Riddy, Nabhaan Rizwan as Dionysus, Killian Scott as Orpheus, Misia Butler as Caeneus, Susan Wooldridge as Pious Agatha, David Thewlis as Hades, Cliff Curtis as Poseidon, and Leila Farzad as Ari.

Now, the Rotten Tomatoes score has been revealed for Kaos. At the time of writing, Kaos holds a fresh score of 75% on Rotten Tomatoes among the 24 critics who have reviewed it. The Popcornmeter (audience score) has under 50 reviews in, but so far sits at a 75%. This score is subject to change, for the show just released yesterday, August 29, meaning that far more reviews could be released in the coming days.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Kaos season 1 on Netflix.Netflix's Kaos puts a dark and comical spin on Greek mythology, and its gods seem committed to maintaining their power at all costs especially Jeff Goldblum's Zeus. Most of the immortal characters in Netflix's Kaos don't concern themselves with the wellness of human beings, and this is evident in how they trick them into believing their lives and deaths have meaning. Although many humans worship the Greek gods and goddesses, Zeus and his kin use them to preserve their own immortality.

Given how fearful Zeus is of his prophecy one that suggests his downfall is imminent perhaps it's no surprise that he'll go to such great lengths to ensure his continued survival. Zeus uses something called Meander to prolong his lifespan and preserve his power in Netflix's Kaos. Meander plays a prominent role in the god's story, but the show...

In Netflix’s new mythological dramedy Kaos, a war between humanity and the gods is brewing.

For the uninitiated, Charlie Covell’s (The End of the F–king World) latest series follows a cruel and sometimes benevolent iteration of Zeus (played by Jeff Goldblum) who’s riddled with worry after believing that a new wrinkle on his forehead is the harbinger of an ancient prophecy foretelling his destruction. As his paranoia begins to take over, the ruler of Mount Olympus starts to self-destruct.

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).

The series drops on Netflix on Thursday

Charlie Covell’s comedic drama “Kaos” hits Netflix screens on Thursday, Aug. 29, and it’s giving Greek mythology buffs a new adventure to binge, reimagining the Greek gods in a contemporary setting.

The eight-episode series, directed by Georgi Banks-Davies and Runyararo Mapfumo, will all drop at the same time on the streamer.

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. 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.”

By the sound of it, Netflix’s new modern adaptation of Greek mythology is all-encompassing, especially if you’re a stranger to the well-chiseled and ethereal gods of the Greek pantheon. But if you’re not new to this world of gods, then you’ll know that the lot we’re seeing in Kaos is only a handful of them. Already, it feels like a lot to me, but it’s still worth your time. With that said, though, what we’ve seen thus far is only the tip of the proverbial snow-capped mountain (Mount Olympus?), while the massive land mass beneath the snowline is yet to be discovered. But this doesn’t mean nothing happens in the first season. In fact, it’s an exciting piece of media that is well-paced and gives us exactly enough information to crave for more. There are certain characters that you want to root for,...

Kaos is basically about Zeus, the king of gods, and how his hunger for power destroys his reign. The Netflix modernized mythological retelling is perfectly entertaining and also quite original; it uses the gods in the most humanized way and brings them down to Earth, quite literally. In this world, the gods roam the Earth as and when they please and bring chaos with them. Zeus starts to panic when the Trojans rebel against the gods and desecrate the great art installation for the Olympians. The reason this terrifies Zeus is because there’s a prophecy that basically foretells his doom, and where does this start? When humans start to think the gods are not worth it. What Zeus doesn’t realize is that the Trojans are warring with him because he didn’t protect them, and they had everything stolen from them. The dude’s so stuck up that...

Netflixs new dark comedy Kaos is a contemporary retelling of Greek mythology, packed with twists and turns that send important messages about shifting power. The show first introduces viewers to the narrator Prometheus the god of the gods Zeus his wife Hera and his son Dionysus. After establishing the world of Greek gods and their powers, Kaos introduces characters with less power but are just as important Riddy, Caeneus, and Ari. These three humans have the same prophecy as Zeus, which isnt supposed to be possible.

Within the first episode, Riddy dies and goes to the underworld. However, she becomes trapped in the Underworld alongside Caeneus. Meanwhile, the gods try to manipulate Ari and her father, Minos, on Earth. Ari lives with debilitating guilt because she killed her twin at birth. All three of these humans start to learn that the things they know to be true arent as they seem.

Netflix comedy Kaos occasionally feels like it’s stepped out of the same universe as “Sandman.” No, I know it’s much more colorful and, well, “chaotic,” but maybe it’s the act of bringing gods to life with English accents and eccentric fashion that makes me think that way. But with that said, I think the show is a well-executed comedy that at the heart of it is about our basic human “feelings;” love, power, jealousy, hatred, you know the works. The show delivers two simple messages: worship isn’t going to get you anywhere, and power doesn’t last forever. But it’s action-packed and a lighthearted retelling, or should I say, a fictional retelling of Greek mythology that expands the story that we are already familiar with. In the world of Kaos, prophecies are what people live and die for, so we’ve got to keep that...

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.

Kaos is an eight-episode British comedy-drama that retells Greek mythology with a modern twist. Zeus, the King of the Gods, is imagined as a tracksuit-wearing immortal being who is terribly insecure about losing his power and overzealous about sex. His wife and sister, Hera, the goddess of marriage, is imagined as a jealous wife who turned Zeus’ many lovers into bees. Hera’s complex relationship with Dionysus is also hinted at in the series. Dionysus, the god of fertility, festivity, and insanity, is aptly dressed in flashy clothes, jewelry, and hard-to-miss blonde streaks. Dionysus had grown weary of his father’s lack of seriousness when it came to him. He was desperate to win Zeus’ respect, and he decided to find a purpose and make his father proud. The story of Kaos is narrated by the god of fire, Prometheus. Known as a champion of mankind, Prometheus defied the Olympian gods,...

The incredible ensemble cast of Netflix's Kaos gives memorable and hilarious performances, bringing to life Ancient Greek myths with a contemporary twist. The dark comedy Kaos follows Riddy (Eurydice), Ceaneus, and Ari (Ariadne) who are fated to bring down the Greek Gods, led by Jeff Goldblum's Zeus. The series has a sharp script, utilizes exciting cinematography, and incorporates a strong soundtrack all of which help make the series so strong.

However, none of these aspects would have mattered if it weren't for the great performances by the cast. Kaos brings together a large ensemble cast of predominantly well-established actors who masterfully characterize the Greek gods, goddesses, and heroes. However, some actors with smaller portfolios rise to the occasion of representing well-known figures from mythology in Kaos.

There’s no doubt we all have that one game that we can’t stop going back to again and again. Many titles in the current gaming landscape, like The Witcher 3, are specifically built with this in mind, having players experience the game in short bursts. Other projects, such as Red Dead Redemption, are so good that players can’t help but play it once in a while.

Games with infinite replayability are undoubtedly essential for the soul. We get so used to every aspect of the experience, and playing it again feels like going to a warm, relaxing bath. The game can prove to be so fun that it’s borderline addiction.

So, let’s take a look at a few games that offer ample motivation to dive into more than once.

Charlie Covell, creator of “The End of the F***ing World,” returns with a new series that focuses on Greek gods in modern society who discover that a trio of humans have a mysterious connection that could bring about the end of the f***ing world.

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 new Netflix series is coming out at the end of the month and the trailer was just released!

Kaos is a new Netflix series created by Charlie Covell, who was also the writer of another Netflix show, The End of the F***ing World.

This new show stars Jeff Goldblum as Zeus, king of the Gods and all powerful. The premise of Kaos is that Zeus has been ruling carefree and never truly felt threatened. That is until a wrinkle on his forehead appears that he believes to be a sign of his inevitable fall from power. While this could all just be Zeus’ paranoia, there may be some truth to his fears when it’s revealed that an old friend turned prisoner, Prometheus, is hatching a plot to destroy him.

Also starring in Kaos are Janet McTeer as Hera, David Thewlis as Hades, Rakie Ayola as Persephone, Cliff Curtis as Poseidon,...

“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.
