Synopsis, cast, and trailer
Based on its synopsis and preview, it appears that the series KAOS will offer a unique take on Greek mythology, with an eccentric and captivating feel. Notably, Timothy Goldblum portrays Zeus, whose concern arises when he discovers a wrinkle, suggesting his invincibility may be waning and the strength of his rule as King of the Gods could decline.
Zeus finds himself growing paranoid and selfish as he tries to reclaim control of his destiny, but the rest of the gods around him, including Hades, Hera, and Dionysus, are also in tricky positions. Meanwhile, three mortals on Earth are becoming aware of their connection to the Greek gods, and this realization of their connection to each other and the gods has a hand in all of their destinies. Its a unique, larger-than-life, and high-concept series you have to see to believe.
Check out the official synopsis via Netflix:
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.
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 own 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 out of control and on course for a cosmic collision with his father.
On Earth people are aching for change, however Poseidon (Cliff Curtis), God of Sea, Storms and Earthquakes (and Horses) is more concerned with the size of his super-yacht and where the next party is at. The wellbeing of mere mortals is of little interest to him. Unfortunately for the Gods some of those mortals are beginning to realise this…
These mortals – Riddy (Aurora Perrineau), Orpheus (Killian Scott), Caneus (Misia Butler) and Ari (Leila Farzad) – come from different walks of life and are all cosmically connected in the battle against Zeus. Each one has a very different role to play, any one of them may be destined to bring down the Gods.
In the upcoming “Jurassic Park” series, the beloved actor Jeff Goldblum will be joined by Janet McTeer, an actress who has been nominated for both Academy Awards and Emmys. Notably, McTeer hasn’t starred in a Netflix original film before, but she has graced two of their original series. In season 2 of “Marvel’s Jessica Jones,” she appeared in eleven episodes, and she also played a recurring role in “Ozark.”
In the show “KAOS,” you’ll recognize many well-known actors such as Cliff Curtis, David Thewlis, Debi Mazar, Aurora Perrineau, and others. For fans of Greek mythology, watching this series offers an additional layer of excitement, as they get to match names with faces and understand how these characters are depicted within the narrative. This portrayal of gods may be unlike any you’ve seen before.

The intriguing aspect is that the trailer might not instantly captivate you, or conversely, its enigmatic approach could pique your curiosity more than a conventional, straightforward trailer. Essentially, it comprises an assortment of vivid or monochromatic scenes that may seem disconnected, but rest assured, they will coalesce into a thrilling, endlessly engaging eight-episode series.
