Zeus was once King of the Gods, the most feared and revered of all. But modern day has forgotten his power; KAOS is about to remind us all. From BAFTA winning screenwriter and showrunner Charlie Covell comes a new and contemporary take on Greek mythology that stars the OG God himself, Jeff Goldblum alongside Janet McTeer as Hera, David Thewlis as Hades, and Rakie Ayola as Persephone, to name a few in this ensemble cast. The trailer will give you the kind of unsettling chills you get on the edge of a massive storm; KAOS is set to unleash on August 29 on Netflix.
From Netflix: 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 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’s 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.)
