If you enjoy Greek mythology, you should be aware of Kaos, a recent Netflix original series.
The dark comedy, which comes from the minds of The End of the F***ing World, stars Jeff Goldblum as Zeus, whose life starts to fall apart around him as Earthly pandemonium breaks out.
“Zeus has long relished his position as the Gods’ King. That is, until one morning when he sees a wrinkle on his forehead upon waking up. When neurosis sets in, he embarks on a perilous, paranoid journey.
“Zeus becomes convinced his fall is coming – and starts to see signs of it everywhere.” Looking forward to it!
‘Kaos’ Season 1 Release Date: When is it going to be released?
Netflix will debut Kaos on August 29, 2024. Netflix will release all eight episodes at once, as is customary. Netflix confirmed that it had commissioned KAOS back in 2018, thus the show has had a lengthy wait to premiere.
We’re getting close to the show’s premiere; casting was revealed in 2022, and filming began that same year.

‘Kaos’ Season 1 Plot: What to Expect with it?
“Jeff Goldblum plays Zeus, king of the gods,” reads the logline for KAOS. All-powerful, merciless, and sometimes kind… He is unaware that a plan to assassinate him has started.”
In the television series, Zeus, the head of the pantheon of gods, learns a horrible reality one day: he has a wrinkle on his forehead. Goldblum characterizes him as a “god with trust issues” as he descends into a road of instability and delusion, believing his downfall is imminent.
He isn’t entirely incorrect, though, because Prometheus has a plot involving three crucial persons and is trying to bring him down.
Greek mythology is the main theme of the narrative, but McTeer also calls it a “deeply normal family drama”.
Is there a trailer for Kaos?
Indeed! We saw Kaos for the first time on March 19, 2024. It offers us a peek of this redesigned Zeus and his opulent realm, contrasting its bucolic setting with the mayhem on Earth. Take a look.
