Netflix revisits Greek mythology: Kaos trailer

With Jeff Goldblum as Zeus who wants to eradicate Humanity.

It's a story as old as time… The Gods, creators of Men and Life on Earth, can no longer stand their way of living this gift, so they decide to eradicate them! Netflix will replay this melody and certain passages from Greek mythology in Kaosa new, slightly offbeat fantasy series, where Jeff Goldblum will play a very angry Zeus.

“Zeus has long enjoyed his status as king of the gods… until one day, upon waking, he discovers a wrinkle on his forehead. A dangerous neurosis sets in, followed by paranoia: Zeus is convinced that the end is near and sees warning signs everywhere“details the synopsis.”As for Hades, master of the Underworld and brother of Zeus on whom the latter could once count, he is secretly losing his grip on the world of darkness: a slew of dead people are waiting to be taken care of and are starting to get impatient. For their part, the inhabitants of Earth dream of change, but Poseidon, the god of the sea, storms and earthquakes (and horses too) is more concerned with the size of his superyacht and the next party. In other words, the well-being of mere mortals does not interest him that much. Unfortunately for the gods, a few mortals are beginning to realize that these beings they worship are not really there for them…

The trailer that has just been released (see below) thus sheds light on Riddy (Aurora Perrineau) and Orpheus (Killian Scott), two lovers cosmically linked in their fight against Zeus and ready to bring down the reign of the Gods!

The casting of this series will see Cliff Curtis (Fear The Walking Dead) play Poseidon, god of the seas, Debi Mazar will carry in the poisonous hair of Medusa, Janet McTeer will be Hera, goddess of marriage, then David Thewlisthe former professor Lupin ofHarry Potter will trade his benevolence for the god of the Underworld, Hades.

Kaos is designed under the scriptwriting leadership of Charlie Covell (The End of the F***ing World) and producers of the terrible series Chernobyl.

Kaos will consist of eight episodes and will be released on Netflix on August 29.
