The series is a wild ride that was created by none other than Charlie Covell, best known for “The End of the F*****g World”. So, let's dive deep and see what KAOS has planned for us!
Jeff Goldblum as King of the Gods
When you think of a powerful, stylish, and sometimes cruel character, who else comes to mind but Jeff Goldblum? Yes, you read that right—Goldblum is playing Zeus, the King of the Gods, in KAOS. This fresh dramedy brings a quirky twist to Greek mythology: Zeus wakes up one morning to find a wrinkle on his forehead, which he believes is the telltale sign of an ancient prophecy foretelling his downfall. So, get ready for a paranoid and self-destructing God of Gods!
Goddess Hera and The Family of Gods
But Zeus isn't alone in this chaos. His Queen Hera, played by the talented Janet Mcteer, is right by his side. Hera lives a luxurious life, but as Zeus gets more obsessed with his prophecy, her life gets increasingly strained. But beware, for Hera has a secret of her own that could potentially lead to her undoing. As seen in the series, Hera might well decide to become independent, to save herself from her rocky marriage.
Dionysus, played by Nabhaan Rizwan, is another key character in KAOS. As Zeus's favorite son, Dionysus is the god of Pleasure, Madness, and Wild Frenzy. However, a moment of insensitivity from Zeus pushes Dionysus to act out, creating repercussions that even he couldn't have anticipated.
Humans Under Gods
The show doesn't just revolve around the gods, but also the humans living under their rule. Let's take a look at Riddy, played by Aurora Perrineau. Despite her seemingly perfect life as the wife of the world-famous musician Orpheus, Riddy feels anything but significant. But a chance encounter at a supermarket is about to change her life. Orpheus, portrayed by Killian Scott, is up for a life test when his world gets ripped apart. He must decide if he's willing to defy death itself.
Plotting for a Downfall
Finally, Zeus should definitely be worried about Prometheus, his former friend who is now his prisoner. With a trio of oblivious humans under his influence, Prometheus plots Zeus's downfall. Can Zeus survive this threat, or will his reign finally crumble? Let's find out on August 29th!
KAOS is an audacious spin on Greek mythology, weaving a tale of power struggles, deception, and family drama. With a powerful cast and thrilling plot, this series is sure to keep you on the edge of your seats.
So there you have it, folks! A ravishing new look at KAOS! Only this time, you're not just spectating the gods, you're part of it. Mark your calendars for August 29 and get ready to stream the mayhem that is about to unfold. Let's plunge into a world where gods mess up, humans are fate's puppets, and chaos reigns!
