Jeff Goldblum in 'KAOS'

Netflix's upcoming series 'Kaos', premiering on August 29, features Jeff Goldblum as a modern version of Zeus, the Greek god whose insecurities lead him to paranoia and self-destruction as he confronts an ancient prophecy predicting his downfall. The dark comedy explores themes of power, love, and the complexities of family, with Goldblum's Zeus facing threats from his former friend Prometheus, played by Stephen Dillane, and his scheming family members, including Hera and Hades. The show, created by Charlie Covell, known for 'The End of the F***ing World', promises a quirky and irreverent take on Greek mythology, filled with danger and humor. The cast includes notable actors such as Janet McTeer, David Thewlis, and Billie Piper, contributing to the series' eclectic ensemble. The newly released trailer showcases Zeus's menacing yet quirky persona as he grapples with his place in the world. Goldblum described his character as 'complicated and charismatic, not to mention cruel,' setting the stage for a tumultuous narrative.
