Variety confirmed in a recent report that Netflix decided not to move forward with ‘Kaos,’ which premiered in late August.
The show, which starred Jeff Goldblum as Zeus, debuted to mostly favorable reception, holding a 76% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but didn’t manage to create significant buzz.
The show performed well in its first few weeks, landing in Netflix’s Top 10 English-language shows. During the week of September 2-8, it peaked at No. 3 and gathered over 14 million views.
The dark comedy followed three humans who found out they were connected to Greek gods. The cast included Aurora Perrineau as Eurydice, Cliff Curtis as Poseidon, Janet McTeer as Hera, Killian Scott as Orpheus, Nabhaan Rizwan as Dionysus, and Misia Butler as Caenus, among others.
After the cancellation, Perrineau took to social media to bid farewell to the cast and crew of ‘Kaos.’ She specifically thanked Scott, Rizwan, and Butler as well as the team members who reassured her about her casting.
The actress’ message went on, “Everyone was brilliant and uniquely themselves. Every performance surprised and excited me. I can’t believe I got to do this with all of you. We made something weird, dark, hilarious, deranged, and absolutely tragic – something entirely human. This is a feeling I plan to take with me. Thanks for letting me be your Riddy. I had the time of my life!”
Charlie Covell created ‘Kaos’ for Netflix while Georgi Banks-Davies and Runyararo Mapfumo directed its eight episodes.
