Following a brief ‘first look’ clip back in March, Netflix has now released a true teaser trailer for the darkly comedic Greek mythology reimagining series “Kaos”.
Set in contemporary times, Jeff Goldblum will portray the seemingly all-powerful, yet desperately insecure and vengeful Zeus who wakes up one morning and discovers wrinkles.
Neurosis sets in, setting him off on a dangerous, paranoid path as he’s convinced his fall is coming. Hera (Janet McTeer), Queen of the Gods, finds Zeus’ growing paranoia forcing her to act.
Zeus’ once-reliable brother, Hades (David Thewlis) is secretly losing his grip on the underworld as the backlog of dead piles up. Zeus’ rebellious son, Dionysus, (Nabhaan Rizwan), is out of control and on course for a cosmic collision with his father.
Meanwhile, Poseidon (Cliff Curtis) is more concerned with the size of his super-yacht and where the next party is at.
Several mortals also come into play including Riddy (Aurora Perrineau), Orpheus (Killian Scott), Caneus (Misia Butler) and Ari (Leila Farzad).
Billie Piper, Rakie Ayola and Stanley Townsend also have roles in the eight-episode series which hails from Charlie Covell (“The End of the F—ing World”).
Georgi Banks-Davies and Runyararo Mapfumo direct the series which will premiere on Netflix in full on August 29th.
