What happens in the Kaos trailer?

The new trailer shows off an angry Zeus (Goldblum) as he seems fed up with humanity, and slowly becomes paranoid with the fact that his reign may be ending. The trailer also highlights the rest of the cast, which includes Janet McTeer, Cliff Curtis, David Thewlis, Killian Scott, Debi Mazar, and Aurora Perrineau.

Kaos is set to premiere on Netflix exclusively on August 29, 2024.

“Having long enjoyed his status as king of the gods, Zeus’s reign has never been truly threatened,” reads the official logline. “That is until he wakes up one morning and discovers a wrinkle on his forehead. Believing it to be the harbinger of an ancient prophecy which foretells his destruction, neurosis sets in: Zeus becomes convinced his fall is coming. As his paranoia takes hold, the god of gods – seeing signs everywhere – starts to dangerously self-destruct.”

Kaos is created, written, and executive produced by Charlie Covell, who has previously worked with Netflix on the teen dark comedy The End of the F***ing World. The 10-episode series is described as a contemporary reimagining of Greek mythology, exploring themes of gender politics, power, and life in the underworld. Additional cast includes Rakie Ayola as Persephone, Stephen Dillane as Prometheus, Misia Butler as Caeneus, Stanley Townsend as Minos, and Leila Farzad as Ari, with Billie Piper and Suzy Eddie Izzard set for cameo roles.
