Kaos (TV series)
2024 British television series
Kaos (stylised as KAOS) is a British mythological dark comedy television series created by Charlie Covell for Netflix. It revolves around three humans as they discover their common connection to a prophecy and to each other while dealing with the corrupt and arrogant gods of Greek mythology. The eight-part series was released on Netflix on 29 August 2024. In October 2024, it was cancelled after one series.
Premise
The all-powerful yet insecure Greek god Zeus keeps his Titan brother Prometheus shackled to the side of a cliff, torturing him as punishment for having dared to interfere with his arbitrary and autocratic rule. Prometheus, who acts throughout as narrator, tells of a prophecy: "A line appears, the order wanes, the family falls, and Kaos reigns." Having for many years bided his time, Prometheus now activates his plan to overthrow Zeus with the help of the prophecy and the unwitting involvement of three mortal humans: Eurydice, Caeneus, and Ariadne.
