If you’re a huge fan of Greek mythology, it’s time to put Netflix’s new series Kaos on your watchlist! The first teaser for this series is here, and it sees Jeff Goldblum putting a modern and darkly comic twist on the powerful Greek god Zeus.

Kaos hails from Charlie Covell (The End of the F***ing World) and it will introduce you to Zeus like you’ve never seen him before… and we’re not only talking about those tracksuits. He’s cruel, all-powerful, and deeply paranoid, ready to hold onto his status as the king of all gods by any means necessary.

The trouble starts when Zeus discovers a wrinkle on his forehead, the first sign of mortality that takes his paranoia to the next level. He’s convinced his fall is inevitable and sees signs of doom wherever he turns, while Prometheus tries to orchestrate a plan to bring him down.

In addition to Goldblum as Zeus, the star-studded cast of this series will also include David Thewlis as Hades, Janet McTeer as Hera, Cliff Curtis as Poseidon, Nabhaan Rizwan as Dionysus, Killian Scott as Orpheus, and Rakie Ayola as Persephone, among others.

Kaos will feature a total of six episodes, set to stream on Netflix later this year.
