Kaos Teaser Trailer Previews Netflix’s Jeff Goldblum Dark Comedy Series

comingsoon.net:

Netflix has released a new teaser trailer for its upcoming dark comedy, which reimagines Greek mythology into a modern-day setting. The series is scheduled to make its debut on August 29.

“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. And he’s right to be worried. Zeus’s one time friend and now prisoner, Prometheus, is orchestrating a plan to bring him down. The plan involves three disparate humans, all of whom are totally unaware of their cosmic significance or the part they must play in saving the world. No pressure. (Some pressure.)”

The teaser trailer features Jeff Goldblum as Zeus, who is disappointed at how humans have forgotten to honor the gods. Because of this, he enjoys spending his time creating calamities and disasters for humans to bear. The video also introduces Janet McTeer as Hera, Cliff Curtis as Poseidon, Nabhaan Rizwan as Dionysus, Aurora Perrineau as Riddy, David Thewlis as Hades, Killian Scott as Orpheus, Daniel Lawrence Taylor as Theseus, Debi Mazar as Medusa, and more.

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
