Netflix Cancels Jeff Goldblum’s Show ‘Kaos’ After One Season
Article by August Tales
Fresh from the Netflix production warehouse, ‘Kaos’, featuring Hollywood star Jeff Goldblum, has run its full course – a short-lived eight-episode lifespan, sparking shock waves among its budding fan base.
Yes, that’s right, ‘Kaos’ is signing off from the streaming platform. The industry buzz, confirmed by Variety, indicates that the series won’t be returning for a second season. With the witty charm of Goldblum sprinkled throughout the show, the expectation of Season 2 was almost a given. Now, however, fans are left speculating about the fate of Zeus and Prometheus post the laughter-packed Season 1. The curtain drops around Charlie Covell’s brainchild, which will remain unresolved following introductory cliffhangers.
Stellar Cast on Board
The show’s roster was nothing short of impressive, featuring Aurora Perrineau as Eurydice, Cliff Curtis as Poseidon, David Thewlis as Hades and others. With only a single-season stint, sentiments among cast members were understandably raw.
Reeling in the Shock Waves
Aurora Perrineau, who embodied the character Eurydice, initially shared her thoughts on Instagram following the surprise announcement. Despite her subsequent removal of the note thanking fans for their support, it amplified the emotional turmoil of parting ways with a project deeply rooted in months of dedication.
The Tearful Farewell of KAOS
As the news swept across the media, Perrinea admitted, “Well… this one hurts.” Openly sharing her sentiments, she acknowledged the special connection she felt auditioning for a Charlie Covell script. It hit differently and deeply resonated with her. She confessed her pride, both in the work everyone poured into the project and her own growth throughout her character arc.
Getting cast gave her an exhilarating feeling of self-actualization. “When I got cast, I couldn’t believe that someone SAW me,” she admitted. Being seen not just as a minority or a survivor of sexual assault, but as someone worthy of leading a show was an eye-opening experience.
The Magic Behind the Scenes of Kaos
The journey was only amplified as Perrineau discovered the magnitude of talent involved. The ensemble of directors, Georgi Banks-Davies and Runyararo Mapfumo, and the rest of the cast heightened the experience. An atmosphere of camaraderie developed, resulting in lifelong friendships for Perrineau.
Investing a moment of gratitude towards the makeup and wardrobe departments, Netflix, the production team, and the enthusiastic crew, she tenderly reminisced her wild ride and gave thanks for the opportunity to play Eurydice in this roller coaster of kooky adventure, called ‘Kaos’.
As the unexpected closing chapter of ‘Kaos’ is written, a virtual mourning envelops the series. In the realm of social media, @ComicBook welcomes all the pop culture conversation around the show’s premature departure.
