“Kaos,” the Greek mythology comedy series that premiered in late August, has been canceled at Netflix, Variety is reporting. The show premiered on August 29 and starred Jeff Goldblum as the all-mighty Zeus, albeit in a more whimsical and insecure portrayal. In a modern-day setting, Zeus has chained up Prometheus after interfering with his godly rule over humanity. Prometheus then attempts to overthrow Zeus with the help of three humans, Eurydice, Ariadne and Caeneus.
Charlie Covell (“The End of the F***ing World”) wrote the entire eight-episode series. The show did spend four weeks in the Netflix top 10 charts upon its release, but failed to garner a significant audience in that time. It peaked at number three on the English language TV chart in its second week of availability.
The ensemble cast included Janet McTeer as Hera, Zeus’ wife, Nabhaan Rizwan as Dionysus, David Thewlis as Hades, Rakie Ayola as Persephone, Stephen Dillane as Prometheus, Aurora Perrineau as Riddy and Debi Mazar as Medusa.
The internet let out a collective *yawn* when the cancellation was announced.
We need a German word for ‘Streamer cancelled a series I’ve never heard of until they announced the cancellation’ https://t.co/tbwBVdiJ6d

I'm not as much of a "CoMiCs NeEd MoAr DiVeRsItY & iNcLuSiOn" advocate as my girlfriend often is, but we both love funny books, crispy bacon, straight bourbon and hip hop. Add yet, we never vote the same, so we cancel each other out... and that works perfectly in my book!
