What is the plot of the Netflix series, KAOS?

KAOS is a gritty comedy that revolves around Zeus (Jeff Goldblum). He sits comfortably at the top of the mythological food chain until he discovers a wrinkle on his forehead and begins to get paranoid as he believes his downfall is imminent.

As per Tudum, Prometheus, who was once Zeus' friend is seen hatching a plan to bring him down. This plan involves three humans, who are unaware of the part they play in saving the world. Zeus battles his biggest fears as he navigates through several obstacles. He must make an important choice that could endanger life as we know it and lead to the extinction of humanity.

This crucial choice, which the story explores, is integral as it has the potential to upset the delicate balance between gods and mortals. It could have potentially disastrous results that could lead to anarchy and unrest in both worlds.

The Netflix series is created by Charlie Covell, the creative force behind The End of the F***ing World. Talking about KAOS, which explores the conflict between divine authority and human vulnerability, Charlie told Radio Times:

"It’s basically like a contemporary reimagining of Greek Mythology, so it’s a big show. It’s a 10-hour series for Netflix, and hopefully with a kind of Game of Thrones scale — but tonally it should [feel] End of the World-y, in terms of its humor and its soundtrack and the look of it."

They added:

"It's set contemporary but Other. And it's taking on the myths and kind of flipping them on their heads, basically."
