The recent decision by Netflix to cancel the series Kaos has left fans in an uproar. Viewers are expressing their frustration and disappointment over the sudden end to the show after only one season. Created by Charlie Covell, known for his work on End of the F***ing World, Kaos was released on the streaming service in late August and consisted of eight episodes.
The story takes place in a modern-day version of Crete, set in the city of Heraklion. It follows the journey of three humans as they unravel their connection to a prophecy and to each other, all while dealing with the corrupt and egotistical gods of Greek and Roman mythology. The star-studded cast included Jeff Goldblum as Zeus, Janet McTeer as Hera, Aurora Perrineau as Eurydice, Cliff Curtis as Poseidon, David Thewlis as Hades, Rakie Ayola as Persephone, Killian Scott as Orpheus, Debi Mazar as Medusa, and Billie Piper as Cassandra.
Unfortunately, just a little over a month after its release, Kaos was given the axe. In a now-deleted post, Perrineau, who played Eurydice, shared the news with fans, expressing her own disappointment and saying she was "hurting" after the decision to not continue the series.
The cancellation of Kaos has not only left fans devastated, but also frustrated. Many have taken to social media to express their thoughts and feelings about the abrupt end to the show. Some have even questioned the point of subscribing to Netflix if their favorite shows keep getting cancelled.
Despite spending four weeks in the top 10 charts upon its release, Kaos failed to attract a significant audience. It peaked at number three on the English language TV chart in its second week, with a peak viewership of only 5.9 million. This was a far cry from the recent crime drama Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, which garnered 19.5 million views in its first week.
According to Covell, Kaos was originally planned to be a three-season series. The first season's finale left room for several potential storylines to be explored in future installments, such as the weakening of Zeus's power and the rise of Prometheus as a new leader. However, with the show's cancellation, these storylines will remain unfinished.
In a heartfelt statement, Perrineau expressed her gratitude for the experience of working on Kaos. She praised her co-stars and the unique performances they brought to the show. She also described the series as "weird, dark, hilarious, deranged, and absolutely tragic" and expressed her hope to carry the feeling of being a part of it with her.
The Agency has reached out to Netflix for comment on the cancellation. In the meantime, Kaos can still be streamed on the platform.
