Netflix cancels Mythology-based comedy ‘Kaos’ after one season

Netflix has given Kaos the boot after just one season, leaving Zeus played by Jeff Goldblum and his Mount Olympus drama stranded. Despite making a splash in the streamer’s top 10, this quirky mythology-meets-modern-day series didn’t hit good-tier numbers, with 14.9 million views in its first four weeks. Created by The End of the F**ing World*Charlie  Covell, the show featured mortals, myths, and mischief galore, but alas, the viewership didn’t please the streaming gods. Star Aurora Perrineau, who played Eurydice, called the cancellation "tragic," adding they made something “weird, dark, and hilarious”—but now, it's game over for the gods.
