Jeff Goldblum’s newest role is a departure from his casual persona as the face of Apartments.com; he will be portraying none other than the formidable Zeus.
Netflix tantalized viewers with a glimpse of KAOS, a modern twist on Greek mythology crafted by Charlie Covell, known for The End of the F***ing World. The teaser shows off a tyrannical yet sometimes gracious Zeus, played by Goldblum, unaware a conspiracy against him is brewing.
Charlie Covell’s Zeus is depicted as tremendously powerful but wracked with insecurities, particularly at the prospect of losing his godly crown. Goldblum, as Zeus, ominously declares in the teaser, “Honor me. That’s a command, not a request.”
An official synopsis reveals Zeus waking up to a worrisome wrinkle, which he believes signifies the onset of a dire prophecy leading to his demise. Paranoia ensues, and as Zeus begins to unravel, it turns out that he is indeed correct to be concerned. Prometheus, a former ally now imprisoned by Zeus, is actively plotting his downfall. This plan involves three humans, oblivious to their destined roles in a saga that could save the world.
The star-studded cast of ‘KAOS’ includes actors such as David Thewlis as Hades and Janet McTeer as Hera, alongside many others. Billie Piper and Eddie Izzard are set for cameo appearances.
The series is slated for release in 2024 with a total of eight episodes, though an exact date has yet to be revealed.
