Jeff Goldblum leads a family of dysfunctional Greek Gods in “KAOS ”first-look photos
The series heads down to earth in August.
It appears even Gods from Greek mythology enjoy the occasional backyard barbecue.
Netflix dropped first-look photos of Charlie Covell's upcoming contemporary Greek mythology series KAOS, starring Jeff Goldblum as Zeus. The images also previewJanet McTeer as Hera — queen of the Gods and wife of Goldblum's king of the Gods — and Nabhaan Rizwan as their son Dionysus.

As Zeus, Goldblum is a "cruel, stylish and all-powerful" ruler of the world — "that is, until he's not," reads the synopsis for the dramedy premiering Aug. 29. His reign "has never been truly threatened" — "until he wakes up one morning and discovers a wrinkle on his forehead."
"Believing it to be the harbinger of an ancient prophecy which foretells his destruction, neurosis sets in," the synopsis continues. "Zeus becomes convinced his fall is coming. As his paranoia takes hold, the God of Gods — seeing signs everywhere — starts to dangerously self-destruct."

It turns out his one-time friend and now-prisoner Prometheus (Stephen Dillane) is orchestrating a plan to bring him down. "The plan involves three disparate humans, all of whom are totally unaware of their cosmic significance or the part they must play in saving the world," it concludes. "No pressure. (Some pressure)."

The cast is rounded out by Aurora Perrineau (as Riddy); Killian Scott (as Orpheus); Misia Butler (as Caeneus); Stanley Townsend (as Minos); Leila Farzad (as Ari); David Thewlis (as Hades); Rakie Ayola (as Persephone); and Cliff Curtis (as Poseidon).
The first-look photos above see Zeus firing up the grill (Gods, they're just like us), Hera looking concerned, and Dionysus rocking a very loud outfit.
"It's basically like a contemporary reimagining of Greek mythology, so it's a big show," Covell, the BAFTA winner behind The End of the F***ing World,told RadioTimes of the series in 2019. "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."
KAOSpremieres Aug. 29 on Netflix.
