Netflix's Kaos creator offers season 2 update
Kaos creator Charlie Covell has spoken about the possibility of a second season, saying they have “many ideas.”
The Netflix show serves as a contemporary take on Greek mythology, with the all-powerful Zeus (Jeff Goldblum) beginning to self-destruct and grow distrustful of his followers after he spots a wrinkle on his forehead.
With a whole host of other Greek gods being shown on screen, the show has proved popular with critics and audiences thus far, and now Covell has offered their thoughts on a potential follow-up.

“I think anything is possible,” they told Cosmopolitan UK. “My dream was three seasons. I’ve got many ideas and a strong sense of what I’d want to do with it. There’s definitely more. I also didn’t want to do an ending that was a total cliffhanger.
“I hope that it feels satisfying as a season one in its own right, and there’s always hope for more. Because I really would love to do more and work with those actors and that team. It was a bit of a dream come true.”
Covell, who previously created The End of the F***ing World, also spoke about Kaos on a wider level, detailing their inspirations as they remarked: “I was a massive nerd who was obsessed with the original Clash of the Titans film; I watched it weekly, if not daily.
“I got given a book of Greek mythology for children, and I just loved it. As I got older, I started really enjoying any reinterpretations of the myths, like Margaret Atwood's The Penelopiad and Carol Ann Duffy's The World's Wife.

“Ultimately, I wanted to tell a story about power and love and revolution. It was about connecting the gods and the humans, and using Zeus's breakdown as the spine of the piece... The thing about the myths is they are eternally relevant because they are so deeply human.”
“You can press pause on any moment in human history, and the myths will be relevant in that moment, because they're about power, death, abuse of power, oppressed people, dysfunctional families and love in all forms.”
Kaos is streaming on Netflix.
