It's all about the money, for Netflix at least.

KAOS, Netflix’s ambitious reimagining of Greek mythology, has been officially canceled after only one season, much to the dismay of fans. The series, launched just weeks ago, had generated significant buzz due to its star-studded cast and unique take on ancient myths. However, despite the hype, the show failed to garner the expected viewership.

Insiders suggest that the cancellation could be due to Netflix’s increasingly cautious approach to high-budget productions, which need to quickly justify their costs through strong engagement. While KAOS had the potential for a multi-season arc, it appears that the combination of steep production costs and lukewarm reception cut its journey short.

Sad news, indeed - we really enjoyed the first season and were looking forward to seeing more. This move by Netflix adds KAOS to the growing list of shows canceled after a single season, sparking discussions about the platform's evolving content strategy. Will Netflix continue to invest in epic, high-concept projects, or shift towards safer, more cost-effective programming? Let's keep our fingers crossed for the former.

KAOS (2024)
Cast: Jeff Goldblum, Janet McTeer, David Thewlis, Rakie Ayola, Cliff Curtis, Stephen Dillane, Aurora Perrineau, Nabhaan Rizwan
