Creating ‘Kaos’: Writer Charlie Covell and Star Jeff Goldblum Talk Bringing Greek Myths to Life in New Netflix Series
Writer Charlie Covell and star Jeff Goldblum bringing Greek myths to life in new Netflix series 'Kaos.'
Jeff Goldblum stars as Zeus, king of the gods, but in this telling he’s an aging, sexually incontinent, increasingly paranoid figure — Logan Roy springs to mind — trying to keep his grip on his family and his empire. Instead, Covell’s darkly funny saga is a fantastical/modern-day mashup that ranges between Zeus’ resplendent palace on Mount Olympus and the Underworld, which is envisioned as a Kafkaesque nightmare crawling with humorless civil servants. In short order, we’re introduced to a roll call of Greek mythology’s MVPs, among them Medusa (Debi Mazar), Orpheus and Euridyce (Killian Scott and Aurora Perrineau) and Ariadne (Leila Farzad), whose paths will collide in an epic climax.
