An A-list epic that spent 4 weeks in the top 10 charts is mercilessly murdered by Netflix, and its star isn’t holding back her thoughts

The recent cancellation of Netflix’s *Kaos* has left fans and cast members alike feeling disheartened. Announced on October 8, the Greek mythology comedy series, which debuted in late August, garnered a cult following for its unique take on ancient myths in a contemporary setting. Starring the legendary Jeff Goldblum as Zeus, the show also featured Aurora Perrineau, Leila Farzad, and Misia Butler in pivotal roles.

Despite its intriguing premise and a growing fanbase—especially on TikTok—*Kaos* has now been added to Netflix’s unfortunate list of axed fantasy series. This includes other beloved titles like *Warrior Nun*, *The Midnight Club*, and *Shadow and Bone*, leaving many viewers disillusioned with the streaming giant’s approach to original content.

Aurora Perrineau, who portrayed Eurydice, expressed her disappointment in a now-deleted Instagram post, reflecting on the pride she felt working on *Kaos*. She praised the creativity of the cast and crew and noted how the project made her feel “seen” as a woman of color in the industry. Her heartfelt message resonated with fans, underscoring the deep connection and impact the show had on its cast.

The cancellation comes amid a wider trend at Netflix, which has also cut numerous other original series this year, including *That ’90s Show* and *Buying Beverly Hills*. This has led to frustration among viewers, many of whom feel a deep attachment to the characters and stories that were abruptly left unresolved.

As someone who has felt the sting of series cancellations, like the cliffhanger ending of *Santa Clarita Diet*, it’s easy to empathize with the collective grief surrounding *Kaos*. The emotional investment in characters and narratives makes such announcements particularly soul-crushing.

Though the reasons for *Kaos*’s cancellation remain unclear, the passionate response from its fans and cast suggests that its legacy will linger, even if the show won’t return for a second season.
