Netflix has axed “Kaos” after one season, and despite high praise from RottenTomatoes and one of our writers calling it his favorite fantasy comedy, the show has come to an untimely end, according to Variety It came to an end

The streaming service has apparently decided not to proceed with a second season of “Chaos” just over a month after its August debut The series, a modern take on Greek mythology, starred Jeff Goldblum, Janet McTeer, David Thewlis, and Billie Piper

News of the cancellation first broke when Aurora Perrineau, who played Euridice on the show, posted on her Instagram (which has since been deleted) She said: “Well This hurts When I started auditioning for this show, I knew it was something special Mainly because Charlie Covell's script resonated with me like few have I knew all of these people and loved them, flaws and all For the first time in my life, I felt really proud of myself Because they left everything on the floor” (h/t What's on Netflix)

Although the post did not explicitly state that “Chaos” had been canceled, a fan asked, “Does that mean Chaos has been canceled?” to which the actress confirmed the sad news Perrineau replied, “Sadly, yes”

Despite spending four weeks on Netflix's Top 10 chart after its release, “Kaos” struggled to build a large audience; in its second week it reached #3 on the English-language TV chart, but never reached more than 59 million viewers While these numbers are not insignificant, they probably fell short of Netflix's expectations for a high-budget fantasy series, leading to its unfortunate demise

Still, it is surprising that such an interesting show as “Kaos” was cancelled Kaos” centers on the decline of Zeus (Goldblum), king of the gods, who for a long time enjoyed supreme power and a lavish lifestyle But when he notices a single wrinkle on his forehead, he is driven by the fear that his reign may be coming to an end Zeus falls further into paranoia as chaos ensues among the gods of Mount Olympus Meanwhile, three humans will play a pivotal role in changing the future of humanity

“Kaos” is set to air for two more seasons, with the ending of season one left unresolved Creator Charlie Covell told Cosmopolitan last month, “There's definitely a continuation We also didn't want the ending to be a complete cliffhanger We want it to be reasonably satisfying as a season one, and there's always hope for a continuation Because we really want to do more”

Fans are not happy with the news either: frankly, without a second season of “Chaos,” my Netflix account will be cancelled It's the most original, well-written, beautifully clever show that has been produced in a long time The entire crew deserves to be rewarded”

Sadly, “Chaos” will not be returning to streaming services; you can watch the first season on Netflix and other shows like “Chaos”
