Netflix has decided not to renew Kaos, leaving some fans who watched the series in one sitting disappointed.
Despite being a popular title on the platform, even reaching the top spot globally, the streaming service has opted to discontinue the show.
Fans are upset after enjoying only one season of Kaos.
Variety has verified the cancellation, following actor Aurora Perrineau’s hint on Instagram the previous night.
Charlie Covell, the show’s creator, had envisioned multiple seasons, stating previously: “The idea is three seasons in total. So, that’s what I have kind of in my brain… I would love to do more.
“There’s lots of things forming. I’ve got an idea of what the plot is.
“But no, there’s no script, just lots of fevered documents and stuff that only I would probably understand at this point. But the main story is clear in my head.”
Reacting to the news on Twitter, a user described Netflix’s decision as a ‘shambles’.
Another commented: “This was actually a good series. Probably had a huge budget compared to cheap dating shows. Sad.”
A French viewer expressed, translated into English: “I binge watched KAOS on Netflix, I love how our times turn the stories of Gods and Goddesses.”
They were not alone—another person shared that they had just finished binge-watching it today!
They stated: “binge-watched KAOS with @gbndvb. life has become vapid now.”
Perrineau portrayed Euridyce in the series, acting alongside Jeff Goldblum as Zeus, Killian Scott as Orpheus, and Nabhaan Rizwan as Dionysus.
The actor’s Instagram post, which has since been removed, said: “Well… this one hurts.
“I find explaining how I’m feeling to be really difficult, but I’ll try.
“When I started auditioning for this show, I knew it was special, mainly due to the fact that Charlie Covell’s scripts resonated with me in a way most things hadn’t. I knew all of these people, and I loved them all — every flaw, everything.”
The post continued: “For one of the first times in my life, I have found myself really proud. I’m, of course, proud of everyone’s work and the care they gave to this project, because, let me tell you, they left everything on the floor.
“But I’ve also found myself proud of me, and that is something I’ve struggled with.
“When I got cast, I couldn’t believe that someone SAW me. A girl who’s not only a minority but also a survivor of SA [sexual abuse] — and you’re telling me that someone thinks I could be one of the leads of a show, have agency, my own mission, and be desirable enough to be the love interest to not only one amazing human but two?”
