NETFLIX's KAOS
- Hugh Grant, Janet McTeer, Cliff Curtis, David Thewlis, Nabhaan Rizwan, Killian Scott, Misia Butler, Leila Farzad, Rakie Ayola, Stanley Townsend and Billie Piper have been cast as series regulars on the upcoming drama starring Aurora Perrineau.
- Grant (The Undoing) will play Zeus, the King of the Gods. He is seemingly all-powerful, yet desperately insecure and vengeful. That is, until he wakes up one morning and discovers a wrinkle on his forehead. Neurosis then sets in, setting him off on a dangerous, paranoid path. Zeus becomes convinced his fall is coming - and starts to see signs of it everywhere.
- McTeer (Ozark) will play Hera, the Queen of the Gods. She exercises dominion on Earth - and over Zeus - in her own unique way. But her power and freedom become threatened by Zeus' growing paranoia, and she is forced to act.
- Curtis (the Avatar franchise) will play Poseidon, the God of Seas, Storms and Earthquakes - and Horses. He is more concerned with the size of his super-yacht and where the next party is at. The well-being of mere mortals is of little interest to him.
- Thewlis (Fargo) will play Hades, the God of the Underworld and Zeus' once reliable brother. He is secretly losing his grip on his dark dominion - with a backlog of dead waiting to be processed.
- Rizwan (Station Eleven) will play Dionysus, Zeus' rebellious son, who is out of control and on course for a cosmic collision with his father.
- Scott (Dublin Murders), Butler (Kiss Me First) and Farzad (I Hate Suzie) will play Orpheus, Caneus and Ari, respectively. These mortals - along with Riddy (Perrineau) - come from different walks of life and are all cosmically connected in the battle against Zeus. Each one has a very different role to play, and any one of them may be destined to bring down the God.
- No details were immediately released about the characters Ayola (The Pact), Townsend (The Current War) and Piper (Penny Dreadful) will be playing.
