Kaos creator reflects on series cancellation: A heartfelt message to fans

An emotional farewell to a beloved project

The creator of the Greek mythology comedy series “Kaos” has finally broken their silence after the show was unexpectedly canceled by Netflix following just one season. This series, filled with celestial entities and human heroes, attracted a dedicated following eager for more.

Expressing gratitude amidst disappointment

On Thursday, the creator shared a touching message with followers on Instagram, through the account of production company Sister. They conveyed their deep sorrow for not being able to continue the journey with “Kaos,” but emphasized a sincere appreciation for the remarkable experience of working with the cast and crew.

“Of course I’m gutted not to be making more ‘Kaos,’ but I don’t want this news to overshadow what we did make. I’m incredibly lucky to have worked with such an exceptionally talented cast and crew, and I’m extremely proud of our show. Thank you to absolutely everybody involved: it was a Herculean team effort, and a huge privilege to work with you all.”

A modern-day Olympian tale

“Kaos” featured Jeff Goldblum as a whimsical, present-day Zeus who imprisons Prometheus (portrayed by Stephen Dillane) for his defiance. The rebellious Titan teams up with three humans—Eurydice (Aurora Perrineau), Ariadne (Leila Farzad), and Caeneus (Misia Butler)—to challenge and overthrow Zeus’s rule. The creator, who previously gained recognition for their work on “The End of the F***ing World,” scripted all eight episodes.

Fans react to the news

News of the show’s cancellation spread quickly, shattering the hopes of many fans who flocked to social media and niche communities like Reddit to voice their sadness and frustration. In response, the creator expressed heartfelt thanks to these loyal viewers for their unwavering support and passionate discussion about the show.

“I’ve been shown subreddits that have made my heart positively sing: the tiny details and Easter eggs you noticed made my day many times over. I’ve been chuffed to the point of overwhelm by your positive responses to the show — thank you!”

Hidden gems and fan theories

The creator also noted how thrilled they were to see fan interpretations and theories about the show, some of which were remarkably accurate. This deep engagement from the audience highlighted the series’ intricacies and the dedicated efforts of its fans.

“I saw one theory on Reddit about who or what ‘Kaos’ is that was bang on the money.”

A legacy beyond the screen

Despite the premature end of “Kaos,” the creator holds onto the hope that the series will continue to be discovered and enjoyed by new viewers. They encourage fans to keep discussing the show, contributing to its legacy and potentially uncovering new enthusiasts.

“My hope now is that people still continue to discover and enjoy the show: I reckon there are some potential fans out there who might need more time to find it, so please keep talking about ‘Kaos’ if you enjoyed it.”

The abrupt cancellation of “Kaos” may have left a void for its followers, but the powerful legacy of its storytelling and the profound connection it fostered with its audience remain intact.
