Season Spoiler Synopsis: Kaos was a 2024 Netflix original series that came out this past summer. The show is a modern take on ancient Greek mythology. The story focuses on three prophecized humans destined to overthrow Zeus (Jeff Goldblum). The show is narrated by Prometheus, who details the stories of these three characters along with several other important gods and classic Greek characters. The story starts with Riddy (Aurora Perrineau), who has fallen out of love with her husband Orpheus (Killian Scott) and dies on Olympus Day, celebrating the gods. After her funeral, Orpheus takes away her coin to cross through the underworld, thus trapping Riddy to work in the underworld for the next 200 years. In the underworld, she meets and befriends Caeneus, the second of the three destined to destroy Zeus. Back on earth, Orpheus is befriended by Dionysus, one of Zeus’s kids, who wants to help him recover Liddy. He takes him to The Cave, a mystical bar run by the fates that promise to send trivia winners to the underworld to recover their lost souls, though no one has ever returned. Orpheus is successful and must go through the underworld, passing trials that no one has ever passed before to save Liddy. The third important character is Ari (Leila Farzad), the daughter of the President of Crete, who is one of two twins and is constantly being scolded by her mother for killing her brother by rolling over onto him while they were babies. Zeus has become preoccupied with his prophecy, which reads, “A line appears, the order wanes, the family falls, and Kaos reigns.” After interpreting, a new wrinkle on his forehead is the line that starts the prophecy. Through their journey in the underworld, Liddy and Caeneus discover that the frame, the final destination in the underworld that reincarnates the souls, is actually a trap that steals your soul and funnels their energy into Zeus Meander water, which gives all the gods their power. Just as they are trying to halt people going through the frame, Orpheus shows up and tries to take Liddy from the underworld, and Caenaus gets dragged through the frame by his mother. Ari discovers that her brother is alive and well and has been turned into a beast, and she goes with Daeydilus to rescue him, resulting in the death of her father, fulfilling his prophecy, and her becoming the leader of Crete. Liddy and Orpheus make it back to Earth and separate, and Caenaes discovers that he is able to resurrect human souls just as the circle of water that declares the reign of Zeus collapses and Prometheus takes the throne of Olympus free of his imprisonment by the fates.
