After devouring the first season of Kaos on Netflix, I, like many other fans, am left eagerly anticipating Kaos Season 2. Kaos was one of the most original and intriguing shows I’ve seen in a long time, blending Greek mythology with modern-day twists in a way that was both darkly comedic and compelling. So, of course, I’m desperate for news about when (or if) we can expect Kaos Season 2.
With such a unique take on the Greek gods, set against the backdrop of modern society, Kaos captivated audiences and left us all wanting more. But what’s the hold-up with Netflix? Will Kaos return for a second season, or is this another show at risk of getting lost in the streaming shuffle? I did some digging, and here’s everything you need to know about Kaos Season 2, sourced from the likes of Deadline and Radio Times.

At the time of writing, Netflix has yet to officially confirm a second season of Kaos. Despite this, the show’s creator, Charlie Covell, is optimistic about the future. Covell has hinted that they have a plan for not just one, but three seasons of Kaos. In interviews, they’ve expressed their desire to continue the story, noting that there’s plenty more to explore in this modern retelling of Greek mythology.
However, as Netflix often does, they are keeping their cards close to their chest, likely waiting to see how well the first season performs in terms of viewership. That means the future of Kaos is, frustratingly, in limbo for now. But the positive reviews and enthusiastic fan response give us hope that Netflix will give the show a green light for Season 2.
What Happened in Kaos Season 1?
If you haven’t finished watching the first season of Kaos, be warned—spoilers ahead!
Season 1 introduced us to Jeff Goldblum’s portrayal of Zeus, a paranoid, wrinkle-obsessed ruler of the gods, as well as a host of other mythological figures brought to life in Covell’s darkly humorous style. The season ended on a cliffhanger with Zeus facing off against his family, while several mortals are preparing to rise against the gods themselves.
What I loved most about Kaos was how it took these ancient stories and characters we all know and flipped them on their head, mixing divine power struggles with modern-day issues. Hera, for example, is plotting behind Zeus’s back, and there’s a growing sense of rebellion among the mortals.
Covell crafted a story that feels complete on its own but is clearly set up to continue. And let’s not forget the unanswered questions! What will happen now that Zeus has shown vulnerability? How will the mortals, led by characters like Ari and Riddy, navigate their newfound missions? Season 1 left us with so many loose ends, making the desire for Season 2 even stronger.

If Kaos does return for a second season, we can expect the story to pick up right where Season 1 left off. With Zeus’s power waning and other gods like Hera, Poseidon, and Dionysus plotting behind his back, there’s bound to be some divine drama.
But it’s not just the gods who have something to worry about. On the mortal side, Ari is stepping into a leadership role, Riddy is on a mission to warn humanity about the gods’ schemes, and Caneus has discovered he has the power to renew souls. How these characters will continue to evolve in Season 2 is something I’m very excited to see.
Charlie Covell has hinted that the second season will delve deeper into the relationships between gods and humans, exploring themes of rebellion, justice, and survival. Hera’s conversation at the end of Season 1, where she tells someone to “gather the troops,” suggests that a full-on war between the gods and humans could be on the horizon.
When Could Kaos Season 2 Be Released on Netflix?
As of now, there’s no confirmed release date for Kaos Season 2. If the show does get renewed, it’s likely we won’t see new episodes until at least 2026. Why the long wait? Well, Kaos has already had a slow road to release, with Season 1 taking nearly six years from its initial commission in 2018 to its Netflix debut in 2024.
Given that it took two years to produce the first season, it’s reasonable to expect a similar timeline for Season 2. If filming starts in 2025, we could see the next season by late 2026, but that’s just an educated guess at this point.
Netflix tends to take its time with high-concept shows like Kaos, particularly when they involve a large ensemble cast, special effects, and complex storylines. So, patience will be key. In the meantime, we can only hope that Netflix makes an official announcement soon.

Assuming Season 2 happens, we can expect many of the same characters and cast members to return. Jeff Goldblum’s Zeus was one of the standout performances of the series, and I can’t imagine Kaos without him. Janet McTeer as Hera, David Thewlis as Hades, and Aurora Perrineau as Riddy are all likely to return as well.
While the main gods are expected to reprise their roles, Season 2 might also introduce new characters. With Hera conspiring to overthrow Zeus, we might see the introduction of her son Ares, along with other mythological figures not yet explored in the first season.
One thing’s for sure—Kaos has plenty of material to work with, and I can’t wait to see what new characters and storylines the next season brings.
Will Kaos Get Cancelled?
We’ve all been there—falling in love with a Netflix show only to have it cancelled after one season (cough 1899 cough). While there’s always a risk of cancellation, Kaos seems to have a lot going for it. The show has received positive reviews from critics and fans alike, and its unique blend of mythology, comedy, and drama sets it apart from other Netflix originals.
However, Netflix is known for being ruthless when it comes to cutting shows that don’t perform well enough, so it’s crucial that Kaos continues to attract viewers. The best thing you can do as a fan? Stream the show, talk about it on social media, and let Netflix know that we want more Kaos!

Kaos is one of those shows that feels both timeless and fresh at the same time. It’s a modern-day epic with a heart of ancient mythology, and I, for one, am fully invested in seeing where Charlie Covell takes the story next. Season 1 set the stage for something truly epic, and while we’re still waiting for news about Season 2, the future of Kaos looks bright.
If you haven’t watched Kaos yet, now’s the perfect time to catch up. And if you’re already a fan like me, well, let’s just hope Netflix doesn’t keep us waiting too long for that much-anticipated second season.
