Jeff Goldblum’s 'Kaos' Gets a Sudden Update After Unfair Cancellation
The show became one of Netflix’s major hits back in 2024, but was scrapped for no reason.
Note. This article has been updated to clarify that there are currently no plans at Netflix to revive Kaos despite high viewership and fan interest.
It’s a tough time for modern ambitious TV shows to live in as the abrupt cancellation might await somewhere very close, though a few series were lucky enough to be saved from such destiny.
The new norm of scrapping a visually successful show at some point made the Jeff Goldblum-led mythological dark comedy series Kaos fall victim to it too. Released on Netflix in August of 2024, the show had no reasons to get cancelled whatsoever, though it received a pretty disheartening update just two months later.
However, Kaos might have just become a rare finding among modern shows that didn’t receive a second chance after all.
Kaos Gets a Renewal for Season 2 Months After Cancellation
Scrapping a popular series every so often might not be a big deal to Netflix, though this time a major revelation could have made the streamer take its words back.

According to What We Watched, Kaos was holding a controversial status of Netflix’s most-watched cancelled series in the second half of 2024, reaching 20.3 million views throughout six months.
What’s even more surprising, Kaos’ hit status wasn’t something that took weeks or even months to be proved: according to the data collected by Forbes, the show kicked it off pretty well with 3.4 million views garnered in the first couple of days since the release, with an addition of almost 6 million viewers by the end of its first week on Netflix.
Kaos Creator Had Ideas for Season 2 Before the Show Got Scrapped by Netflix
Ahead of the show’s season 1 premiere last year, Kaos’ creator Charlie Covell got candid about his own vision of the series’ future, revealing that he had high hopes for more seasons for Kaos.
He also stated that the original idea was to expand the show to 3 seasons, but he wouldn’t like to get this limited before it was decided whether the series would be able to continue further.
Right now, Kaos remains cancelled by Netflix, even though fans aren't ready to lose hope and rally online to get the show renewed.
