Jeff Goldblum, fresh off his return as Dr. Ian Malcolm in “Jurassic World Dominion,” will replace Hugh Grant as Zeus in Netflix’s series reimagining of Greek mythology,”Kaos,” TheWrap has confirmed.
Grant was forced to pull out of the series, which hails from writer and creator Charlie Covell (“The End of the F***ing World”), due to a scheduling conflict. Goldblum now slots into a cast that already includes Janet McTeer, Cliff Curtis, David Thewlis, Killian Scott, Aurora Perrineau, Misia Butler, Leila Farzad, Nabhaan Rizwan, Rakie Ayola and Stanley Townsend.
The eight-episode contemporary take, which was initially announced back in 2018, is described by Netflix as a “genre-bending series” that puts a “modern twist on Greek and Roman mythology, exploring themes of gender politics, power and life in the underworld.”
