The teaser opens with Zeus declaring, “Humans when they’re not scared, they’re not worshipping me,” as he assesses a series of newspaper clippings about natural disasters pinned to his wall.

While some humans, such as President Minos of Olympia (Stanley Townsend), live in worship of the gods, others like Riddy (Aurora Perrineau) express disdain. Riddy defiantly cries, “The gods? They don’t give a st about any of us. I defy the gods!” In response, Zeus ominously declares, “I’m gonna wipe these fkers right off the face of the f**king Earth,” signaling a war on humanity.

KAOS Hollywood TV Series Plot:

As Zeus and his fellow gods, including Hera (Janet McTeer), Hades (David Thewlis), Poseidon (Cliff Curtis), and Medusa (Debi Mazar), manipulate events from above, a human rebellion emerges.
