Netflix Reveals 'Kaos' as Most-Watched Cancelled Show of Late 2024
Despite strong initial viewership, the Greek mythology series failed to sustain momentum, leading to its cancellation after one season.
- 'Kaos,' created by Charlie Covell, garnered 20.3 million views in the second half of 2024, making it Netflix's most-watched cancelled series during that period.
- The show, which reimagined Greek mythology with Jeff Goldblum as Zeus, premiered on August 29, 2024, and was cancelled just 40 days later.
- Initial viewership was strong, with 3.4 million views in its first two days and 9.3 million in its first week, but only added 10 million more over the next five and a half months.
- The cancellation was reportedly influenced by the show's high production costs and declining viewership growth over time.
- Creator Charlie Covell had envisioned a three-season arc for the series and expressed gratitude to fans for their support despite the cancellation.
