All Major Actors & Cast List for Kaos

Netflix's Kaos, with Jeff Goldblum as Zeus and several other gods, sitting round a long table.

Jeff Goldblum as Zeus

Jeff Goldblum is Zeus, the absolute ruler of the Greek gods, and as in Greek legend, he’s not too concerned about the welfare of humans. But he is deeply concerned about his status and keeping hold of his lofty position. He’s right to be worried because as the series goes on, there are machinations aplenty. You’ll have seen Jeff Goldblum in something, from The Fly to Jurassic Park to Thor: Ragnarok, even if it’s just that meme of Sam Neill listening to his bare chest.

Janet McTeer as Hera

Hera is Zeus’s long-suffering wife and perhaps his closest ally, at least for now. However, mythology paints her as vengeful and jealous, so there could be a speed bump in her and Zeus’s future. She’s played by Janet McTeer, who Marvel fans may recognize as Alisa Jones from the second series of Jessica Jones.

Aurora Perrineau as Riddy

Riddy is a mortal who is blissfully aware of the machinations of the gods and has her own problems. She’s fallen out of love with her musician partner Orpheus, a name which will be familiar to fans of Greek mythology. Actor Perrineau is best known for playing Detective Dani Powell in the police procedural drama Prodigal Son.

Stephen Dillane as Prometheus

Prometheus, famed for stealing fire from the gods, is Zeus’s former friend and current prisoner, and as such, he’d very much like to see Zeus dethroned. He may even have his own plans. Prometheus is played by Stephen Dillane, who Game of Thrones fans will know as would-be-king Stannis Baratheon, as part of the cast of Kaos.

Misia Butler as Caeneus

Currently serving in the Underworld, Caeneus is one of the characters prophesied to help bring about the fall of Zeus. Netflix’s Tudum describes him as a reluctant, gentler hero, compared to his macho portrayal in mythology. Butler previously played Jack in the Netflix/Channel 4 production Kiss Me First.
