After just a single season, it seems KAOS is done at Netflix, according to reporting in Variety. The show, which starred Jeff Goldblum as the Greek god Zeus, a version of the god of gods who is begins to worry that he may not be as supreme as he originally believed. The show’s creator, Charlie Corvell, was also the man behind The End of the F**king World, had previously hinted that there might be more story to mine in the series, and said he was optimistic about the chances for renewal.

“I think anything is possible. My dream was three seasons. I’ve got many ideas and a strong sense of what I’d want to do with it,” he said during an interview with Cosmopolitan U.K. “There’s definitely more. I also didn’t want to do an ending that was a total cliffhanger. I hope that it feels satisfying as a season one in its own right, and there’s always hope for more. Because I really would love to do more and work with those actors and that team. It was a bit of a dream come true.”

The reason for the show’s cancellation has yet to be revealed, but it received pretty solid reviews and starred some pretty famous faces, in addition to Goldblum. All of that might have put it on the glide path toward renewal, but the streaming service apparently had other ideas. For now, then, all we know is that KAOS is no more, and all of Goldblum’s biggest fans will have to look elsewhere for their fix.

Silo is currently in the middle of its second season, and the show remains one of the more interesting sci-fi shows on television. While the show's season 2 finale has not yet aired, fans are already wondering whether the show will return for another season.

Thankfully, Apple TV+ saw fit to answer that question, renewing the show not just for a third season but also for a fourth. The show's fourth season will also serve as its final. Graham Yost created the series, which is adapted from a series of novels written by Hugh Howey.

Will ‘Bad Monkey’ get a season 2 at Apple TV+?
The show is based on a book of the same name that has a sequel
Vince Vaughn in Bad Monkey

Apple TV+ is slowly but surely building a library of interesting TV projects. Bad Monkey, which aired earlier this year on the streamer, was just one example, adapting a novel of the same name and bringing in Vince Vaughn to star.

Now, Variety is reporting that the show will be back for a second season. There is a sequel to the original novel, which was written by Carl Hiaasen, titled Razor Girl, but Variety's reporting suggests that the second season will not be based on that novel. In spite of that creative departure, creator Bill Lawrence said he has nothing but admiration for Hiaasen.

Yellowjackets season 2; The group confronts their truth

Between the large variety of streaming options available to TV fans and the long wait times between new seasons, you'd be forgiven for forgetting some of the best programming on air today. Hopefully, when looking for shows that have slipped between the cracks, you take a look at Showtime's Yellowjackets. This gaudy, eye-popping drama is a mix of many different genres and capitalizes on shock value and creative storytelling techniques to craft a unique experience unlike anything else running at the moment.

The show is named after the girls' high school soccer team that the plot revolves around. The young women of the Yellowjackets are talented, ambitious, but flawed teenagers with hopes and dreams for the future. When their plane crashes in the woods during a cross-country flight to a soccer game, the obscene circumstances force many of the girls to do things they never would have imagined. In an ingenious bit of storytelling and character development, the show also bounces 25 years into the present timeline (the crash happened in 1996) to show the survivors of the crash in their early 40s in 2021. If you read Lord of the Flies at some point in school as a kid or got hooked on Lost during its 2000s heyday, you'll immediately see some parallels and shared DNA between Yellowjackets and those stories.
