Kaos is the new series created by Charlie Covell – a name that might sound familiar to series fans. Covell previously wrote the scripts for the wacky Netflix series The End of the F***ing World. This fantasy series, however, takes a different direction and sounds like an exciting Mix of American Gods and Percy Jackson for adults.
