The full soundtrack for Jeff Goldblum's new Netflix series, Kaos
Considering Jeff Goldblum's latest series, Kaos, is in Netflix's top 10 TV shows, chances are you've already checked it out. Or, if you're like us, you've binged the first eight episodes and are now twiddling your thumbs waiting for the streaming platform to confirm a second season.
The show - in which Goldblum plays the Greek God and King of Olympus, Zeus - has a pretty unique concept, to say the least. Set in the modern day and stylised as a contemporary retelling of Greek mythology, it sees an arrogant Zeus forced to prevent a prophecy that threatens to destroy his kingdom.
But alongside the strong storyline and stellar cast (the show also stars Billie Piper, David Thewlis and Aurora Perrineau to name a few), the creators have also taken great care and pride over the soundtrack. Boasting some major names in music from all genres and decades, viewers can expect the most epic musical journey from start to finish.

Who composed the Kaos score?
If you're a Florence & The Machine fan, you'll be buzzing to know that one of the founding members, Isabella Summers, composed the score for the Netflix series.
The musician - who has also written songs for the likes of Beyoncé, Rita Ora, Chloe x Halle and Jennifer Hudson - is a pretty big deal in the world of TV and film too, as she's produced scores for Apple TV's Physical, the comedy horror film, Lisa Frankenstein, and Netflix's period drama, Lady Chatterley’s Lover.
To be honest, with such a quality bunch of songs all packed together under one roof, we don't blame you if you just watch it for the soundtrack.
Kaos is streaming on Netflix now.
