Inspired by Greco-Roman mythology, Netflix's Kaos has managed to captivate audience and critics with its star-studded cast, irreverent tone and dramatic ending.

Though Netflix has yet to give season 2 the green light, creator Charlie Covell told RadioTimes.com that they had plans beyond a second season. Which is just as well, since we can't bear the thought of season 1 being the last we see of Jeff Goldblum's turn as almighty Zeus.

The soundtrack is on hand while we wait for news, including Orpheus's (Killian Scott) original song. But what else is on the track list? Read on.

Who composed the score for Kaos?

Who song does Orpheus sing in Kaos?

Rockstar Orpheus sings a song titled Eurydice in episode 1 of Kaos.

The track is written and produced by Dan Smith and performed by Killian Scott.

Scott recently opened up to RadioTimes.com about performing the song in character, saying: "Charlie writes something very special and I just try and allow it to naturally come out. When we did the gig sequence..."

Co-star Aurora Perrineau chimed in: "You were very much in your element."

Scott added: "Give me a couple of takes, and I've got the nerves out of the system, I can roll with it!

"With the gig scene, we mapped out the vague movements for the camera department... when you're on the stage, you've got this amount of room to play with, and that was very liberating.

"I was like, 'I want to hear action and then we'll just see what happens.' I've seen a million gigs in my life, so I think I was probably subconsciously working off stuff I've seen, but I like it to be natural and whatever my version of the thing is."

Kaos is available to stream on Netflix. Sign up for Netflix from £4.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
