Netflix today revealed first look photos for Sirens, a female-driven, a dark comedy limited series created by Emmy-nominated writer and showrunner Molly Smith Metzler (Maid). The 5-episode series will premiere on May 22, 2025.
Sirens stars Julianne Moore (May December), Meghann Fahy (The White Lotus), Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon), Kevin Bacon (MaXXXine), Glenn Howerton (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia), Bill Camp (The Queen’s Gambit), Felix Solis (Ozark), Josh Segarra (Scream), Trevor Salter (She-Hulk: Attorney at Law), Britne Oldford (Dead Ringers), Lauren Weedman (Hacks), and Jenn Lyon (Claws).
Sirens is the first series from Smith Metzler’s creative partnership with Netflix and is based on her play ElemenoPea, which she wrote at The Juilliard School. 2021’s acclaimed limited series Maid was Metzler’s first project with Netflix.
The logline reads, “Devon thinks her sister Simone has a really creepy relationship with her new boss, the enigmatic socialite Michaela Kell. Michaela’s cult-ish life of luxury is like a drug to Simone, and Devon has decided it’s time for an intervention, but she has no idea what a formidable opponent Michaela will be. Told over the course of one explosive weekend at The Kells’ lavish beach estate, Sirens is an incisive, sexy, and darkly funny exploration of women, power, and class.”
“This story has a lot of teeth,” creator Smith Metzler tells Tudum. “There are real moments of drama, and it’s going to make people uncomfortable. Operatic is a word I like to use to describe it. It’s a true dark comedy — and it’s got a Greek mythology vibe.”
“Julianne’s just the dream for this role because she does feel ethereal. She’s from another kingdom. She is not a normie,” she adds.
