Netflix Releases First Look at Julianne Moore/Meghann Fahy’s ‘Sirens’

There’s a new siren song in town, and it’s sung by Julianne Moore. The Academy Award-winning actress is diving head first into the murky waters of Sirens, Netflix’s forthcoming dark comedy, which she’ll star in alongside The White Lotus star Meghann Fahy, as well as Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow‘s Milly Alcock. And based on the new first-look images the streamer provided (which you can see for yourself in the gallery below!), we’re about to answer the call of the seductive and idiosyncratic-looking new series.

Hailing from playwright and screenwriter Molly Smith Metzler (whom you may know from the other show she created, Maid), Sirens is said to follow “Devon (Fahy) on her journey to a lavish island where mansions and hydrangeas abound — and where she comes to realize that the surrounding waters are murkier than they first appear,” according to Netflix’s own Tudum. And while that description leans heavily into the mystery and intrigue, the official logline avails us to something far more comedic in nature:

“Devon thinks her sister Simone (Alcock) has a really creepy relationship with her new boss, the enigmatic socialite Michaela Kell (Moore). 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.”

‘Sirens’ Features A Veritable Smorgasbord Of Good Actors You Know And Love

But wait a second, is that Kevin Bacon in the first photo? You’re darn tootin’ it is! Like we said before, Sirens‘ extended ensemble is full of actors you know and love. But what would you expect from a series executive produced by Margot Robbie? The actress’ production company, LuckyChap, has a knack for pulling in top-tier talent.

I mean, just look at this cast list, also via Tudum:

• Julianne Moore as Michaela Kell: Michaela is a philanthropist and animal activist who runs island high society, and is the wife of billionaire Peter Kell. Her relationship with her assistant, Simone, seems too close for comfort.
• Meghann Fahy as Devon DeWitt: Devon is on a downward spiral back in her hometown. She’s funny, resilient, and fiercely protective — especially of her younger sister Simone.
• Milly Alcock as Simone DeWitt: Simone is Devon’s sharp and charming younger sister who hit the jackpot — working as a personal assistant to a billionaire. (We also recently saw her in the BTS image of Supergirl James Gunn recently posted.)
• Kevin Bacon as Peter Kell: Peter comes from old money and is the most important person in every room he enters. He’s an avid outdoorsman who enjoys the occasional joint.
• Glenn Howerton (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) as Ethan Corbin III: Ethan is a dear friend of the Kells and a lifelong bachelor who lives next door. He’s a regular at the yacht club, and he’s rapidly burning through his trust fund.
• Felix Solis (Ozark) as Jose: Jose plays the role of humble gardener, but he’s actually the manager of Cliff House — the head of security, the puppet master of the estate’s vast surveillance system, and Peter’s right-hand man.
• Bill Camp (Presumed Innocent, The Queen’s Gambit) as Bruce DeWitt: Simone (Alcock) and Devon’s (Fahy) father, Bruce, is a former Navy man. He’s Buffalo-born and bred and has recently been diagnosed with early-onset dementia. Gruff and proud, he dreads becoming a burden to his daughters.
• Josh Segarra (Scream, Abbott Elementary) as Raymond: The proud manager of a restaurant franchise in Buffalo, New York, Raymond is Devon’s longtime, on-and-off toxic boyfriend.
• Trevor Salter (She-Hulk: Attorney at Law) as Jordan: Rugged and handsome, Jordan is the captain of Ethan’s yacht. All the society ladies have a crush on him.
• Britne Oldford (Dead Ringers, The Umbrella Academy, Long Bright River) as Missy: The Kells’ seasonal housekeeper hates the job and equally loathes the commute from the mainland.
• Lauren Weedman (Hacks, Looking) as Patrice: Professional, tough, and no-nonsense, Patrice is the Kells’ longtime personal chef.
• “The Fates” — Jenn Lyon (Claws, Dead Boy Detectives) as Cloe; Erin Neufer (Fellow Travelers, Julia) as Lisa; Emily Borromeo (Blue Bloods, FBI: Most Wanted) as Astrid: Cloe, Lisa, and Astrid often speak as one and dress identically as a trio. They are devoted to Michaela and her preservation work. Cloe is the mean girl, Lisa is the zealot, and Astrid is the ditz.

The series is based on Metzler’s play Elemeno Pea, which she wrote at the Juilliard School. The series will debut its five, hour-long episodes on May 22, 2025.
