Sirens: Official Trailer, Cast, and Release Date Revealed for Netflix’s Dark Comedy Limited Series

Netflix has released the official trailer and first-look images for Sirens.

The upcoming five-episode limited series starring Academy Award-winner Julianne Moore, Meghann Fahy, and Milly Alcock. Created by Emmy-nominated writer and showrunner Molly Smith Metzler (Maid), Sirens is set to premiere globally on May 22, 2025.

Produced by LuckyChap, the company behind Maid and Promising Young Woman, the series promises a sharp, darkly funny exploration of power, class, and complicated family bonds — all unfolding over the course of a single explosive weekend.

A New Kind of Psychological Showdown

In Sirens, Devon (Meghann Fahy) becomes alarmed by her sister Simone’s (Milly Alcock) intense connection to her glamorous new boss, the enigmatic socialite Michaela Kell (Julianne Moore). Michaela’s cult-like lifestyle is seductive, and Simone is quickly drawn into her orbit.

Devon, determined to intervene, heads to Michaela’s lavish private island estate. But what she expects to be a straightforward confrontation quickly spirals into something far more dangerous — and much harder to escape.

Set against a backdrop of opulence and secrecy, Sirens examines the subtle manipulations of power, the vulnerability of ambition, and the complex ties that bind sisters together.
