Info in Movie News | Julianne Moore is back to steal the spotlight in Sirens, Netflix’s latest limited series premiering May 22, 2025. Adapted from Molly Smith Metzler’s play Elemeno Pea, this five-episode series delivers a smart blend of dark humor, family drama, and social commentary.
In Sirens, Moore takes on the role of Michaela Kell, a wealthily socialite who leads a perfect life on an exclusive island with her husband Peter Kell, who is played by Kevin Bacon. However, the truth is that underneath the picturesque exterior world of Michaela there is much manipulation and a lot of hidden motives.
The plot follows Devon DeWitt (Meghann Fahy) as she returns to her family after finding out about her father's early diagnosis of dementia. When Devon catches up with her younger sister Simone (Milly Alcock), she notices how intense Simone's admiration for her employer, Michaela is. The situation gets tense and when Devon is put in a position to act, she realizes that rescuing her sister might mean challenging Michaela's influence, which is huge.
Moore definitely creates a character who is both charismatic and complex at the same time, thus making hard to separate the evil part from sweetness. Michaela is someone who on the one side knows how to make you comfortable but on the other side is capable of making you feel completely stupefied and Moore has done her part with a real subtlety.
Behind the scenes, Sirens boasts an impressive creative team. The premier two episodes of Unbelievable are directed by Nicole Kassell, who is famed for her work on HBO’s Watchmen. LuckyChap Entertainment, a company of Margot Robbie, partners with Quiet Coyote to produce the show. Metzler not only adapted her play but also serves as showrunner and executive producer, joined by Tom Ackerley, Dani Gorin, and Robbie herself.
The cast also features Glenn Howerton (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia), Felix Solis (Ozark), and Bill Camp (The Night Of), adding even more depth to the story’s tangled web of power and loyalty.
Netflix dropped the official trailer for Sirens on April 25, 2025. In the teaser, you met this beautiful yet scary community, saw some terrific sibling drama and witnessed How corrupt wealth and power can affect personal relationships. The flavor is new here and intertwines with a family comedy that's a little bit darker than what we usually see in Netflix shows.
If you like your stories an intense walking trip through the realms of power, family knotting and the grim end of being advantaged, then this May, Sirens is here for you. Sirens being headlined by Julianne Moore, look forward to seeing a show that is intense, smart, and emotionally rich enough to topple even the best that Netflix has to offer this year.
