Synopsis:

Quote

The dark comedy will follow Devon (Meghann Fahy), who’s concerned about her sister Simone’s creepy relationship with her new employer, the mysterious socialite and animal activist Michaela Kell (Julianne Moore). Michaela’s cultish, ultra-luxurious lifestyle is like a drug to Simone (Milly Alcock), and Devon thinks it’s time for an intervention. When Devon tracks her sister down to find out WTF is going on, she underestimates what you’re in for when you have Michaela as an enemy. 

Told over the course of a drama-filled weekend at the Kells’ lavish beach estate, Sirens is an incisive, sexy, and darkly funny exploration of women, power, and class.

Production on the series is now underway in New York.

Sirens will be the first project from Maid showrunner Molly Smith Metzler’s creative partnership with Netflix — and it sounds like we’ll get a good dose of rich people behaving badly.

Sirens, executive-produced by Dani Gorin, Tom Ackerley, and Margot Robbie for LuckyChap, is based on Molly Smith Metzler’s play Elemeno Pea, which she wrote at The Juilliard School. Metzler and LuckyChap’s previous series with Netflix, Maid, starring Margaret Qualley, spent 14 weeks in the Global Top 10 TV and reached the Top 10 TV in 93 countries. Nicole Kassell (Watchmen and The Baby) has also joined the project as director and executive producer.

Trevor Salter (She-Hulk) as Jordan — Rugged and handsome, Jordan is 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 seasonal housekeeper for the Kells  hates this job and equally loathes the commute from the mainland.
