Netflix ha publicado el primer tráiler y póster de la serie Sirenas, creada por Molly Smith Metzler (La asistenta).

La lujosa vida de Michaela es como una droga para Simone y Devon decide que es hora de intervenir, poco sabe de que Michaela es una oponente a la que hay que temer.

La miniserie de comedia negra, ambientada en un único fin de semana en la lujosa finca isleña de los Kell, está protagonizada por Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock y Julianne Moore. Completan el reparto Kevin Bacon, Glenn Howerton, Bill Camp, Josh Segarra, Felix Solis, Trevor Salter, Lauren Weedman, Britne Oldford y Jenn Lyon.

In a rare feat for a streamer as beloved for its onslaught of acquisitions as its original productions, the best new shows on Netflix’s May release calendar are all exclusive to the service. While I balk at calling Conan O’Brien’s Mark Twain Prize ceremony a full-on Netflix original, the most powerful streaming service in the world was smart enough to snag the rights — and schedule the premiere during yet another period of peak appreciation for our favorite late-night Irishman — so they deserve ample credit.

Plus, it’s the only entry of the lot that’s not an established Netflix franchise or an anticipated Netflix original. May will welcome new seasons of “Love, Death & Robots”, “Untold” (the sports documentary series that’s proving to be a worthy addition to any “30 for 30” fan’s queue), and the final season of “Big Mouth.” (A well-reviewed Netflix original series that spans eight seasons plus a spinoff?...

Netflix has decided how it will campaign the trio of actresses at the front of the upcoming limited series Sirens. Gold Derby has learned Netflix will submit Emmy winner Julianne Moore in the Best Limited Series/Movie Supporting Actress field alongside costar Milly Alcock. The White Lotus Emmy nominee Meghann Fahy will represent the show in the Best Limited Series/Movie Actress category.

For the actors, Kevin Bacon will be submitted in the Best Limited Series/Movie Actor category. Bacon’s costars Bill Camp, Glenn Howerton, and Felix Solis will campaign in the supporting category.

The news of the Sirens category placements comes days after Netflix shifted The Perfect Couple with Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber, and Dakota Fanning from consideration for limited series to the drama field. Other limited series Netflix is juggling this year include frontrunner Adolescence, Zero Day, Monsters: The Lyle and Eric Menendez Story, American Primeval, and...

May brings a wave of new content to Netflix, with stories ranging from laugh-out-loud comedies to edge-of-your-seat thrillers. There’s a little something for everyone, whether you’re into big-name casts or hidden gems.

I’m pumped about this month’s mix of originals, classic movies, and a live event to close things out. Let’s dive into some of the standout titles hitting the service.

‘The Four Seasons’ (May 1)

Tina Fey co-created and stars in ‘The Four Seasons,’ a comedy series remaking the 1981 film. Alongside Steve Carell, Colman Domingo, and Will Forte, Fey explores three couples whose group vacations get messy after a breakup. It’s funny and heartfelt.

Debuting on May 1, this show nails friendship and love with a great cast. The humor and drama make it a solid watch for comedy fans looking for something fresh.

‘The Royals’ (May 9)

‘The Royals’ is an Indian romantic drama starring Bhumi Pednekar and Ishaan Khatter.

May’s lineup on Netflix is packed with fresh stories and familiar faces. From heartfelt comedies to chilling thrillers, there’s something for everyone. We’re getting a mix of original series, classic films, and a live event to cap it all off.

I’m excited to dive into the variety this month. Whether you’re into star-studded dramas or animated adventures, Netflix has you covered. Let’s break down some of the biggest titles hitting the platform.

‘The Four Seasons’ (May 1)

This new comedy series, co-created by Tina Fey, reimagines the 1981 film. It stars Fey, Steve Carell, Colman Domingo, Will Forte, Kerri Kenney-Silver, and Marco Calvani as three couples whose yearly vacations get messy when one pair splits up. The show explores friendship and love with sharp humor.

Dropping on May 1, ‘The Four Seasons’ promises laughs and heart. The stacked cast brings chemistry to this tale of long-time friends navigating change.

A limited series of mystery comedy/drama set in the scenery of the holiday season and a star-studded cast might be the right treat to set the viewers up for the upcoming summer holidays.

That is what Sirens creator Molly Smith Metzler (up ) is counting upon when she came up with the idea for this dark comedy that relies on Greek mythology references.

The general idea is promising, and so is the cast, which includes Julianne Moore, Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock, and Kevin Bacon, among others. There are already positive critics' reactions (they do get to see these beforehand). Yet, how will the Netflix audience react? We will find out when the series starts airing on May 22, 2025.

What is the Sirens plot about?

The series, based on on Metzler’s play Elemeno Pea, presents its main character, Devon DeWitt (Fahy) who travels to an island reserved for the rich and...

Vince Vaughn wrangling grandmas to start an Italian restaurant; the latest volume of animated stories about love, death and robots; a slick new limited series starring Oscar-winner Julianne Moore; the final season of Netflix’s longest-running adult animated show; another installment in the popular Fear Street film franchise; and live-stream of Netflix’s hotly anticipated global pop culture and fan event are some of the highlights among the new films and series hitting Netflix in May.

Vince Vaughn and Susan Sarandon headline Nonnas, one of Netflix’s big feature releases in May. The Dear Evan Hansen and The Perks of Being a Wallflower filmmaker Stephen Chbosky directed the fact-based comedy feature that begins streaming May 9, and tells the story of Joe Scaravella, who decides to alter his life path by starting an Italian restaurant that hires Italian grandmothers, aka “nonnas,” as the chefs. The story is based on the real-life Scaravella,...

There's something about documentaries that tell the stories of real-life cults and cult leaders that continually fascinate me. I'm always drawn to watching those tales to see just how deep some people will be in something they believe in. And while Sirens on Netflix is not a documentary, it seems like the boss at the center of the tale is very cult-ish, and Meghann Fahy's character needs to get her sister away from her!

The streamer released the trailer for the upcoming dark comedy to give us an idea of what to expect, and we're definitely excited for everything to come! Sirens premieres Thursday, May 22, 2025 on Netflix. There's a total of 5 episodes of the limited series. So this watch will be a breeze! Plus, give me anything Fahy is in, and you can count me in! Check out the trailer below before we get into more details of the show.

Netflix just dropped the official trailer and some tantalizing first-look images for their upcoming limited series, Sirens, and it looks like a wild ride we won’t want to miss. This five-episode, female-driven dark comedy boasts a powerhouse cast led by Academy Award winner Julianne Moore, the captivating Meghann Fahy, and the talented Milly Alcock. If that wasn’t enough to pique your interest, Emmy-nominated writer and showrunner Molly Smith Metzler. The premise alone has us hooked: Devon is convinced her sister Simone is entangled in a seriously strange dynamic with her new boss, the alluring socialite Michaela Kell. Michaela’s lavish, almost hypnotic world has Simone caught in its grip, and Devon knows she has to step in. But she doesn’t realize just how powerful Michaela will turn out to be. Set...

From slaying dragons to slaying a whole new vibe, a former House of the Dragon star just hit the upgrade button, and it’s not on HBO this time. She’s swapping fire and blood for something way messier (and way more fun) over at Netflix.

The first look just dropped, and yeah, it’s giving main character energy — glammed up settings, chaotic drama, and a serious glow-up. If you thought she crushed it in Westeros, wait till you see her crash this brand-new playground.

Milly Alcock in upcoming Netflix limited series ‘Sirens’

Premiering May 22 on Netflix.

Netflix is set to premiere its highly anticipated limited series, Sirens, on May 22, 2025. This dark comedy, created by Molly Smith Metzler (Maid), is inspired by her 2011 play Elemeno Pea and unfolds over a single, tension-filled weekend at an opulent beach estate.

A Tale of Power, Obsession, and Sisterhood

Sirens centers on Devon DeWitt (Meghann Fahy), who becomes alarmed by her younger sister Simone’s (Milly Alcock) intense admiration for her enigmatic boss, Michaela Kell (Julianne Moore). Michaela, a philanthropist and animal activist, exerts a cult-like influence over Simone, prompting Devon to intervene. However, as Devon delves deeper, she discovers the complexities of Michaela’s world, where power and privilege intertwine in unsettling ways.

​The series is described as an “incisive, sexy, and darkly funny exploration of women, power, and class,” blending elements of psychological tension with dark humor.

A Stellar Ensemble Cast

Sirens boasts an impressive cast:​

Julianne Moore as Michaela Kell,...

Netflix’s official trailer for Sirens sets up the dysfunctional relationship between sisters and introduces an incredibly wealthy woman who might be the head of a cult. It’s hard to tell if that’s true, but the trailer definitely sets up the possibility. Hey, hey.

Oscar winner Julianne Moore stars as the charismatic Michaela Kell, and Milly Alcock plays Simone DeWitt, the sister who’s fallen under Michaela’s spell. Meghann Fahy stars as Devon DeWitt, the sibling who doesn’t understand the appeal and Kevin Bacon plays Peter Kell, Michaela’s billionaire husband. Filling out the cast are Glenn Howerton as Ethan Corbin III, Bill Camp as Bruce DeWitt, and Felix Solis as Jose.

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

There’s something in the water … and it’s wearing Lilly Pulitzer.

The upcoming limited series Sirens, starring Julianne Moore, Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock, and Kevin Bacon, washes ashore on Netflix on May 22, bringing with it mystery, mythology, and more. Check out the trailer here.

Set over Labor Day weekend, Sirens follows 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. “I like to talk about Devon as the metronome of the show,” series creator and executive producer Molly Smith Metzler (Maid) tells Tudum. “She sets the pace, and especially the comedy. Casting Meghann was a gift from the heavens.”

“This story has a lot of teeth,” Smith Metzler continues. “There are real moments of drama, and it’s going to make people uncomfortable. Operatic is a word I...

“…and decides it's time for an intervention…”

Julianne Moore toes the line between enigmatic socialite and cult leader in the new trailer for Sirens, a new limited series premiering May 22 on Netflix.

In the series, Moore plays the wildly wealthy, but mysterious Michaela Kell, who presides over her luxurious seaside estate, Cliff House, with a rather unsettling air (there’s kind of a Wicker Man/Midsommar in Lily Pulitzer vibe to the whole place). Meanwhile, Milly Alcock plays Michaela’s devoted assistant, Simone, who has become deeply enthralled with all this wealth and developed an exceptionally strange relationship with her boss.

Before she takes flight in James Gunn’s Superman, Milly Alcock is about to learn a lesson about the dangers of infatuation in the trailer for the Netflix miniseries Sirens. The upcoming dramedy finds Alcock’s Simone having an awkward family reunion with her sister Devon (Meghann Fahy). When Devon shows unexpectedly arrives at Simone’s high-stress job as the right-hand of socialite Michaela Kell (Julianne Moore), the duo comes to emotional blows as Devon pulls the curtain back on Simone’s misguided devotion to her employer.

Spearheaded by Emmy-nominated writer and showrunner Molly Smith Metzler (Maid) and executive produced by Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap, Sirens is an adaptation of Metzler’s play Elemeno Pea. Told throughout a single weekend, Sirens has the following logline: “Devon (Fahy) thinks her sister Simone (Alcock) has a really creepy relationship with her new boss, the enigmatic socialite Michaela Kell (Moore). Michaela’s cult-ish...

Meghann Fahy is continuing to have her moment. The actress, who earned rave reviews leading “Drop” after having a breakout turn in “The White Lotus” Season 2, leads Netflix limited series “Sirens.” And it seems like Fahy is returning to the genre of elite satire as the trailer teases a possible Goop-esque cult run by none other than Julianne Moore.

The official synopsis reads: “Devon (Fahy) thinks her sister Simone (Milly 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.”

Kevin Bacon,...

We’re getting the first look at footage from Sirens, Netflix’s upcoming dark comedy starring Meghann Fahy, Julianne Moore and Milly Alcock.

Set to Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know,” the trailer finds Meghann Fahy’s Devon determined to retrieve her sister from what she sees as a “creepy relationship” between Alcock’s Simone and her socialite boss Michaela “Kiki” Kell, played by Moore. Devon appears at Kiki’s mansion after learning their father, played by Bill Camp, has dementia and is disturbed that Simone could only be bothered to send a fruit basket.

Created by Emmy-nominated writer and showrunner Molly Smith Metzler (Maid) and executive produced by LuckyChap, the five-episode limited series is an adaptation of Metzler’s play Elemeno Pea. Per the logline, “Michaela’s cult-ish life of luxury is like a drug to Simone, and Devon has decided it’s time for an intervention.
