Julianne Moore’s new series ‘Sirens’ is set to be rich, twisted, and hypnotic
Meghann Fahy and Milly Alcock co-star as sisters pulled into a wealthy woman’s orbit.
Julianne Moore playing a hypnotic billionaire boss from hell? Say less — I’m in. I’ve been a fan of creator Molly Smith Metzler since she wrote “Maid,” and with “Sirens,” she’s clearly leveling up. Set over one long Labor Day weekend on a private island full of secrets, the five-episode Netflix limited series mixes rich-people chaos with sister drama, culty vibes, and a darkly funny edge. Add in Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock, and Kevin Bacon? This is one you won’t want to miss! All eps drop Thursday, May 22, only on Netflix.

About ‘Sirens’
“Sirens” is a dark comedy limited series that unfolds over one long Labor Day weekend at a billionaire’s lavish beach estate. When Devon (Meghann Fahy) shows up to stage an intervention for her sister Simone (Milly Alcock), who’s fallen under the spell of her mysterious, ultra-wealthy boss Michaela Kell (Julianne Moore), things quickly spiral. Secrets unravel, loyalties shift, and the line between devotion and manipulation gets dangerously blurry. Created by Molly Smith Metzler (“Maid”), the series blends sharp humor with culty vibes and a dose of Greek mythology. Kevin Bacon, Bill Camp, and Glenn Howerton round out a cast full of offbeat talent. If you want more info, check out our more detailed article about the show here.

What other dark comedy and mystery shows can you watch on Netflix?
If “Sirens” sounds like fun, Netflix has a few more shows you’ll want to queue up next. “The Watcher” leans into suburban paranoia and unsettling power dynamics, all set inside a dream home that quickly turns into a nightmare. “The Perfect Couple” brings Nicole Kidman to Nantucket for a luxurious wedding-turned-murder investigation — think family secrets, polished façades, and plenty of suspects. And if you’re in the mood for something sharper and more chaotic, “Beef” explores how one petty road rage incident spirals into a full-blown life meltdown. All three are streaming now on Netflix, starting at $8 per month.
