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

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.
