Yahoo News Julianne Moore, Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock to Lead Netflix’s ‘Sirens’
Netflix has found the three leads for its upcoming limited series Sirens.
Julianne Moore, Meghann Fahy and Milly Alcock will star in the series, which comes from Maid creator Molly Smith Metzler and LuckyChap, which also produced Maid. Fahy (The White Lotus) and Alcock (House of the Dragon) will play sisters drawn into the world of a wealthy socialite (Moore) in the dark comedy.

Netflix also announced that Nicole Kassell (Watchmen, The Americans) will direct the first two episodes and serve as an executive producer of Sirens.
The description of Sirens reads: “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 life of luxury is like a drug to Simone, and Devon has decided it’s time for an intervention. When Devon tracks her sister down to say WTF, 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.”
On July 2, Netflix announced Kevin Bacon and Glenn Howerton have also been cast. Bacon will play Peter Kell, Michaela’s husband and a billionaire from an old-money family. Howerton will play Ethan Corbin II, an old friend and neighbor of the Kells who’s burning through his trust fund.
The series is based on a play, Elemeno Pea, that Metzler wrote while she was a student at Juilliard. Sirens is the first product of an overall deal Metzler signed with Netflix following the success of Maid, which drew strong viewing figures and earned three Emmy nominations.
Moore is coming off of the Starz drama Mary and George with Nicholas Galitzine; she also starred in Netflix’s 2023 movie May December. Fahy scored an Emmy nomination for season two of The White Lotus on HBO and stars with Nicole Kidman and Dakota Fanning in Netflix’s upcoming The Perfect Couple. Alcock is best known for playing the young Rhaenyra in House of the Dragon’s first season.
Metzler and Kassell will executive produce the series with LuckyChap’s Dani Gorin, Tom Ackerley and Margot Robbie.
July 2, 11:55 a.m. Updated with the casting of Kevin Bacon and Glenn Howerton.
