Inside the filming magic of Netflix's Sirens
Netflix's newest prestige series makes a real estate statement
Julianne Moore's character might be keeping secrets in Netflix's Sirens, but the show's true scene-stealer is no mystery to sharp-eyed architecture fans. The moody thriller, which debuted May 22, has already garnered praise for its A-list cast, elegant styling, and a haunting setting that feels as luxurious as it is elusive.Set in a fictional waterfront enclave of extreme wealth, the series uses real-life Lloyd Harbor, New York, as its backdrop. The exclusive hamlet is known for housing celebrities and titans of industry, and Sirens taps into that aura of old money and hidden sins with delicious precision.Also read: Sirens Season 2: Is it happening? Here's what to know about the new Netflix series The jaw-dropping mansion belonging to Moore and Kevin Bacon's characters, Michaela and Peter Kell, is not a mansion at all. In reality, the imposing property shown throughout the Netflix series is the Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve . Built in 1921, this historic estate originally served as a country club and hunting preserve before becoming a New York State park headquarters.Through meticulous use of CGI, producers morphed the property's stately brick and stone into a modern Cape Cod-style estate complete with sleek architecture, a glossy black facade, and an elegant pool, none of which exist in real life.The home features prominently in Sirens, where it functions as a social hub for the show's elite characters. In real life, the estate remains a serene filming location and preserved piece of Long Island history, surrounded by lush forest and stunning coastal views.With a population of just 4,000, Lloyd Harbor is a tiny town with an outsize reputation. The area was once home to Billy Joel, Angelina Jolie, and Jerry Seinfeld.

Kim Kardashian shocked by missing cruise girl doc, joins public plea for Amy Bradley
Kim Kardashian has once again stepped into the true crime spotlight, this time after being deeply shaken by Netflix's new documentary Amy Bradley Is Missing. The three-part series unravels the eerie disappearance of Amy Bradley, who vanished without a trace from a Royal Caribbean cruise in 1998. Kim, who is known for her legal reform efforts and passion for justice, took to Instagram with an emotional post, urging her followers to tune in and help bring attention to the decades old mystery. Kim Kardashian reacts to haunting Netflix case Kim called the documentary 'mind blowing' and said it left her shaken. According to her post, she found the whole thing terrifying and insisted that more people need to watch and talk about it. She declared it is time to 'find Amy' – a call to action that quickly caught the attention of her massive fanbase. Who was Amy Bradley and what happened? At just 23, Amy had recently graduated from university and set sail with her family, her parents Ron and Iva, and her younger brother Brad, on what was supposed to be a relaxing Caribbean holiday. But on the early morning of March 23rd, 1998, Amy vanished. She had returned to her cabin around 3:35am after partying at a nightclub onboard. By 6:15am, she was gone. No note. No trace. Just silence. Despite an intense search involving helicopters and coast guards, not a single piece of evidence was recovered. Coast Guard official Henry Vrutaal stated in the doc that it was 'the biggest search' they had ever conducted, yet they found nothing. The island of Curaçao, where the ship had docked, offered no answers. Kim is hooked on true crime, and wants answers This is not the first time Kim has spoken out about a haunting true crime case. She recently shared her reaction to Amazon Prime's One Night In Idaho, which follows the 2022 university murders that shocked the nation. She admitted she was overwhelmed by the pain of the victims' families and was left emotionally drained after watching it. In March 1998, Amy Lynn Bradley vanished from a cruise ship during a family vacation in the Caribbean. #FBIWFO continues to investigate her disappearance. If you have information that could lead to her recovery, call your local #FBI office or the nearest U.S. Embassy.… Whether she is studying law or watching Netflix crime docs, Kim is clearly not one to scroll past injustice.

Renuka Shahane "Heartbroken" Over Reports Of Chakda Xpress Being Shelved, Says Anushka Was "Really Good" as Jhulan
Days after reports of Anushka Sharma-starrer Chakda Xpress being shelved started doing the rounds on social media, actor Renuka Shahane has responded to the development with shock. The actor-filmmaker, who played a retired sportsperson in Chakda Xpress, told NDTV, "I didn't know. I am very shocked". View this post on Instagram A post shared by AnushkaSharma1588 (@anushkasharma) Directed by Prosit Roy, Chakda Xpress is inspired by the life of former Indian women's cricket captain Jhulan Goswami. It was a Netflix movie and produced by Anushka Sharma's brother Karnesh Ssharma's Clean Slate Filmz. Renuka Shahane, who shot for the film in 2022, said she was sad about the reported development, calling Chakda Xpress a "beautiful, impactful" film made with "a very big heart". "I am totally heartbroken. Basically, because I think everyone has put in so much effort. Anushka has also worked on herself so much for it. And whatever scenes I did were so powerful and so impactful, especially for women in sports. "Jhulan Goswami is iconic and coming from a very poor house and making it big and yet the kind of discrepancy that still exists between men's cricket and women's cricket and all other sports, I would say. Chakda Xpress had that core quality of sportsmanship," Renuka Shahane told NDTV. View this post on Instagram A post shared by AnushkaSharma1588 (@anushkasharma) Speaking about Anushka Sharma's performance as legendary Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami, Renuka Shahane said, "She's really done such a good job of creating that character, and it's so difficult to do because when icons are there in front of us and you have to perform as them it is even more challenging." She revealed that most of her scenes were with Anushka Sharma, and while dubbing, she got to watch parts of the film. "It's shot well, it's really well made. I was so looking forward to it. I wish there was some way such a beautiful film could be salvaged." The actor also praised Prosit Roy, calling him "such a fine director", and said she was proud of being part of a project that spotlighted the untold struggles and passion of women athletes. "You can never take the field off the sportsperson," she said of her own role and its emotional depth. Shot in 2022 and reportedly completed in 2023, Chakda Xpress was meant to be a powerful tribute to the life and career of Jhulan Goswami. But with the film now shelved indefinitely, those who worked on it like Renuka and Dibyendu Bhattacharya are left only with the memories of what could have been. The makers of the film are yet to officially confirm the status of the film.
