Sirens
closes its first season with a finale packed with betrayal, transformation, and a final choice that leaves viewers questioning Simone's moral compass and future.

'You are my best friend, and now you're a threat to my marriage,' Kiki tells her. 'You've put everything I built at risk. So now, you have to go.'

In the midst of the chaos, revelations emerge about Jocelyn Kell, Peter's first wife. Far from being dead, she is alive but secluded in Washington state, having retreated from public life after botched plastic surgery. 'Half her face is dead flesh,' Kiki reveals, 'and she's blind in one eye.'
Peter's breaking point with Michaela leads to a blunt confrontation about their failed marriage and her manipulative grip over his personal life. She responds coldly: 'Don't be the fool that f-cks the assistant.'

As the dust settles, Simone emerges at the top—now romantically linked to Peter and named head of the Folger Wildlife Preservation Society. From caregiver to power player, Simone's transformation is complete.
Showrunner Kit Steinkellner commented on the ambiguity of Simone's arc: 'One of the reasons it was so thrilling to write Simone is that I wanted the audience to either love or hate what she chooses in the end.'
The final moments on the ferry show a moment of reflection between Devon and Kiki. Kiki admits that the mysterious 'Hey Hey' was nothing more than her invention—one others simply followed. Meanwhile, Simone is last seen at the mansion, fully immersed in a new life of wealth, influence, and moral ambiguity.
The finale leaves one question hanging: Did Simone truly rise, or did she simply become another version of the system she once served?

Rana Daggubati feels like the Terminator due to his blind eye, kidney transplant: ‘Has become a comedy now'
Actor Rana Daggubati has been candid about his health issues in the past, and he was no different while promoting season 2 of his Netflix web series Rana Naidu. In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Rana even joked that he's like the Terminator because he has a 'bunch' of transplants. (Also Read: Rana Daggubati opens up about nepotism in film industries, says 'ultimately you have to stand in front of camera, act') Rana was asked if it's difficult to do action sequences, given that he is blind in the right eye. He said, 'The eye now, over the years, has become a comedy because I can't see from one side. And in action, it gets really funny. If I don't have my lenses on and there's too much dust, it gets a bit messy. I tell people I'm almost like the Terminator. I have an eye, I have a kidney, I have a bunch of things transplant. You've seen the Terminator? I'm almost there, guys.' He then revealed that in his action sequences with Arjun Rampal, the latter would be worried about his eye. 'One part of the take, Arjun kept looking at me and asking me if I'm crying. I was like no dude, it's just water, it's not the problem with the eye. He's like, are you crying? I'm like, no dude. But yeah, that happens,' said Rana. Rana revealed in 2016 on the show Memu Saitham that he was blind in his right eye and that his left eye has a corneal transplant. He said, 'Should I tell you one thing, I am blind in my right eye. I see only from my left eye. The one you see is someone else's eye, which was donated to me after his death. If I close my left eye, I can see no one. LV Prasad (Eye Institute) operated on me when I was young.' At the Synapse 2024 event, he spoke about his health issues and said, 'Everyone saw me bulked up for Baahubali. So, everyone asked if I was ill, and I didn't want to answer them. It was harder for me to live with people in the city; it was too much. I started becoming a slightly mean person. There was a point when, if people asked about my health, I said, unless you can donate a kidney or an eye, don't ask about it. I didn't like what I was doing.' The second season of Rana Naidu sees Rana reprise his role as the titular character and his uncle, actor Venkatesh, as his father, Naga Naidu. It was released on Netflix on 13 June. Rana was last seen in the 2024 Tamil film Vettaiyan.
