There's Still Some Hope That 'Sirens' Could Get Another Season
Though Netflix's new dark comedy Sirens just dropped yesterday, we're already fantasizing about a second season. Created by Molly Smith Metzler (Maid) and executive produced by Margot Robbie's LuckyChap, the five-episode series follows two estranged sisters, Devon DeWitt (Meghann Fahy) and Simone DeWitt (Milly Alcock), who reconnect after spending an extended time apart. Simone works as a live-in assistant for a quirky socialite, Michaela 'Kiki' Kell (Julianne Moore), and Devon spends a weekend at the Kell's beach estate while they plan for their annual gala. Kevin Bacon also stars as Michaela's husband Peter, and Glenn Howerton, Bill Camp, and Felix Solis round out the stacked cast. While it's touted as a limited series, that hasn't stopped a network from renewing a show before. Below, here's everything we know about season 2. As of right now, there's no definitive answer. In a recent interview with Variety, Smith Metzler noted that although the story of Sirens, which is actually an adaptation of her 2011 play Elemeno Pea, is 'contained,' she's still 'dying' to work on a continuous series. 'I'm really excited to move into an ongoing space,' she said, 'and I'm actively thinking about that and looking for what that will be.' If that means that there might be hope for a potential second season, we'll take it. Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock, Julianne Moore, and Kevin Bacon would undoubtedly have to return, as they're the main cast members in season 1, and much of the story revolves around their characters. The fifth and final episode of season 1, 'Siren Song,' ended on a major cliffhanger. Simone turns down her boyfriend's engagement and, instead, starts dating her boss Michaela's husband Peter, and Devon decides to put her own life on hold to continue being the sole caretaker for their dad. A second season might pick up where we left off and dive into Simone's new life of luxury as the new Mrs. Kell. It would also be interesting to see what happens to Michaela now that she and Peter are divorced. This post will be updated.

Sirens (2025) – Season 1 Episode 5 Recap, Review & Ending Explained
Siren Song Episode 5 of Sirens begins with Simone waking up from a nap at the hospital. Devon is there and they are waiting for news about Ethan. Simone apologises for not responding to Devon's 'sirens' texts and also for their argument the previous night. Devon agrees she needed to hear some of that. Simone then asks about the times when Devon texted and she tells her how hard things were with their dad. Simone tells her she needs to leave that house and even invites Devon to stay with her in New York once she starts her new job. Devon doesn't take it up and Simone then encourages her to go with Morgan. Back home, Michaela is packing up all of Simone's things. The staff realise she's getting fired and begin to celebrate. Peter and Morgan join Devon and Simone at the hospital. The girls have learned that Ethan has several broken bones. Devon and Morgan head back to Cliff House and Devon asks him when he's leaving for his cruise to Palm Beach. He says he's leaving at daybreak and she finally accepts his request. She agrees to see him after the gala. However, she doesn't find her father or Ray in the guesthouse. She finds Bruce standing right by the cliff and pulls him away from the edge. They head out to look for Ray and find some of his things on the beach. Allie, Ray's wife, calls the phone and Bruce picks up. Devon is forced to take the call and admit that she's with Ray. At the hospital, Ethan wakes up and gets angry when he sees Simone. He blames Simone for pushing him down the cliff but Peter convinces him it's all in his head. Does Simone get fired? Simone and Peter return home and Simone finds the staff in an eerily good mood. However, she gets a cold welcome from Michaela who tells her to wait in her room while the gala rehearsal goes on. Simone is shocked to see all her things packed up. The photograph of her and Peter sits on top of the boxes. Michaela gets another shock when Peter reveals he's invited his kids and extended family to the gala. Michaela then goes up to Simone's room and tells her to leave. Simone tries to explain that it was all Peter and not her. But Michaela sees her as a threat to her marriage and wants her gone. Elsewhere, Bruce is getting fit in a tux for the gala. Devon then tells him she wants to go sailing with Morgan and he tells her to go. But he then calls her Simone and forgets what they were talking about. Then Missy, one of the staff members, arrives and tells them she's here to help them pack. Why does Simone run away? Jose arrives with Simone to pick them up. Simone is in shock and doesn't respond to anything Devon says. Devon then gets a call from the police station and learns that Ray is there, drunk. While they argue, Bruce speaks to Simone and apologises for everything in the past. He then tells her that Devon will be going away and that it will be him and her again. This is obviously terrible news for Simone who ends up running away. When Peter finds out that Simone was let go, he asks Michaela for an explanation. She says Simone stole her earrings and she can't let Simone take what's hers. Back home, Peter goes to Simone's room and pleasures himself. When he looks out the window, he sees Simone standing on the estate. He follows her down to the beach, where Simone says she has something to say. Peter then makes a call to Jose who turns the car around. Does Peter end up with Simone? Jose arrives at Cliff House where the gala has officially started. He goes to a secret safe and takes out an envelope. Inside is the picture of Peter and Simone. Devon heads out to look for Simone and finds Morgan instead. She tells him that she can't go with him. Devon then confronts Michaela for firing Simone and even calls her out for being a murderer. Michaela explains that Jocelyn lives as a recluse because of a plastic surgery gone wrong. Devon looks sheepish and walks away. Peter then arrives and pulls Michaela aside. He says he wants out of the marriage and reveals that he's destroyed the photo of him and Simone. Michaela points out how unfair the prenup is and that Peter is responsible for his relationship with his children. But Peter stands his ground and soon Simone enters the room in her striking gala dress. Michaela realises what's happened and walks away. What happens to Devon and Simone's relationship? Devon then sees Simone and Peter and understands what's happened as well. When Devon asks about Michaela, Simone spouts the same dialogue Michaela used: 'If it doesn't serve you, let it go.' Devon looks sad and says she will be going home to take care of her father. She tells Simone that dropping out of college to take care of her was the best thing she's done. Simone didn't serve her but Devon didn't let go. Simone promises to see Devon again in the city. They exchange 'I love you's and Devon leaves Simone to her fancy new life. What happens to Michaela? How does Sirens end? On the boat back to the mainland, Devon sees Michaela and approaches her. Devon apologises to her and asks her what she's going to do. Michaela says she doesn't know. Devon says she's going to get a place of her own and Michaela advises her to cash that cheque for ten thousand. Devon assures Michaela that she isn't a monster. She tells Devon that neither is Simone. Sirens Episode 5 ends with a shot of Simone standing by cliff, looking out at the estate. The Episode Review So, Episode 5 brings Sirens to a sad but full-circle moment. It's definitely tragic as Simone finds herself in an impossible situation. That moment in the police station where her father gently tells her it will be just them again is done so well; Milly Alcock's performance truly makes Bruce's words feel like more of a threat. Considering all he did in the past, it's natural that Simone wants to run away. Stuck between two hells, she chooses the one with Peter because it is, for now, safer. It's sad because right till the end, you're left with a feeling of wanting to save Simone. And it definitely seems like Devon felt the same, judging by the sad look she was wearing through their entire final conversation. Michaela is forced to leave her life behind and I can't help but feel like she got an easier out. She let go of Simone all too easily for someone who claimed to be so close to her. All in all, it's a solid finale, though. It wraps up the show's loose threads and paints Peter as the real villain (of sorts) and the women as the characters who always get left with the short end of the stick. A tight ending for the miniseries. Previous Episode Expect A Full Season Write-Up When This Season Concludes!
