We’re getting the first look at footage from Sirens, Netflix‘s upcoming dark comedy starring Meghann Fahy, Julianne Moore and Milly Alcock.
Set to Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know,” the trailer finds Meghann Fahy’s Devon determined to retrieve her sister from what she sees as a “creepy relationship” between Alcock’s Simone and her socialite boss Michaela “Kiki” Kell, played by Moore. Devon appears at Kiki’s mansion after learning their father, played by Bill Camp, has dementia and is disturbed that Simone could only be bothered to send a fruit basket.
Created by Emmy-nominated writer and showrunner Molly Smith Metzler (Maid) and executive produced by LuckyChap, the five-episode limited series is an adaptation of Metzler’s play Elemeno Pea. Per the logline, “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, the show is billed as an incisive, sexy, and darkly funny exploration of women, power, and class. The limited series also stars Kevin Bacon (Peter Kell), Glenn Howerton (Ethan Corbin III) and Felix Solis (Jose).
In addition to showrunning and writing, Metzler exec produces for Quiet Coyote, alongside Dani Gorin, Tom Ackerley, and Margot Robbie for LuckyChap. Emmy nominee Nicole Kassell (Watchmen) directs the first two episodes, also serving as EP.
