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.
Will there be a season 2 of Sirens?
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.
Who would be in the season 2 cast?
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.
What would happen in a season 2 of Sirens?
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.
