The series is told over the course of a weekend at a lavish beach estate. Per the official logline, “Devon (Fahy) thinks her sister Simone (Alcock) has a really creepy relationship with her new boss, the enigmatic socialite Michaela Kell (Moore). 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.”
“Sirens” is the first project under Metzler’s multi-year overall deal with Netflix, which she signed following the breakout success of “Maid.” She serves as writer, showrunner, and executive producer on “Sirens” under her Quiet Coyote banner. Dani Gorin, Tom Ackerley, and Margot Robbie also executive produce for LuckyChap. Nicole Kassell will direct the first two episodes and also serve as executive producer.
