Latest news about Sirens on netflix reveals big twist leading to surprise season 2
Netflix’s new dark drama Sirens has finally arrived, and the addicting Julianne Moore-led series has already skyrocketed to the No. 1 spot on the U.S. streaming charts. Now, many viewers are wondering whether there will be a Season 2 of Sirens, especially after the shocking ending, which opens the door to a new chapter for the Kells.
Sirens follows a struggling young woman named Devon (Meghann Fahy), who is caring for her father, Bruce (Bill Camp), who is battling early-onset dementia. Frustrated with her life and living situation, she heads to a lavish New England estate where her sister, Simone (Milly Alcock), is working. She discovers that Simone is the personal assistant to an ultra-wealthy socialite named Michaela, also known as Kiki, played by Moore. Kiki is married to billionaire Peter (Kevin Bacon), who has an enormous amount of wealth and power.
Kiki is in charge of running Peter’s wildlife foundation, which rehabilitates animals on the brink of extinction. When Devon arrives, she becomes convinced that her sister’s enigmatic boss is a creepy cult leader who may have murdered Peter’s first wife, Jocelyn, based on rumors swirling around town.
Over the course of five gripping episodes, Sirens delivers twists, turns, murder accusations, hidden romances, grief, and trauma (and that’s just scratching the surface). The series also ends also ends with unexpected outcome for two of the main characters, leaving fans eager to know about the status of Season 2.

As of Friday, May 23, 2025, Netflix has not yet renewed Sirens for a second season. Although the show was billed as a limited series, that hasn’t stopped the streamer from renewing similar projects (like Forever), especially if they perform well and viewers are eager to see what happens next.
“I just love this question because to me, it means that people love the characters, and that’s the ultimate compliment. These characters are real people to me. I wrote the play [that Sirens is based on] 15 years ago,” she said. “I’ve been thinking about them this whole time. I could write them until the day I die. I’d never say never, but could I do them justice in another season? I’d have to think about it.”
With the growing interest in a second season, Metzler added that the fact so many people are asking about it is “really encouraging.” She continued, “Can we get [Netflix head] Ted Sarandos on the phone?”

The Sirens twist ending literally flips Simone and Michaela’s roles. The former best friends are now estranged after Kiki sees a Vanity Fair photo of Simone kissing her husband, Peter. With Simone now threatening her marriage, Kiki fires her, even though Simone claims it was Peter who kissed her first.
Peter’s feelings for Simone, which were at first buried beneath the surface, emerge when Simone runs back to the mansion, terrified to return to the life she left behind with her neglectful father, who is now sick. Peter professes his love to her (which we don’t see on screen), and Simone tells him that Michaela was hiding the photo of them kissing in a safe, potentially to blackmail him later.
Kiki, believing the threat to her marriage is gone after sending Simone, her sister Devon, and their family back to Buffalo, is blindsided when Peter tells her she’s the one who has to leave. He ends the relationship, and under the terms of the prenup she signed years ago, Kiki is left with almost nothing because she couldn’t have children with him.
She boards the ferry with Devon and their father. Devon apologizes for accusing Michaela of being a cult leader who killed Peter’s ex-wife. She then asks if Michaela thinks Simone will be okay with Peter, and Michaela says that she doesn’t know, adding that it took her husband 13 years to “decide that I was a monster.”
Devon reassures Kiki that she’s not a monster, and Kiki replies, “Neither is she,” referring to Simone, who is now taking over the life and foundation Kiki worked so hard to build.
In the final scene of the limited series, Simone is poised to become the new Mrs. Kell. Like her former boss, she’ll likely control the estate, at least to the extent that Peter allows, and she’ll lead the Folger Wildlife Preservation Society. But that also means leaving a piece of her Buffalo roots and her dark past behind.

There’s plenty of material for Netflix to explore in a potential Season 2, including Simone’s new life as Peter’s partner and whether she’ll cross paths again with Michaela, or even Jocelyn, who is living on a remote island after her botched plastic surgery. Devon could also return to Cliff Mansion, especially if Simone begins to exhibit the same cult-like behavior Kiki once did.
Thankfully, Sirens could go in many different directions if the show is renewed for another season. Fahy, who plays Devon, agreed that there are more stories to tell in the Sirens universe.
“it ends in a very natural way, but I can imagine what the characters’ worlds become,” she told Variety. “I, for one, would love to know what happens to Michaela, where she goes. So I think it’s definitely within the realm of possibility. We didn’t talk about it on set, but I would love to do more.”
Stay tuned for more updates on Sirens Season 2.
