Plot and Characters: A Mixture of Love and Deceit
The concept of ‘Sirens’ revolves around a twisted tale of sisterly love that sours when a manipulative billionaire’s opulent lifestyle becomes a temptation too hard to resist. Bacon graces the story as Michaela’s husband, Peter Kell. Belonging to “old money”, he’s a man that naturally commands attention when he walks into a room. Peter relishes in outdoor activities and the occasional spliff. Yet, beneath the glamour, he may not be as likeable as he seems.
Alongside Bacon, Howerton plays Ethan Corbin II, a trust-fund reliant guy next door seen dwindling his inheritance rapidly. His character raises eyebrows, making us wonder if he knows what he’s really doing.
‘Sirens’ also stars a fantastic female lead ensemble including Julianne Moore, Meghann Fahy, and Milly Alcock. Moore will be seen as the enchanting socialite Michaela Kell, who bewitches Simone (Alcock) with her luxurious lifestyle. Fahy’s character, Devon, tries to intervene to save her sister from losing herself in this web of wealth and mystery.
Digging Deeper into the Characters
Devon DeWitt, portrayed by Fahy, is a character stuck in a downward spiral, feeling trapped in her home town. Despite her circumstances, she’s known for her humor, charm, and fiercely protective nature towards her sister, Simone.
Meanwhile, Simone, brought to life by Alcock, is intelligent, witty, and absolutely ambitious. She cherishes her job with wealthy Michaela Kell, and yearns to sample her fancy lifestyle. As their bond strengthens, Devon is left scrambling to separate them before Simone gets swallowed by the enticing yet dangerous world of Michaela’s.

Steering the show is Emmy-nominated writer and showrunner Molly Smith Metzler. Known for her work on ‘Maid’, Metzler has adapted the series from her own play, Elemeno Pea. Margot Robbie‘s LuckyChap is the executive producer of the project.
