“What is this place? And why does everyone look like an easter egg?”
Devon used to be super close to her sister Simone, but things take a dark turn when she discovers her sibling has fallen dangerously under the spell of her new boss, Michaela Kell – a woman who runs a cult-like business on a posh estate. Determined to save Simone, Devon does everything she can to convince her to leave. But breaking free from a magnetic cult leader’s grip? Never easy.
Netflix has unveiled the official trailer for its upcoming thriller series Sirens, starring Julianne Moore as the enigmatic Michaela Kell. Meghann Fahy plays the fiercely determined Devon, who’s hellbent on rescuing her sister Simone, portrayed by Milly Alcock. The trailer opens with the familiar melody of Gotye’s Somebody That I Used to Know, only to reveal it’s actually Doechii’s viral track Anxiety, which cleverly samples the same tune, a sharp and timely music choice, considering the song’s massive popularity on social media right now.
The plot looks refreshingly offbeat, and Julianne Moore nails the role of the charismatic, manipulative “super boss” with ease. Meghann Fahy and Milly Alcock also showcase a fun, love-hate sibling dynamic as Devon and Simone. The platinum-haired Simone, who could’ve walked right off the set of Stepford Wives, is so far gone under Michaela’s influence that she doesn’t even flinch when offered a piece of her boss’s half-chewed gum. Ew. LOL.
So, what exactly is Michaela Kell’s deal? And will Devon save her sister from the creepy boss’ clutches? Thankfully, the trailer doesn’t give much away – leaving viewers to tune in and unravel the mystery themselves.
The series will be streaming from May 22 on Netflix.
