Get in the golf cart, we’re going to Cliff House.
The new limited series Sirens trailer invites us to a mysterious seaside estate, where a star-studded cast of characters resides.
There’s Michaela Kell (Oscar-winner Julianne Moore) — the lady of the manor and wife of billionaire mogul Peter Kell (Kevin Bacon) — Mrs. Kell’s loyal assistant Simone DeWitt (Milly Alcock), fellow wealthy neighbor Ethan Corbin III (Glenn Howerton), and the many hardworking staff members who make Cliff House run.
However, Simone’s older sister Devon DeWitt (Emmy-nominee Meghann Fahy) isn’t impressed by the monied “Easter egg” people milling about the waterfront mansion in Sirens.
Instead, as we learn in the video, anxiety is rising for Devon as she tries to figure out if the enigmatic Michaela is Simone’s saviour or a “monster” threatening to drag her sister into unknown depths.
In the trailer for the dark comedy, Devon’s desperation is palpable as she travels from Buffalo, NY to the posh island to uncover what exactly is going on between Michaela and Simone.
It seems like her urgency is warranted, as Peter makes clear that everyone tends to “worship” Michaela, or “Kiki” as her nearest and dearest call her including Simone. Meanwhile, Michaela’s colorfully dressed friends swear their alliance with her gives them “power.”
As for Simone? She seems thoroughly addicted to the luxurious lifestyle her boss provides. In fact, Simone swears she’s the “happiest she’s ever been,” despite the many tears the twentysomething sheds in the trailer.
But, as Devon takes in Simone’s preppy new look and the increasingly suspicious goings-on at Cliff House, she starts to doubt Simone and Michaela’s story and looks into what’s happening beneath all the polished surfaces.
So what is Simone sprinting away from? You’ll have to watch all five explosive episodes of Sirens when they premiere on the 22nd of May on Netflix.
