Netflix’s newest limited series Sirens is proving that some stories are too gripping to end after just one season. In just seven days, the drama has amassed over 16.7 million views, according to data from Netflix’s Tudum—and fans are already flooding social media with demands for a second season.
Created by Molly Smith Metzler, known for her work on Maid, Sirens has quickly become the streaming platform’s most talked-about series of the week. The cast includes Julianne Moore (Still Alice), Meghann Fahy (The White Lotus), and Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon), whose performances have been widely praised.
A Powerful Plot with a Lasting Impact
Sirens follows Devon (Fahy), a woman attempting to reconnect with her younger sister Simone (Alcock), only to be drawn into the manipulative world of Simone’s enigmatic and powerful boss, Michaela (Moore). As tensions rise, Devon must decide whether to pull her sister out of a luxurious but dangerous lifestyle or risk losing her altogether.
With compelling performances and a tightly written script, the show has captivated audiences around the world. Viewers are calling it one of Netflix’s strongest limited series to date.
Audience Reactions: “A Solid 10/10”
The internet has been buzzing with praise. Among the thousands of posts, several stood out:
- “Complete whiplash trying to process the last 15 minutes of the final episode.”
- “Meghann Fahy is one of the most versatile actresses working today. Her range in Sirens is phenomenal.”
- “Sirens is one of the best series in years. Absolutely gripping.”
- “A solid 10/10. I’ll be watching season two the moment it drops—if it does.”
These reactions are mirrored across platforms, creating a groundswell of support for a continuation of the series.
Will There Be a Second Season of Sirens?
Although Sirens is billed as a limited series, fans and even cast members are hopeful for more. In an interview with Glamour, creator Molly Smith Metzler acknowledged the response, stating that while she has reservations about extending the story, she is open to the possibility:
“Never say never. I’d have to think about it, but it’s really encouraging to see people connect with the characters.”
Similarly, star Meghann Fahy expressed interest in continuing the story in a conversation with Variety:
“Devon goes through such a huge evolution. I’d love to see where she goes next. I think she returns home stronger and more self-aware.”
Milly Alcock, who portrays Simone, shared similar sentiments in an interview with Town and Country:
“Simone is a complex character. There’s so much more to explore. I’d be very interested in a second season.”
What Comes Next?
As of now, Netflix has not officially announced a second season. However, the overwhelming demand and engagement suggest that Sirens could follow the path of other limited series that were later renewed due to audience demand.
Given the massive initial viewership and the positive critical and audience reception, Sirens is well-positioned for reconsideration. Netflix may need to listen closely to its audience, who are not ready to say goodbye to Simone, Devon, and Michaela just yet.
