SUPERGIRL ACTOR MILLY ALCOCK JOINS DARK COMEDY NETFLIX SERIES AHEAD OF DCU DEBUT

Netflix has revealed the cast for Sirens, a limited series in the works at the streaming platform. Described as a dark comedy, the series will feature a new DCU star as part of its starring cast.

As announced by Netflix on Monday, Sirens will star Milly Alcock, the House of the Dragon star who was recently cast to play Supergirl in the DCU. The series will also star Julianne Moore (May December, Mary & George) and Meghann Fahy (The White Lotus, The Perfect Couple). The "female-driven" dark comedy series is created by Emmy-nominated writer Molly Smith Metzler (Maid), who serves as showrunner. Nicole Kassell will direct the first two episodes in addition to serving as an executive producer.

Character descriptions have also been revealed. Alcock will play Simone DeWitt, described as the "sharp, charming younger sister" of Fahy's Devon DeWitt. The character has "hit the jackpot working as a personal assistant to a billionaire." Fahy's Devon is "on a downward spiral back in her hometown. She is funny, resilient, and fiercely protective -- especially of her younger sister Simone." Moore's Michaela Kell is a "philanthropist and animal activist who runs island high society and is the wife to billionaire Peter Kell. Her relationship with her assistant, Simone, seems too close for comfort."

Netflix Reveals the Logline for Sirens

The official logline for Sirens reads, "Devon thinks her sister Simone has a really creepy relationship with her new boss, the enigmatic socialite Michaela Kell. Michaela’s cult-ish life of luxury is like a drug to Simone, and Devon has decided it’s time for an intervention. When Devon tracks her sister down to say WTF, she has no idea what a formidable opponent Michaela will be. Told over the course of one explosive weekend at The Kells’ lavish beach estate, Sirens is an incisive, sexy, and darkly funny exploration of women, power, and class."

Metzler executive produces the series alongside Dani Gorin, Tom Ackerley, and Margot Robbie for LuckyChap. The project is spawned from the creative partnership between Metzler and Netflix, following her acclaimed series Maid in 2021. Sirens is based on Metzler's play Elemeno Pea, which was written at The Juilliard School.

Sirens doesn't yet have a premiere date set on Netflix, but it is now known when Milly Alcock will be on the big screen as Supergirl. While it's rumored she could appear in Superman or another DCU project before starring in her own film, it's been announced that Alcock's Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will be released on June 26, 2026.
