Keeping that feminine energy going,Sirensis created byMolly Smith Metzler, who recently struck gold with the platform through her series,Maid, and hasMargot Robbie’s LuckyChap Entertainment backing it.

With strong personalities focused on wealth and power, the logline forSirensreads,
“Devon (Fahy) thinks her sister Simone (Alcock) has a really creepy relationship with her new boss, the enigmatic socialite Michaela Kell (Moore). 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,Sirensis an incisive, sexy, and darkly funny exploration of women, power, and class.”
