The eagerly anticipated Netflix dark comedy series "Sirens" has bolstered its cast with an ensemble of eight exciting newcomers, Variety reveals. This diverse addition comprises Josh Segarra, renowned for his roles in "Scream" and "Abbott Elementary," Felix Solis who graced our screens in "Ozark" and "The Recruit," Trevor Salter from "She-Hulk," Britne Oldford in "Dead Ringers" and "Umbrella Academy," Lauren Weedman of "Hacks" and "Looking," Jenn Lyon who shined in "Claws" and "Dead Boy Detectives," Erin Neufer from "Fellow Travelers" and "Julia," and Emily Borromeo, a standout in "Blue Bloods" and "FBI: Most Wanted." Detailed character sketches await your discovery.
The series, now in full swing in New York, sees these fresh faces join an already star-studded cast including Julianne Moore, Meghann Fahy, and Milly Alcock, alongside Glenn Howerton and Kevin Bacon. In February, Variety broke the news exclusively that this compelling tale would be gracing Netflix. It's a project born from the creative mind of Molly Smith Metzler, the brilliant creator of "Maid," and is based on her play "Elemeno Pea."
The narrative unfolds over a fateful weekend at a luxurious beach mansion. Devon (Fahy) harbors concerns over her sister Simone's (Alcock) seemingly sinister bond with her enigmatic new boss, the socialite Michaela Kell (Moore). Simone is enraptured by Michaela's cult-like life of extravagance, but Devon is determined to intervene. As Devon confronts her sister, she's unaware of the formidable force she's about to encounter in Michaela.
"Sirens" marks the first project under Metzler's multi-year partnership with Netflix, following the resounding success of "Maid." Under her Quiet Coyote banner, she doubles as the writer, showrunner, and executive producer. Dani Gorin, Tom Ackerley, and Margot Robbie also lend their executive producing talents to the LuckyChap production. Nicole Kassell will helm the first two episodes, adding her executive producer credentials to the list.
Character Descriptions:
Josh Segarra portrays Raymond, a proud franchise restaurant manager in Buffalo, who also happens to be Devon's long-standing, tumultuous, yet enduring love interest.
Felix Solis takes on the role of Jose, a humble gardener by day but, in reality, the multifaceted mastermind behind The Cliff House. He's the estate's overarching manager, head of security, and the puppeteer of its intricate surveillance system, serving as Peter Kell's trusted confidant.
Trevor Salter embodies Jordan, the dashing captain of Ethan's yacht. His rugged charm captivates all the society ladies, leaving them smitten.
Britne Oldford stars as Missy, the seasonal housekeeper for the Kells. She loathes her job and the cumbersome commute from the mainland, adding a layer of drama to her already hectic life.
Lauren Weedman shines as Patrice, the longstanding personal chef to the Kells. She's a professional with a steely edge and a strict no-nonsense attitude, ensuring every meal is nothing short of perfection.
Jenn Lyon, Erin Neufer, and Emily Borromeo come together as "The Fates" — Cloe, Lisa, and Astrid. They often speak in unison, dressed identically, and are devoted to Michaela and her preservation efforts. Cloe, the cunning one, Lisa, the zealous advocate, and Astrid, the seemingly oblivious one, form a unique bond that complements their collective mission.
