Sirens cast is led by rising stars like Milly Alcock and Meghann Fahy, as well as legendary actors like Julianne Moore and Kevin Bacon, ensuring an instant fan favorite. The show has received solid reviews from critics, praising it as a tight, fast-paced, compelling dark comedy with fun characters and an overarching mystery intrigue. The addictive show came to a close after just five episodes and is marketed as a limited series.

Speaking with Variety, star Meghann Fahy, who plays Devon in the show, discussed the chances of a second season. While the show is currently believed to be a limited series with its conclusive fifth episode, Fahy mentioned she would be interested in the idea of continuing the story with another season. She mentioned that the cast and crew hadn't explored the possibility while working on Sirens, but that she'd be particularly curious about what might happen to Julianne Moore's Michaela. Read her full quote below:

“It ends in a very natural way, but I can imagine what the characters’ worlds become. I, for one, would love to know what happens to Michaela, where she goes. So I think it’s definitely within the realm of possibility. We didn’t talk about it on set, but I would love to do more.”

What A Second Season Would Mean For Sirens

Sirens Would Be The Latest Miniseries To Be Extended

The industry has seen a number of limited series suddenly transforming into multi-season shows, and it's become something of a grueling trend. This has happened with great, Emmy-winning shows like Beef, Big Little Lies, Shogun, and more, and while it's inherently a bad thing to continue a beloved story, there's something to be said about knowing when to stop. Like Meghann Fahy says, "it ends in a natural place," and Sirens might be best left as a one-and-done, hit limited series.

Our Take On Sirens Season 2

Sirens Is Best Left As A Miniseries

Sirens has been praised for its compact five-episode run, not fluffing out its story with filler or meaningless tangents, but instead offering a direct story that could be binge-watched and enjoyed over a weekend. Sure, its characters have the legs for more storytelling, but the TV series also ends in a great position. It's based on a 2011 play called Elemeno Pea, and attempting to milk another season from it sounds a lot like what happened with Big Little Lies and its far less acclaimed sophomore season.

I'm willing to it there will be a sizable portion of audiences that watch Sirens who are disappointed that it won't go on longer, but it seems like the best choice. "Quit while you're ahead" can be a negative mentality, but when it comes to art and storytelling, when a narrative's ending is written, it's often executed that way for a reason. Sirens' ending already brings the show to a satisfying conclusion.
