We already know that Netflix's Sirens is all about "socialites, scandal, and power struggles" (Gossip Girl, anyone?), but the streamer finally just announced when we can watch the new show, and it's even sooner than we hoped. In addition to confirming its early summer release date, we also have a first look at stars Meghann Fahy, Julianne Moore, and Kevin Bacon — and it makes me want to watch the show even more than I already did. (And considering the show is produced by Margot Robbie, I already really wanted to watch it). Here's your first look at Netflix's new dark comedy.

Keep reading for the first look at Sirens, coming to Netflix May 22, 2025.

'Sirens' is an "explosive" look at power.

Netflix

In Sirens, Devon (Meghann Fahy) is worried about her sister Simone (Milly Alcock). Or, more specifically, Simone's way-too-close relationship with her boss, socialite Michaela Kell (Julianne Moore). When Devon decides enough is enough, she shows up to set Simone straight, unaware the "explosive" Labor Day weekend at Michaela's "lavish beach estate" will change everything.

"Sirens is an incisive, sexy, and darkly funny exploration of women, power, and class," the show's official logline says. And you know what? That makes for some great TV. The show is executive produced by LuckyChap's Dani Gorin, Tom Ackerley, and Margot Robbie, as well as Colin McKenna.

And the 'Sirens' cast makes it a standout series.

Netflix

In the Sirens first look, we see Meghann Fahy as Devon, armed with what looks like a fruit basket and a scowl. Here's the full Sirens cast list:

  • Meghann Fahy as Devon DeWitt: Simone's concerned and persistent older sister.
  • Julianne Moore as Michaela Kell: a mysterious philanthropist & animal activist and Simone's boss.
  • Milly Alcock as Simone DeWitt: Devon's witty younger sister who works as Michaela's personal assistant.
  • Kevin Bacon as Peter Kell: Michaela's billionaire husband.
  • Glenn Howerton as Ethan Corbin III: the Kells' wealthy, if indulgent, bachelor neighbor
  • Bill Camp as Bruce DeWitt: Devon and Simone's dad who's dealing with a devastating diagnosis.
  • Felix Solis as Jose: the manager, gardener, and head of security of Cliff House.
  • Josh Segarra as Raymond: Devon's on-again-off-again boyfriend.
  • Trevor Salter as Jordan: the very handsome captain of Ethan's yacht.
  • Britne Oldford as Missy: the Kells' seasonal housekeeper.
  • Lauren Weedman as Patrice: the Kells' strictly-business personal chef.
  • Jenn Lyon as Cloe: the meanest member of "The Fates."
  • Erin Neufer as Lisa: a passionate, zealous part of "The Fates" trio.
  • Emily Borromeo as Astrid: the ditzy third member of "The Fates."

Netflix

And Julianne Moore's Michaela is all grace and poise, especially at home in her lavish estate. “This story has a lot of teeth,” series creator Molly Smith Metzler says in an interview with Tudum. “There are real moments of drama, and it’s going to make people uncomfortable. Operatic is a word I like to use to describe it. It’s a true dark comedy — and it’s got a Greek mythology vibe.”

“Julianne’s just the dream for this role because she does feel ethereal,” she continues. “She’s from another kingdom. She is not a normie.”

Here's when you can watch 'Sirens.'

Sirens will stream on Netflix starting May 22, 2025.

How many episodes does Sirens on Netflix have?

Ayo Edebiri's New Apple TV+ Rom-Com Show Is For 'Nobody Wants This' Lovers

We're still waiting to hear if Ayo Edebiri will lead an Emily Henry movie (fingers crossed!) but we did just get confirmation Ayo's finally starring in a rom-com! (Alongside Will Sharpe hello!) But following in the footsteps of Netflix's Nobody Wants This and Running Point, the AppleTV+ project, called Prodigies will be a multi-episodic TV show. Keep reading for everything we know about the upcoming show.

Here's what you need to know about Ayo Edebiri and Will Sharpe's Prodigies, coming to AppleTV+ soon.

What is Prodigies about?

Prodigies follows Didi (Ayo Edebiri) and Renn (Will Sharpe), two former child prodigies who are trying to deal with their seemingly ordinary life in their early 30s — and their long-term relationship. And as the official synopsis reads, "As individual hopes and needs feed into and conflict with their shared lives, the series challenges the fallacy at the heart of romantic storytelling — that the tale is over when the heroes get together. In life, surely, that is just the beginning?"

Where can I watch Prodigies?

The show will be on Apple TV+, but stay tuned for an official Prodigies release date. Hopefully we'll see new episodes in 2026!

How many episodes will Prodigies have?

Prodigies will have seven episodes total. Stay tuned for the official release schedule and episode titles.

5 Easy Cleaning Hacks To Refresh Your Space This Spring

Culligan
water filter

Spring cleaning is the perfect chance to refresh your home and your beauty routine. Declutter, open windows for fresh air, swap out linens, and deep clean every corner — creating a space that feels lighter and brighter so you do too.

Lately, we’ve been obsessed with water quality at home, and it’s something we don’t talk about enough. Clean water isn’t just better for drinking; it impacts everything from our laundry and appliances to our hair and skin. As we refresh our space for spring (and beyond), we’re making sure every drop — from the kitchen sink to the shower — is working in our favor. That’s where Culligan comes in.

Thirdman

From bathroom buildup to spotty dishes, Culligan’s smart water softeners reduce hard water residue and make your cleaning easier and last longer. And their most advanced reverse osmosis systems are certified to reduce 90+ contaminants in your drinking water, including lead, bacteria, chlorine, “forever chemicals,” and more.

There’s something reassuring about knowing your water is cleaner — whether you’re drinking, washing, or cleaning. We partnered with Culligan to show five easy ways to create a cleaner home this spring.

1. Follow the two-minute rule.

If a task takes less than two minutes (like wiping down counters or tossing laundry into the hamper), do it immediately. This small habit prevents clutter from piling up and keeps your space consistently clean.

2. Spring clean your beauty routine.

If you want a home that stays cleaner longer — and hair and skin that look and feel healthier — a water softener might be the must-have appliance you didn’t know you needed. Hard water leaves behind a stubborn residue that clings to hair follicles (hello, limp locks and frizz), fades color treatments, and contributes to dry scalp. It can also block pores and prevent the natural oils from reaching the skin's surface, leading to irritation, dryness, and even flare-ups for those with sensitive skin.

3. Purify your air naturally.

We need clear air just as much as we need clean water. Swap artificial air fresheners for houseplants like peace lilies or snake plants, which help filter toxins. You can also boil lemon peels and rosemary in a pot of water on the stove to release natural antibacterial properties into the air.

Rachel Claire

Protect your appliances from the inside out.

Run a cleaning cycle with a cup of white vinegar in your dishwasher or washing machine to break down limescale and mineral buildup, which can shorten the lifespan of your appliances and lead to costly repairs. For long-term protection, consider installing a water softener. Culligan water softeners remove potentially damaging minerals from your water before it reaches your faucets, and helps keep your appliances running like new (and dishes sparkling clean!).

DIY non-toxic cleaners.

Ditch harsh chemicals and make your own all-purpose cleaner by mixing equal parts white vinegar and water with a few drops of essential oil (like tea tree or lavender). It’s budget-friendly, eco-conscious, and safe for kids and pets.

Culligan

Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be a hassle — especially when you start with cleaner, safer water. Take one thing off your to-do list by scheduling a free consultation with Culligan. Their experts will test your water and offer personalized recommendations tailored to your home and your needs — no guesswork, no stress. And you’ll have cleaner water every day without lifting a finger.

There will be some departures, too. Most notably, Sara Ramirez, who portrayed comedian Chez Diaz, and Karen Pittman, who took on the role of Professor Nya Wallace. But don't worry, because there will be two new exciting faces showing up on your screen.

Hot Take: These 8 Classic Teen Shows Actually Aged Poorly

Teen shows from the '90s and 2000s were once cornerstones of our youth. We all raced home from school to catch 4:00 P.M. specials or tried to get all our homework done for whatever new episode was airing in the coveted 8:00 P.M. slot.

But while we fell in love with some classic characters and storylines, there are certain teen shows that are undeniably cringeworthy today. From problematic themes to outdated stereotypes and tropes, here are 10 that simply haven't stood the test of time.

Scroll to see all the classic teen shows that actually aged pretty poorly...

ABC

1. Pretty Little Liars

One of the most controversial aspects of Pretty Little Liars is the relationship between high schooler Aria Montgomery, played by Lucy Hale, and Ezra Fitz, depicted by Ian Harding.

The pair's romance is the heart of the show, but their relationship would raise a lot of eyebrows today, considering Ezra is Aria's teacher, and she's a minor. Pretty Little Liars also glosses over the power imbalance, ethical issues, and the fact that a teacher dating a student is illegal.

Nowadays, a teen show featuring such an inappropriate relationship wouldn't fly for anyone.

NBC

2. Saved by the Bell

While Saved by the Bell continues to be a beloved '90s sitcom, it still has plenty of cringeworthy moments. Arguably, the worst incident occurs in Season 1 Episode 2, when Lisa Turtle exceeds her father's credit card limit.

This pushes Zack Morris to come up with an idea to help Lisa pay off the debt: she could charge boys $1 to kiss her without consent. He even gave the scheme a name, "Losing their Lisa cards."

Somewhat similar to Pretty Little Liars, this plot line disregarded consent. We can probably all agree that joking about ignoring women's autonomy wasn't humorous then and still isn't funny now.

Warner Bros.

3. Smallville

Smallville, which is based on a young Clark Kent grappling with his newfound superpowers, had a lot of bizarre storylines. Nonetheless, Season 1 Episode 7 definitely took the cake.

It featured Jodi Melville, an overweight teen classmate of Clark's, who uses a kryptonite-infused detox juice in order to lose weight. Things take a turn when the juice boosts her metabolism so much that she craves human fat.

The episode took extremely sensitive issues, like body image and the pressures of losing weight, and transformed them into a horror trope instead of giving viewers a nuanced take on eating disorders. It sensationalized Jodi's struggles and added a level of cruelty to an already vulnerable topic for teenagers.

90210 Productions

4. Beverly Hills, 90210

To be fair, Beverly Hills, 90210 was actually known for tackling taboo subject matters, such as racism, substance abuse, and domestic violence, which were typically overlooked by mainstream media.

Even so, one specific episode dealing with gun control is still highly controversial today and has even been ripped from streaming platforms. During Season 2, Episode 14, West Beverly High students open up a time capsule. Then, the character Scott Scanlon accidentally shoots himself with his father's gun in front of a friend.

In the wake of today's ongoing problems with gun access and school violence, the storyline is unsettling and lacks the depth to address such complex topics.

Warner Bros.

5. Gilmore Girls

Oh, where to begin with Gilmore Girls. Even though this show ended in 2007, it remains extremely popular among both old and new fans. Still, it's also packed with tons of representation and diversity issues.

First of all, the cast is predominantly white, and the sole Black character, Michel Gerard, is relegated to a one-dimensional role as a sarcastic and snobby concierge. Then, there's Lane's mother, Mrs. Kim, whose character is based on the stereotypes of Asian mothers being overly strict and traditional.

Throw in Emily Gilmore's blatant mistreatment of her household staff, and it's clear that genuine representations of race are lacking.

This show brought together some of our favorite actors like Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Kelly Bishop, and more!

The CW

6. One Tree Hill

Moving on to One Tree Hill, this show has come under fire for its portrayal of women, who are often pitted against each other. The female characters are thrown into emotional turmoil, especially when it comes to romantic conflicts. And despite the potential for character growth, they get into catfights and more drama again.

Meanwhile, the men are able to move past issues with something as simple as a fist bump. The unequal approach to gender dynamics paints women as irrational and emotionally unstable, which just isn't valid.

One Tree Hillstarred teen drama faves like Chad Michael Murray, Sophia Bush, Bethany Joy Lenz, and Hilarie Burton.

The CW

7. Gossip Girl

Gossip Girl gave all of us everyday teens a glimpse into the (supposed) lives of Manhattan's wealthiest and most scandalous teenagers. Despite the premise being undeniably intriguing, the show featured a lot of debauchery that still shocks parents today.

One of the most problematic characters is probably Chuck Bass, who treats women like objects. Yet, his actions are written off or even accepted since he's rich. There's also the subplot of teenage Nate having an affair with an adult (and married) duchess. Just these two examples alone wouldn't work on screen in 2025, especially in a show targeted at adolescents.

This starred your all your faves, including Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Chace Crawford, Taylor Momsen, and Ed Westwick!

MTV

8. Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County

Finally, Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County captured the glamorous lives of Southern California teenagers. In the process, it frequently depicted casual underage drinking, which doesn't send a good message to impressionable viewers.

Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County promoted the idea that alcohol has to be involved in order to have some real fun. With more awareness around the risks of underage drinking today, that much partying couldn't be so romanticized.

This series gave us the icons that are Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari!
