Will There Be A Season 2 Of 'Sirens' On Netflix? Here's What We Know
The five-episode series, which stars Milly Alcock, Julianne Moore and, fittingly with its genre, The White Lotus' Meghann Fahy, combines the hilarity of Fahy's alma mater show with the dark underbelly of Big Little Lies, all of which unfolds against the veneered backdrop of a New England-style estate.

Produced by Margot Robbie's LuckyChap productions and starring a coterie of A-list names, it's no wonder that fans are eager for the show to be renewed for a second season. This is everything we know about whether that's on the horizon.
'Sirens follows Devon DeWitt (Meghann Fahy) as she struggles to reconnect with her sister Simone (Milly Alcock) and navigate uber-wealthy waters, all the while trying to figure out what is so irresistible about this world and who on the island really holds the power,' the series' official Netflix synopsis reads.
Moore stars as Michaela Kell, Simone's boss, who reigns supreme on the island and in Simone's heart, per Netflix, with Kevin Bacon starring as Michaela's wealthy husband, Peter.
At the time of writing, Sirens hasn't been renewed for a second season, and given its status as a limited series it's unclear what a second season's fate may be. However, the precedent with Netflix's limited series seems to be that where there's demand, renewals for second seasons tend to follow.
Nobody Wants This, Beef and The Four Seasons are just a handful of examples of Netflix limited series that have been renewed for second outings, so here's hoping Sirens receives the same treatment.

Tony Parker house details: Kai Cenat stream reveals $16.5M mansion complete with Nando's restaurant
The Spurs' dynasty didn't come with bells and whistles. Gregg Popovich valued players with simple off-the-court lives and a high work ethic who were willing to work as a team. Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker embodied those values, as did Kawhi Leonard when he joined the fray. Advertisement As it turns out, Parker isn't exactly living the simple life in his post-playing career. A live stream appearance with Kai Cenat revealed Parker is living the dream in a massive mansion, which includes his own restaurant. Cenat and other popular streamers are spending their "30 Days of Summer" marathon in Parker's house, creating an odd mashup throughout July. Here's what you need to know about Parker's house and where it's located. 📲 Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp Where does Tony Parker live? Parker's mansion is located in Boerne, Texas, a San Antonio suburb just north of the city. In 2018, Parker actually personalized the address of the home, renaming it to 9 Rue Parker in a tribute to his jersey number. "Rue" translates to "street" in French. Advertisement The former Spurs guard has made a home in the San Antonio area despite hailing from France, and who can blame him with the mansion he has? The city has shown its love for Parker over the years, and he has shown plenty back to the community. As of 2020, the population of Boerne is just under 18,000. Here are the details on Parker's house and its amenities. MORE:Does Kai Cenat play basketball? Tony Parker house details Parker's house is loaded with amenities, to no surprise. The mansion features a private water park, including lazy rivers, and it has 10 bedrooms, eight bathrooms and four additional partial bathrooms. The property spans 53 acres. Advertisement The house includes a nearly 6,000-square foot gym, a tennis court, an outdoor volleyball court and, of course, a basketball court. All of that working out would make someone hungry. What wasn't well-known before Cenat started streaming in the house is that Parker has a 24-hour Nando's PERi-PERi chicken restaurant. The live stream showed a massive Nando's logo, bar seating and an employee behind the bar. The mansion also features a wine room that can fit up to 1,500 bottles. Here's what a prospective buyer wouldn't get: the "champion room," which features Parker's jerseys, trophies and NBA championship rings. Well, you would get the room — just don't expect Parker's prized possessions to come with it. Advertisement The exact value is the house isn't clear. Parker listed it for $16.5 million in 2024 but has since taken it off the market. It was also listed for $19.5 million in 2021. Whether the mansion would fetch $16.5 million at this point is unknown, but all of the amenities Parker has at his disposal wouldn't come cheap. MORE:Inside newest Spurs standout Dylan Harper's family tree What is Nando's restaurant? Nando's is a fast-food chicken chain that specializes in Portuguese-style peri-peri chicken. The chain started in South Africa and has more than 1,200 restaurants in operation across the world. Advertisement Nando's is fairly new to the United States. The first restaurant opened in Washington D.C. in 2008, and there are still only 46 locations in the U.S. — or 47, if you count Parker's private restaurant. With only four public Nando's restaurants in Texas, anyone looking for some PERi-PERi chicken might find that their closest location is actually right in the middle of a former NBA champion's mansion. MORE:Ranking the 16 biggest busts in NBA Draft history Tony Parker career earnings and net worth Parker made $165.8 million in NBA contracts over the course of an 18-year career that included four championships. His largest contract was signed in 2004, when he agreed to a six-year, $66 million extension with the Spurs. Parker ultimately spent 17 of his 18 seasons in San Antonio, so it's no surprise he's chosen to stay in the area long-term even after his playing career. Advertisement Parker's net worth is an estimated $85 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Some of that money went toward his Boerne mansion, which undoubtedly requires constant upkeep between the waterpark, gym and Nando's. MORE:Every Game 7 in NBA Finals history

Movie Review: In 'The Old Guard 2,' Charlize Theron and Uma Thurman get half a movie
About 80 minutes into 'The Old Guard 2,' I found myself wondering how the filmmakers were going to wrap things up. There were a lot of threads dangling with Charlize Theron'sgang of immortal warriors, split up and facing extinction, and she still had yet to face off with the new villain, Discord (apparently the first immortal), played by Uma Thurman. The promise of a showdown between The Bride and Furiosa may not justify the existence of this sequel, now streaming on Netflix, but it was something to look forward to nonetheless. And while they do fight, for a little, something even crazier happens not too long after: The movie ends or, rather, stops mid-climax. An ending was never part of the plan. This might be an attempt at a cheeky nod to the life of an immortal — what is an ending after all, I guess? But unlike the first film, which merely left the door open for the possibility of a sequel, 'The Old Guard 2' cuts off mid-movie. Not only is there no option to 'continue watching,' there's no promise we'll even get an 'Old Guard 3.' Moviegoers endure a lot of partial stories in these days of franchise filmmaking, ever desperate for a built-in audience. With some, you know a resolution is coming at a later date, as with 'Mission: Impossible' or 'Wicked.' With others, like 'Dune,' a part two or three might have been a question mark, but the intention was unambiguously there. There's nothing fun or enjoyable about being surprised that you've been watching a 'part one' the whole time, especially on a service that has helped train us to click next episode. Perhaps that also has to do with the quality of 'The Old Guard 2,' which feels like a step down from the first movie, which provided much-needed escapism in the summer of 2020 as we met Theron's Andromache the Scythian (Andy, for short) and welcomed KiKi Layne's new immortal Nile. It ended with Booker (Matthias Schoenaerts) being exiled for a betrayal and the tease that Andy's old companion Quynh (Vân Veronica Ngô), was still alive. Quynh is, understandably, not thrilled that she was left at the bottom of the ocean for centuries. She wants to punish Andy the most — the movie heavily implies that they were more than sisters in arms, but never quite goes so far as to confirm that their love was romantic, which is especially strange given that it doesn't shy away from letting Nicky (Luca Marinelli) and Joe (Marwan Kenzari) be an out gay couple. One of the most significant behind-the-scenes changes is that Gina Prince-Bythewood ( 'The Woman King,' 'Love & Basketball') ceded directing duties to Victoria Mahoney, who has directed episodes of 'Queen Sugar' and 'You' and served as second unit director on 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.' Working off Greg Rucka and Sarah L. Walker's screenplay, the movies opens with a lively action sequence in which the immortals attempt to nab an arms dealer. Nicky and Joe are the distractors, getting their own James Bond-esque car chase, while Nile, Andy and Copley (Chiwetel Ejiofor) get more hand-to-hand combat on the property. It sets a fun tone and allows for some (mostly) welcome exposition — 'remember, you're not immortal anymore' — for those who might not have the best memory of something they watched at the height of the pandemic. But the film never recaptures that energy again and devolves into an increasingly tedious meditation on time, death and the science of why Andy lost her immortality power (which is approaching 'Face/Off' levels of insanity). Thurman has a mighty good scowl as the 'bad immortal' who long ago decided she didn't have any desire to help the humans who persecuted her kind, but the movie seems to be saving her big moment for later. Overall 'The Old Guard 2' is fine, a bit of a background movie that's probably easy enough to tune in and out of (though Schoenaerts, a standout, gives it some real pathos). Its greatest sin is the non-ending, which might have moviegoers engaging in their own rants about wasted time. Cliffhangers are a gamble — when the movie is satisfying on its own, it can leave them wanting more. In this case, it might just leave them angry. Audiences in 2025 deserve better. 'The Old Guard 2,' a Netflix release now streaming, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association for 'sequences of graphic violence and some language.' Running time: 105 minutes. Two stars out of four.
