There's Still Some Hope That 'Sirens' Could Get Another Season
Though Netflix's new dark comedy Sirens just dropped yesterday, we're already fantasizing about a second season. Created by Molly Smith Metzler (Maid) and executive produced by Margot Robbie's LuckyChap, the five-episode series follows two estranged sisters, Devon DeWitt (Meghann Fahy) and Simone DeWitt (Milly Alcock), who reconnect after spending an extended time apart. Simone works as a live-in assistant for a quirky socialite, Michaela 'Kiki' Kell (Julianne Moore), and Devon spends a weekend at the Kell's beach estate while they plan for their annual gala. Kevin Bacon also stars as Michaela's husband Peter, and Glenn Howerton, Bill Camp, and Felix Solis round out the stacked cast.
While it's touted as a limited series, that hasn't stopped a network from renewing a show before. Below, here's everything we know about season 2.
As of right now, there's no definitive answer. In a recent interview with Variety, Smith Metzler noted that although the story of Sirens, which is actually an adaptation of her 2011 play Elemeno Pea, is 'contained,' she's still 'dying' to work on a continuous series. 'I'm really excited to move into an ongoing space,' she said, 'and I'm actively thinking about that and looking for what that will be.' If that means that there might be hope for a potential second season, we'll take it.
Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock, Julianne Moore, and Kevin Bacon would undoubtedly have to return, as they're the main cast members in season 1, and much of the story revolves around their characters.
The fifth and final episode of season 1, 'Siren Song,' ended on a major cliffhanger.
Simone turns down her boyfriend's engagement and, instead, starts dating her boss Michaela's husband Peter, and Devon decides to put her own life on hold to continue being the sole caretaker for their dad. A second season might pick up where we left off and dive into Simone's new life of luxury as the new Mrs. Kell. It would also be interesting to see what happens to Michaela now that she and Peter are divorced.

NASA will start livestreaming content on Netflix later this summer
NASA is bringing live NASA+ programming to Netflix. For the uninitiated, NASA+ is the space agency's very own streaming platform. Content will begin showing up later this summer. This will be reserved for live events, with NASA saying it'll be used to stream "rocket launches, astronaut spacewalks, mission coverage and breathtaking live views of Earth from the International Space Station." NASA+ also streams original documentaries, but it doesn't look like that's part of this deal. 'The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 calls on us to share our story of space exploration with the broadest possible audience,' said Rebecca Sirmons, general manager of NASA+. She went on to say that the agency is committed to inspiring new generations "right from the comfort of their couch or in the palm of their hand from their phone." This won't be reserved for US residents, as NASA says it'll be available throughout the globe. This should expand the agency's reach significantly because Netflix has over 300 million subscribers all over the planet. NASA+ isn't going anywhere. It's still available through the NASA app and on the official website. The free service replaced a pre-existing cable channel.

Lena Dunham Took 'Intentional Break' From Acting After ‘Girls'
Eight years after Girls ended, Lena Dunham is returning to the small screen with Netflix's Too Much. The Golden Globe winner recently explained why she took an 'intentional break' from acting and public life after facing backlash around several controversies involving her breakout HBO comedy-drama, which ran for six seasons from 2012 to 2017. More from Deadline 'Too Much' Trailer: Megan Stalter Escapes To London In Lena Dunham's Netflix Comedy; Jessica Alba, Rita Ora, Andrew Scott Among Guest Stars Lena Dunham Says She's Not Acting In 'Too Much' Netflix Series Due To Body Shaming On 'Girls' Allison Williams Thinks An Intimacy Coordinator On 'Girls' Would Have Been "So Helpful" 'I didn't really understand how to distinguish between what was and wasn't necessary for the public. I felt confused about how I was supposed to respond,' she told The Times. 'I thought if I explain properly who I am, or give a glimpse of who I am, people are going to have a different perception of me, that we would be friends. But no one cares — and that's fine.' Dunham added, 'I always joke that I need a T-shirt that says, 'I survived New York media in 2012 and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.' And all I got was this lousy PTSD.' In addition to criticism around the show's lack of diversity and other controversies, Dunham faced backlash for her support of series writer/executive producer Murray Miller after actress Aurora Perrineau accused him of sexual assault in 2017. Going to rehab for an addiction to prescription anxiety medication, Dunham 'felt like all the maturing and changing that had been kept at bay by the experience of being in that cocoon of the show was suddenly happening at a speed that was overwhelming. It was a painful metamorphosis. I definitely took an intentional break [from public life].' Premiering July 10 on Netflix, Too Much stars Meg Stalter as New Yorker Jessica, who moves to London after a disastrous breakup and sparks a romance with musician Felix (Will Sharpe). Co-created by Dunham and husband Luis Felber, the Girls alum plays Jessica's older sister, who has similarly retreated from public life after a messy divorce sent her moving back in with their mom. Dunham originally opted not to appear in the series, explaining she 'was not willing to have another experience like what I'd experienced around Girls at this point in my life' with the body shaming she faced on the show. 'Physically, I was just not up for having my body dissected again,' she told The New Yorker last July.

NASA eyes summer streaming liftoff on Netflix
Streaming giant Netflix said Monday it will soon allow viewers to binge rocket launches and spacewalks through a partnership with US space agency NASA. "Whether you're a die-hard space nerd or someone who just really, really enjoys seeing Earth glow from 250 miles up, the countdown has officially begun," Netflix said in a blog post announcing the new NASA+ feed. Programming will include "jaw-dropping Earth views from the International Space Station (ISS), astronaut spacewalks that make your palms sweat" and rocket launch livestreams, according to Netflix. NASA said its partnership with the entertainment company, which reported over 300 million subscribers in December, aims to "bring space a little closer to home." "Our Space Act of 1958 calls on us to share our story of space exploration with the broadest possible audience," wrote Rebecca Sirmons, general manager of NASA+. The stream is committed to "inspiring new generations -- right from the comfort of their couch or in the palm of their hand from their phone," she added. NASA+ programming will remain free of charge for viewers on the website and the agency's mobile app. Netflix announced a similar partnership with French television group TF1 earlier this month, its first such deal with a major traditional broadcaster anywhere in the world. That programming is slated to launch in summer 2026, giving Netflix subscribers in France access to five TV channels and a streaming platform. The terms of the Netflix deal were not made public, but follow in the footsteps of other partnerships to expand its content offerings. The company entered new territory at the end of 2024 by livestreaming two NFL games and a boxing match between YouTube personality Jake Paul and retired professional boxer Mike Tyson. cha/sla/des Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
