Will There Be A Season 2 Of 'Sirens' On Netflix? Here's What We Know

Sirens, Netflix's latest laugh-out-loud entry to its burgeoning eat-the-rich cannon, has taken the internet by storm since its debut on the streaming platform on May 22.
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.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow – release date, confirmed cast, plot details, and more about the exciting DCU Chapter One movie

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow – key information - Set to be released in June 2026- Filming wrapped in early May- No trailer revealed yet- Milly Alcock will play the titular character- Other cast members reportedly unveiled- Based on Tom King and Bilquis Evely's comic book namesake- Should directly adapt the story from the aforementioned graphic novel- Unclear how it'll impact the wider DCU Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, due to fly into theaters in June 2026, will introduce the titular hero to a whole new audience. Over 40 years have passed since Kara Zor-El's only big-screen adventure. And, while she's appeared in numerous TV shows, it's high time that Kal-El's jaded but similarly powerful cousin returned to the silver screen spotlight. With Supergirl's long-overdue sophomore movie outing set to be the DC Universe's (DCU) second film release, you'll want to learn more about it. Below, I've rounded up the latest information on the superhero flick, including its confirmed release date and cast, story details, and more. Potential spoilers follow for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and the graphic novel it's based on. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will land in theaters worldwide on June 26, 2026. That means Supergirl will make her DCU debut almost one year after James Gunn's Superman movie officially kicks off the DCU. Well, if you discount Creature Commandos' first season. But I digress. Although he's not directing it, Gunn, one of DC Studios' co-heads, confirmed (via Threads) that principal photography wrapped in early May. With over 12 months to complete its post-production phase, there's no reason why the DCU Chapter One movie won't make its current release date. Nope. A teaser could be shown at San Diego Comic-Con 2025 in late July, if DC Studios is in attendance and one has been edited in time. Right now, though, no footage is publicly available. Once a trailer is released, I'll update this section. Potential spoilers follow for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Here's who I expect to see in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow: Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl Jason Momoa as Lobo Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll David Krumholtz as Zor-El Emily Beecham as Alura In-Ze So far, Alcock and Momoa are the only actors who are officially confirmed to appear. Alcock, who you might recognize from House of the Dragon and Sirens, was picked to play Supergirl in January 2024. Alcock made it to the final two alongside Meg Donnelly last January, and was then selected by Gunn and his studio co-chief Peter Safran to play a character previously portrayed by the likes of Helen Slater, Melissa Benoist, and Summer Glau in a live-action capacity. Real name Kara Zor-El, she hails from Krypton, aka the destroyed planet that was also home to Kal-El/Clark Kent/Superman. In fact, she's Superman's cousin, so you won't be surprised to learn that she possesses identical powers to the only other surviving Kryptonian. Expect to see her use her superhuman physical abilities, heat vision, X-ray vision, invulnerability, and flight-based skills in Woman of Tomorrow. As for Momoa, who played Aquaman in the now-defunct DC Extended Universe (DCEU), he'll cameo as Lobo. The sole survivor of another alien race that lived on the utopian world known as Czarnia, Lobo travels the cosmos as a bounty hunter/mercenary. He's got the skillset for the job, too, with super strength, speed, and agility, plus immortality, self-healing powers, and expert marksmanship, ensuring that few foes can best him in short- and long-range combat. Interestingly, Lobo doesn't appear in Woman of Tomorrow's comic book namesake (more on the story later), so I'm keen to learn why writer Ana Nogueira and director Craig Gillespie included him in the movie adaptation. Where the rest of the cast is concerned, Ridley, who appeared in 3 Body Problem on Netflix, will play Ruthye (per Deadline). A young and noble warrior who enlists the eponymous hero's help to track down the individual who murdered her dad, Ruthye will play an integral role in the story. Meanwhile, Krumholtz and Beecham are on board (per The Hollywood Reporter) as Kara's parents, Zor-El and Alura, so expect to see some flashbacks to Kara's childhood and, potentially, Krypton's demise. According to the aforementioned Deadline article, Schoenaerts is tackling the role of Krem, aka the primary villain of the piece, who's responsible for killing Ruthye's father. Lastly, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will feature everyone's favorite boisterous pooch, Krypto. Inspired by Gunn's own rescue dog Ouzo, Krypto will make his DCU debut in Gunn's Superman movie before he traverses the galaxy with Kara and Ruthye. Possible spoilers follow for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow doesn't have a story synopsis yet. However, it's already possible to draw some conclusions about its plot because it'll draw heavily from its graphic novel series namesake. Indeed, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is the same title bestowed upon an eight-issue series written by Tom King and drawn by Bilquis Eveley, which ran from June 2021 to February 2022. In it, Kara Zor-El crosses paths with Ruthye and is asked to help the latter find the man (i.e. Krem) responsible for killing her dad. A reluctant Supergirl agrees to help, thus kicking off the literary work's events. I won't spoil much else because, well, spoilers. However, Woman of Tomorrow is a unique comic book series in that it doesn't tell the story from the perspective of the titular hero. Indeed, we witness events play out through Ruthye's eyes, so I'm curious to see if this'll be the case in its movie adaptation, or if Kara will be our eyes and ears instead. Regardless, it seems like Supergirl's first solo DCU outing will be incredibly faithful to its graphic novel counterpart. In January, Gunn revealed Woman of Tomorrow's first behind-the-scenes image, and it showed Alcock's Kara in a place that'll be very familiar to DC fans. Sure, this is just a single picture, but I'd be amazed if the forthcoming flick isn't a near-identical retelling of the plot that plays out in DC Comics literature. Of equal intrigue will be the movie's age rating. By all accounts, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is a pretty dark story from a thematic standpoint, so its live-action interpretation could push the boundaries of what's considered to be a PG-13 movie in the US and a 12-plus film in the UK. I suspect these are the age ratings it'll eventually earn, as Gunn, Safran, and company won't want to make a 16-plus or even R-rated film that fewer people will be able to see. The short answer is: I don't know. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will be the fourth DCU project released after Creature Commandos season 1, Superman, and Lanterns. The last of that trio is the next HBO TV Original that'll also air on Max (US and Australia) and Sky/Now TV (UK). It's expected to launch in early 2026. Post-Woman of Tomorrow, the only other DCU production confirmed to be in active development, is Clayface. A small-budget horror flick from Mike Flanagan, it's currently penciled in to arrive in September 2026 and, based on what's been publicly revealed, it's highly unlikely to have ties to Woman of Tomorrow. Until the Daughter of Krypton's next standalone adventure is out, then, nobody can say what the future holds for Kara Zor-El or how her first DCU solo movie will impact Gunn and Safran's cinematic universe. What we do know is Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is positioning Supergirl as the fourth superhero that the DCU will be built around. In May, WBD CEO David Zaslav told investors that Superman, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, and Batman are the DCU's "big asset builders" (per Yahoo). So, this isn't the last we'll see of Kara in the DCU.

Will There Be a Season 3 of ‘America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders?'

Season 1 of America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders first graced the screen in June 2024, and the docuseries became a huge hit for Netflix. The second season debuted this month on June 18, and fans already want more. Here's what we know about season 3 of America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Netflix has not officially announced a season 3, but the team has been teasing the audition process for the coming year. They even shared a finalized roster of 36 cheerleaders this June for training camp 2025, and a clip featuring guest judge, Kacey Musgraves—who would be a huge get for a new season. Each season is an examination of the young women auditioning to perform on the cheerleading team for the Dallas Cowboys, following those who make it to training camp as they grow and develop their skills. Season 2 followed both the rookies and the seasoned veterans who will ultimately find their place in one of the 36 spots on the official squad. Training camp is led by DCC director Kelli Finglass and head choreographer Judy Trammell, who will most likely be back. Musgraves seems to be involved in some capacity, and some girls will be returning from past seasons. The team also shared their 'rookie roundup.' Fan favorite Dayton might make an appearance, though this fan-made TikTok explains she did not make the final round. If the show is definitely continuing, it seems likely that it would be released next summer, since season 1 and 2 both came out in June, one year apart. This post will be updated.

‘Duke Nukem' Show Coming From Game Adaptation Honcho Adi Shankar

After helping get adaptations for Castlevania, Devil May Cry, and Far Cry onto Netflix, Adi Shankar has now set his sights on Duke Nukem. The well-known showrunner-executive producer recently told Esquire Magazine he bought the rights to the shooter franchise. He probably won't get to it for a while—he's got a second season of Devil May Cry to work on, plus adaptations for Assassin's Creed, PUBG, Hyper Light Drifter, and who knows what else—but he's already got an idea for what the potential series will be. 'It's a middle finger to everybody,' he said. 'When Duke blew up, a bunch of people sat around trying to turn it into a brand. It can't be made by a corporation, because the moment a corporation makes Duke Nukem, it's no longer Duke Nukem. I don't intend on having anyone tell me what to do on this one.' The original Duke Nukem was a 2D platformer released in 1991 from Apogee Software and 3D Realms. Later installments transitioned to first and third-person shooters, but each game puts Duke in fights against aliens or the military. Its last installment was 2011's Duke Nukem Forever, which came out after Borderlands creator Gearbox (which now owns the franchise) took over development duties with Triptych Games and Pirahna Games, and opened to pretty lousy reviews. The franchise hasn't been seen since, but over the years, there's been suggestions of a film adaptation, and the Cobra Kai creators are attached as of 2022. Who knows if Shankar's show means a Duke Nukem game is on the horizon, since Gearbox is currently on Borderlands 4 duty and his other adaptations haven't yet yielded new games for their respective source materials. But if the show ends up happening, it'll certainly be worth talking about, for better and worse. Want more io9 news?
