"This story has a lot of teeth," said creator and executive producer Molly Smith Metzler (via Tudum), who also wrote the 2011 play on which it's based.

"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."

But when can you watch it? And who else appears in the cast?

Read on for everything you need to know about Sirens.

"Devon thinks her sister Simone has a really creepy relationship with her new boss, the enigmatic socialite Michaela Kell," reads the official synopsis.

"Michaela’s cultish life of luxury is like a drug to Simone, and Devon has decided it’s time for an intervention, but she has no idea what a formidable opponent Michaela will be.

"Told over the course of one explosive weekend at the Kells’ lavish beach estate, Sirens is an incisive, sexy, and darkly funny exploration of women, power, and class."
