'Tis the season to cancel plans, and spend your weekends curled up on the couch with a great television series. Luckily, Netflix is keeping our favourite pastime alive and well through autumn and winter, with the latest addition to the streamer: Sirens. Set over a single, sun-drenched weekend at a Nantucket estate, it’s part social satire, part psychological thriller, and entirely addictive.
With Julianne Moore as a deliciously manipulative socialite, and Australian actress Milly Alcock and Meghann Fahy as sisters caught in her orbit, Sirens taps into the things we love to watch most: beautiful places, extreme wealth, and enormous secrets. But if you've already binged all eight episodes and are wondering what to watch next, don't fret. We've found seven shows that speak the same hypnotic language. Keep reading for our pick of shows like Sirens to inspire your next watch.
1. The White Lotus
If it's peeling back the layers of wealth you enjoy watching, then look no further. A masterclass in slow-burn satire, The White Lotus strips the sheen off luxury resorts and their guests, to reveal secrets, power plays, and plenty of corruption. Even better, there are three seasons to devour, with all episodes now streaming — and, if you're a fan of Meghann Fahy, she stars in season two.
Where to watch: HBO Max, Binge
2. Big Little Lies
Set in the fictional coastal town of Monterey, Big Little Lies is a portrait of privilege where everything is not as it seems. Based on Liane Moriarty's novel by the same name, the ensemble cast is seriously stacked, featuring Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Zoë Kravitz, Laura Dern, Meryl Streep, Shailene Woodley, Alexander Skarsgard, and Adam Scott, to name a few. Like Sirens, it explores the chaos beneath these characters' curated lives, where the performance of perfection is hiding some big flaws.

3. Little Fires Everywhere
Little Fires Everywhere follows two families in an affluent suburban community whose lives become intertwined through secrets, privilege, and conflicting values. Starring Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington, the series explores themes of motherhood, race, and class, revealing the tensions hidden beneath a polished exterior.

4. Bad Sisters
Sharp, darkly funny, and female-led, this Irish series follows five sisters determined to protect one another — with murder as a viable option. Think Sirens, but with a little more quirk. We're still crossing our fingers for a third season...
Where to watch: Apple TV+
5. The Undoing
Proving she really is the master of this kind of drama, Nicole Kidman stars in another show on our list. The Undoing follows her character, Grace, a woman whose seemingly perfect Manhattan life begins to dissolve after a violent murder and her husband’s sudden disappearance. But the real mystery isn’t just who's guilty, but how long Grace can hold her world together in the midst of chaos.

6. Succession
It's not coastal or female-centric, but what Succession does have in common with Sirens is a study of wealth, influence, and toxic family dynamics. And if you still need convincing, it won 19 Emmys across four seasons.
Where to watch: HBO Max
7. Your Friends And Neighbours
Jon Hamm stars in this new drama as Coop, a once-powerful hedge fund manager who, after losing everything, resorts to stealing from his affluent friends and neighbours. Set against the backdrop of New York's elite upstate suburbs, the series is led by a stellar cast including Amanda Peet, Olivia Munn, and Mark Tallman. Even better, new episodes are dropping weekly, so there's something to keep you occupied for a few weeks to come.
