What happened to Simone in Sirens? The ending, explained

If you didn’t watch new Netflix TV series Sirens in one sitting over the bank holiday weekend, what were you actually doing?

Starring Julianne Moore, Meghann Fahy and Milly Alcock, it explores wealth, social class and trauma when Devon (Fahy) tracks down her wayward sister Simone (Alcock) who is working for enigmatic socialite Michaela (Moore).

By the end of a dramatic Labor Day weekend, we see the sisters split once more – Devon headed back to Buffalo to care for their dementia-ridden father, while Simone makes the most shocking choice of all. In order to save herself once Michaela fires her and tries to exile her from the Upper State New York island their compound resides on, she decides to fight fire with fire and show her husband Peter (Kevin Bacon) the photo of the two of them kissing that Michaela has kept as leverage in case they divorce.

This discovery pushes Peter over the edge, instructing a member of his staff Jose to destroy the image and effectively ending his marriage to Michaela. Bizarrely, but perhaps predictably, this leads to Peter and Simone getting together. The very end of the series sees Simone as the new bride looking over the estate after Michaela has instead been exiled. Devon begged her to return to Buffalo with her, but Simone could not go back to that life.

Milly Alcock on what happens to Simone in Sirens

In a recent interview with The Wrap, Milly opened up about what she believes will happen to Simone after the final moments of the series. When it comes to what Simone’s life will look like after making her choice, Milly predicts she will start a family with Peter and help to look after his estate. “She’ll have a hand in a few things – I think that she’ll help Peter run things, so that she knows what’s going on,” she said.

Of course, her decision at the end of Sirens included throwing Julianne Moore‘s Michaela completely under the bus. Milly is sure that the friendship between the two is 100% over.

“I think that she feels a lot of guilt for what she’s done, because she’s not a monster It’s a really uncomfortable place for her to revisit– it’s like a bad breakup, you don’t want to think about it,” she said, adding that Simone is “chronically performing” due to problems with her own self image and identity.
