Hey Sirens fans, craving more salacious family drama? We've got you covered! From cultish family dynamics to whodunits set in lavish locales, here are 12 shows fans of Sirens should add to their watch list.

1. The Perfect Couple

Love a beachside mansion full of secrets? Especially one run by a manipulative matriarch? The Perfect Couple checks all those boxes and then some, following a wealthy family's chaotic wedding weekend where secrets, lies, and a washed-up body threaten to unravel their carefully crafted image.

Watch The Perfect Couple on Netflix.

2. The White Lotus

Murray Bartlett, Jolene Purdy, Natasha Rothwell, and Lukas Gage in 'The White Lotus.'

Picture-perfect vacations turn into slow-motion disasters in HBO's uber-popular anthology series The White Lotus. Each season takes place at a different White Lotus property where the entitled guests and the dedicated staff who serve them collide in a mess of secrets, betrayals, and unexpected deaths.

Watch The White Lotus on Max.

3. Nine Perfect Strangers

Nicole Kidman in 'Nine Perfect Strangers.'

A luxury wellness retreat promising transformation delivers something much darker in Nine Perfect Strangers. Like Moore in Sirens, Kidman plays an enigmatic leader with a disturbing obsession with exerting control over her guests, who are made up of a buzzy ensemble cast.

4. Palm Royale

Fans who loved Devon's sharp wit in Sirens will find a kindred spirit in Palm Royale's Maxine (Kristen Wiig), a woman who schemes her way into the inner circle of Palm Beach's most exclusive country club.

5. Revenge

ABC's twisty series Revenge may be over a decade old, but its high-stakes tale of calculated payback still has fans talking. The series stars Emily VanCamp as a mysterious outsider who infiltrates Hampton's high society to take down the people responsible for destroying her life.

6. The Better Sister

Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks in 'The Better Sister.'

The dysfunction between Devon and Simone is nothing compared to Chloe and Nicky's in The Better Sister. Following the murder of Chloe's husband (and Nicky's former boyfriend), the estranged sisters are forced back into each other's lives — along with all the secrets they tried to leave buried in the past.

Watch The Better Sister on Prime Video.

7. The Path

Cult behavior is implied in Sirens, but it's on full display in The Path. The Hulu series follows Eddie Lane (Aaron Paul), who converts to a controversial movement called Meyerism, only to suffer a crisis of faith just as his role in the organization begins to rise.

8. Bad Sisters

Anne-Marie Duff, Eva Birthistle, Eve Hewson, Sharon Horgan, and Sarah Greene in 'Bad Sisters.'

Up for more dysfunctional family drama with a side of potential murder? Bad Sisters offers up as much dark humor as Sirens, following a group of fiercely loyal sisters who may or may not have had a hand in their brother-in-law's untimely death.

9. Sharp Objects

Sharp Objects is moodier and more intense than Sirens, but similarly centers on an affluent family hiding dark pasts beneath a polished facade. Amy Adams stars as a journalist who returns to her Missouri hometown to investigate two girls' deaths while facing her complicated relationship with her mother and younger sister.

10. Big Little Lies

Nicole Kidman, Laura Dern, Reese Witherspoon, Shailene Woodley, and Zoë Kravitz in 'Big Little Lies.'

Kidman has yet another incredible performance in a gripping drama about the dark undercurrents of a wealthy coastal community in California. Like Sirens, Big Little Lies unpacks the complexities of female friendships and hidden turmoil within privileged families.

11. Mildred Pierce

Kate Winslet and Todd Haynes in 'Mildred Pierce.'

In this 2011 miniseries, Kate Winslet stars as a single mother who — despite building a successful restaurant business from scratch during the Great Depression — can't keep up with the demands of her spoiled daughter, Veda (Evan Rachel Wood).

Watch Mildred Pierce on Max.

12. Desperate Housewives

It's not a sprawling oceanfront estate, but the white picket fences of Wisteria Lane offer just as much of a facade. The iconic, long-running drama Desperate Housewives unravels the scandals lurking beneath the surface of a seemingly perfect suburban street.
